[quote=Anonymous]Lots of great tips. I think kitchen design is really personal, based on families and their usage. Here are 2 things we found work best for our family.

Fridge - Through many years of trial and error, we now have 2 side-by-side counter depth fridges (2- 25" Liebherr with bottom freezer and ice maker in each). We are an ADHD family and the single french door fridge was always a disaster (even when I labeled where things should go). With the side by side, DH and DCs know the left side by the stove is fresh whole foods, right side is prepared food, drinks and condiments. Saves me a lot of headaches.

Dishwasher - We once bought a house that had 4 dishwashers (2 stacked drawers by each sink)! I guess the previous owners liked to entertain. We were in heaven! For about six months. Then I realized my family was using every single plate, cup and spoon in the house thus, filling every single dishwasher before running (see prior ADHD disclosure). With our recent remodel, we were firm about just one dishwasher (and we reduced the volume of plates etc we own when we moved). I like that it's a whole lot less stuff to manage, and if we run low on glasses, one of the kids will have to run the dishwasher!

Good luck with remodel. I sounds like you are being very thoughtful about it.[/quote]
