Lovely kitchens if you have a HUGE kitchen and pockets of cash. What about those of us who live in houses built before 1960 with small eat in kitchens or dining els? There is no room for an island. My kids had one cupboard for plastic goods that they could play in. A basket for art supplies amongst the potatoes and onions. And when we cooked together it was like a very, unchoreographed dance.

Lisa Clyne says:

really? You are showing us 50,000 to 100,000 kitchens that no one lives in? Thats not kid friendly to me.

You say, "If you're not comfortable with your children operating a microwave oven ... "

You must be kidding. As soon as they are tall enough to reach the controls, teach them how to use it and put them to work helping you make dinner. Child labor is a good thing.

And warming drawers are more of a hazard to your children, because if you don't follow the directions they can serve as incubators for pathogenic bacteria.

I have a drawer below the silverware drawer devoted to kid friendly cups and plates. It has made life SOOO much easier! I also devoted a drawer in our fridge for kiddo drinks as well, which is accessible to all of my children. A microwave a a lower elevation would make it just perfect. We have a large kitchen with poorly designed space, but someday....
