I love marble but it doesn't belong in the kitchen.

I'm going with Mont Blanc Quartzite to get as close to it as I can.

anything above eye level is unusable without carrying a ladder around the kitchen to reach shite, its a shite tone of wasted money to raise ceilings and have full height cabinets you can only use the lower half of any way
I disagree with this. I love the look of our full ceiling cabinets. Plus, that’s where we put Christmas dishes and stuff we don’t need as often like vases.

Not sure if it has been listed, but we have a pull out drawer that has room / rack for 2x 13 gallon garbage cans. Can use one for recycling, or both for trash. Either way its 2x garbage cans that take up the place of one cabinet, is aesthetically pleasing, reduces any funky smell from trash and is just completely convenient. It is my favorite kitchen feature as silly as it may sound.

I can easily put an 18" wide cutting board in my sink, same for my paella pan, largest stock pot, 14" cast iron skillet. You'd have to be coming from a very small divided sink to make up the arguments you have here.


Even the larger divided sinks they make now max out at 16-17” on the big side. A half-sheet pan is 18” and a full sheet pan is 26”. A 12” skillet is going to be ~21” with the handle, my big stock pot on its side is 18”. That stuff doesn’t fit and even if you put it at an angle, it doesn’t leave you with room to work with. I don’t need an extra sink to soak that makes everything else more difficult and I don’t burn stuff.

How wide is the larger side of your divided sink?
If you have a commercial model with 24”, then that’s a different story, but somehow I doubt you do.

So my wife and kids stay out of my way while I’m in the kitchen.

I wish we had ceiling height cabinets. The aesthetics are much better. I keep a couple large items on top of the cabinets but dust that collects up there is disgusting. I wish I had a better place to store stuff like my meat grinder and sausage stuffer, which only gets used periodically.
