I've never understood the big deal about having a pot filler. I've never wanted one and I make a lot of big stocks and boil large pots of pasta, but there are so many other things I'd rather have than a pot filler.

I had one of these in a previous house and I agree, it's pretty useless.

Consider lights under your cabinets in work areas. Get a good light above your sink and not one of those dinky night lights.

Yes. Also, powerful lights over the chopping block.

Think about how you cook, how you move around when you cook, the types of things you cook and want to cook in considering your appliance.

+1, this should be step #1.

Another thought: if you are doing true custom cabinets, consider making them "full fridge" depth, at least near the refrigerator. Then you can get a standard fridge and it won't poke out past the cabinets on either side...and you won't have to buy the "counter depth" fridge that is skimpy on space.

I should have added to think about what you care about most if you're budgeting.

There are items that mean more to one person than they do to another. Some want granite countertops. Some don't. Some want a trash compactor. Some don't. I wish I'd put one in, myself.
