[quote=Anonymous]We recently renovated our kitchen. My husband is the cook so he took the lead on appliances and general design.

I agree with PP on the large stainless steel sink (and I'm the one who does most of the cleaning lol). Our old kitchen had a small stainless sink. I liked it except for the fact it was small...this large one is AMAZING and I can soak things on one side while washing on the other. It also has a rack on the bottom which I was meh about at first but I like that too. My MIL has a split sink and I hate it. Also make sure there is a light right above the sink, prior to renovation the lights were to the side, so at night I would miss dirt I'd see in the morning.

The cabinet drawers are nice, especially for pots and pans. We have sliding shelves everywhere else below the countertops.

We have quartz white countertops and they have been great. My H cooks often with spices that stain and it's wiped off easily. We have a friend who ended up getting the same countertop as us, and she said they've been able to wipe off Sharpie even.

We have a 36" gas cooktop and my H is very happy with it. There is a hood above which we run during cooking. My H does watch a lot of Kenji and we talked about induction but he wanted to stick with what he was comfortable with. Maybe next time.

We have a 36" french door fridge and also a 24" beverage fridge. I do like having both as we can keep beer/wine/soda in the beverage fridge, opening up space in the regular fridge.

We considered a small sink for our island but decided against it. My H likes having the large space for prep (our old kitchen was minuscule) and it's nice to sit at the island with him while he cooks. Plus we eat there too. And when people are visiting, the big island has been great for hanging out. [/quote]
