    Golden Sun. It has a lot of feldspar in it, which you can't see in the photo. Feldspar is a pinky quartz vein.

    Love our freezer on the bottom fridge with separate temp controls and how the fridge keeps veggies fresh.

    The storage space. And the island, with - you guessed it, more storage space.
    Also the size of the kitchen is great for all the entertaining we do. Eventually we plan to change out the floor and get a backsplash but for now, I'm fine with things as they are.

    My favorite thing is my mirror backsplash. It makes the room sparkle and appear twice it's actual size.

    My kitchen's best feature is a custom neon sign in turquoise, white, & pink that says "Eat at Ann's". And Ann's is in my signature! My former husband had it made for our first Christmas together--creative & thoughtful, as I LOVE neon. :)

    How about a photo, Ann? I'd love to see it!

    Since we just moved into our house we designed, I love my entire kitchen. We were able to design an "L" shape kitchen, where prep area wraps around and is hidden from the living room and houses our microwave, toaster oven, countertop appliances, refrigerator, and lots of storage and a pantry. It is the "make ready" area where the mess can be hidden from view. A photo is hard to capture the entire space. The honed Uba Tuba and slate and copper backsplash are a great accent.

    Not everyone's first choice, but the 1962 ballet slipper pink tiles have grown on me, and I like the "retro" cabinet pulls. My kitchen is too cluttered for a photo, but this is what it looked like before I bought it. We rearranged and a fridge has replaced the stove, and the coffeepot is where the microwave used to be.

    The best feature of any kitchen is...the COOK! No matter how plain or fancy a kitchen is, its purpose is to provide good food. As long as the appliances work and the space is clean, a good cook can shine even if the kitchen isn't huge, granite, or home to a Wolf range.

    OK Nancy Walton, here's a pic of the "Eat at Ann's" sign. :) I live in a 1950s knotty pine cabin on the shore of Lake Superior, so it fits in well and brightens up the darkish walls.

    @sunnnydrew...Love your kitchen! so nice to see one that isn't white or espresso!
  • 12 years ago
    Nancy, just love your granite! I'm trying to find a granite to go on our island that would compliment the Bianco Romano on our perimeters. I definitely will take a look at the Golden Sun. Never heard of it before. Thx.

    I do NOT want to be negative here (I hate all the negative comments people post) but I can honestly say there is NOTHING I like about my kitchen: The counters are coming away from the wall, the refrigerator is too small, not enough room for my boys & I to cook together, the BIG ugly fluorescent light goes out all the time, everything is outdated. But, I DO like my "PANTRY" off the kitchen we cut a hole in the wall that leads to the garage & made a pantry ..THAT I DO LOVE !

    The 300-bottle climate-controlled wine room that was installed in part of our gigantic walk-in pantry.

    wow beautiful jmspdx ...Now after seeing this..I hate MY PANTRY

    I like the transition of the quarts counters and butcher-block breakfast bar. Lighting works well also.

    That there is room to prepare dinner for all 12 members of my family (aunt, uncle, dad, his wife, cousins, and their children)

    Makios: I LOVE the style of your kitchen. Mine is gigantic and has many nice features, but the former owners had very traditional tastes. If I'd had my way, it would look like yours. Gorgeous!

    My green mosaic backsplash and porcelaine/ststeel countertop...okay, that's 2 things, but I love my kitchen! It inspires me to be creative. :)

    The view sometimes I see deer from the window

    New home on our farm with a great farmhouse kitchen! Love my custom cabinets by Curtis Furniture..especially the pantry with recycle bins! And the very large island!
  • 12 years ago
    Everything in our recent DIY remodel. But if I had to pick one, our expanded kitchen island that has seating room now, a bookshelf, and the stained table legs. It is fun to cook on the island cooktop and still be able to be part of a conversation on the other side of the kitchen or in the family room. This was a fairly easy addition, we even made the countertop ourselves.

    The potential.

    The window! We are in the process of renovating our 1950's Hawaiian Plantation house kitchen and decided to put some of my favorite tropical flowers in stained glass.

    The backsplash I did and the light fixture my husband installed.

    greeneyemoon, I *LOVE* those! Did you have them done custom or buy them from someplace?
  • 12 years ago
    We had a local Big Island artist custom make them. I can connect you with her if you are interested.

    I embrace you, Hideous Kitchen. For although you are avocado, without proper storage, have vertigo- inducing wallpaper and had a petrified chipmunk under the stove when we first got acquainted, you will one day Win Me A New Kitchen! Like one of those ugly hairless cats or award winning so ugly, it's cute dogs, I would love to make you a youtube sensation. You are worthy of Oprah 's crocodile tears, and a dance from ellen, and more than enough sarcasm from Jeff lewis. You are That Ugly! Houzz - although a pair of slippers would be awesome, what about each state a winner gets a home makeover? You pair homeowners with designers/ contractors, and products, what about showing how well houzz can ACTUALLY work when all meet? It gets a little redundant just being on the upper echelon of novice, into yearn to be designer and homeowner - who can show me how to build the bridge beyond my limitations?

    I would love it, greeneyemoon, but I'm afraid I can't afford shipping. :( Do pass on, I think they're just GORGEOUS though, and how unique.

    A built-in trash can. I hate trash cans out and they take up too much floor space.

    I love almost thing everything about my 20 year old kitchen. It was added on to our old farmhouse. The best part is the kitchen's location. Can see the back and side yard. It's an open floor plan but you cannot see the kitchen from the entry or the mudroom. I cook everyday and it can often be messy.
  • 12 years ago
    I guess I will choose my jenn air black floating glass refrigerator and all the food in it....since the rest of the kitchen is basically still in the "potential" phaze.
  • 12 years ago
    My kitchen was built on the ground where rare sitings occur. That has to be the best feature.
    You probably will not know what the Cookamealio is but it's a rare sighting and happens in my kitchen.

    Wow, Mark, I didn't know the phenomenon has been named and catalogued. I think my spouse would vote that the best feature in our kitchen too (yay me!!)
