[quote=Anonymous]We redid our basement and put in a full kitchen, but with mini appliances. Our kids are younger (2 and newborn) and I have been surprised at how much we use the kitchen. I cook a lot of our meals down there. However, it's the space where I can be cooking and still see the kids playing, which is not the case for our other kitchen. I expect when they are old enough to be on a different floor from me, I will cook upstairs again. I definitely don't regret our decision. We have an undercounter refrigerator, an undercounter ice machine, a small four burner range top, a 19 inch dishwasher, and a microwave/ convection oven combo. I would definitely put in the dishwasher and a sink and the mini fridge even if it's just hang out area. Your kids are old enough to be taught to load their own dirty dishes. I love ice water and the ice machine is my favorite, but that's more of a personal preference. We have a small freezer on this level as well, which is handy. It's the size of a dorm fridge and its all we need. The space is also nice for guests since they have their own little apartment. We own a fairly small rowhouse and use every inch of space to live in and I still don't mind having two kitchens. [/quote]
