Forgive the untidiness, I was in the midst of cleaning up after jammie movie night when I stopped to snap these. So that's my kitchen from the middle of the room looking towards the cooking area. That is the extent of my prep area. It works with a lot of juggling, but forget multiple people working in the same area.
That's the other end of the kitchen, the eatin' end. That's original art work by The Abster on the wall there. It's a painting of her swimming in the lake, just in case you weren't sure who it was of.
And this picture is from the doorway to the living room. So to the left is a door outside to our deck. Just before that, just out of the frame is a large window overlooking the deck. On the right hand side there is a doorway going to the laundry room and bathroom. Further up on the right is a doorway going to Mike's little hobby room, which I've convinced him to turn into a large pantry. Also to my extreme right is the door to the "basement". So there's just no a lot of usable wall space.
One of my bloggy besties, Karen, suggested an island...... a suggestion that she could make since she's actually been in my kitchen. Cut up watermelon and everything. It ranks up there as one of my favourite bloggy moments. And I was all for an island, until Papa suggested putting in six feet of lower cabinets and counter top along the wall where my microwave currently resides. Great idea, huh?
So we did some shopping and pricing and I cam home a tad more discouraged then when I left. Only because I'm not 100% sure which way to go. I'm having a hard time picturing the cabinets in my kitchen. It's a bit of a hurry up and wait situation. Eventually though I will have a six foot baking counter in my kitchen and I can't wait.
What would you do to make my kitchen more user friendly?

I have no idea and am probably one of the WORST people to ask. Maybe see if someone has a program where you can "see" how each would look, like they do on the home improvement shows?
