[quote=Anonymous]Just renovated my kitchen. The old one was unusable.  Here's what I found on your list that was helpful:

Bosch 36" counter depth fridge - absolutely love it.  Plenty of room, although the freezer is a bit small for me, and I do have an extra one in another room.

Range hood - we got the biggest one we could find, and probably the most expensive, and as far as I can tell all it does it make so much noise that I have to wear ear plugs while cooking.  Beware.  Bigger and more expensive does not equal better.

Countertops - I sacrificed a bit of cabinet space for these and I'm not sorry.  It's totally worth it.  We have Ceasarstone and it's been great.  No stains or scratches.  I don't put hot stuff on it, though.

Drawers - we did mostly drawers, but I have to say I could have maybe used just one lower cabinet somewhere, because some things really just need a cabinet.

Wet bar - don't have one, but sure wish I did.  This would be great for coffee.

Wall oven - I'm super short and based on our kitchen design it would have had to be a bit high for me, and I wanted the cabinet space.  Didn't get it and don't miss it.

One thing I love that was actually an accident - we put the microwave in a drawer space in the center island. We had planned a drawer microwave or drop down microwave for a space just under the island counter, but it never came in.  I had nowhere to put the old regular microwave, so I just stuck in there, and it ended up working out so well that we just left it.  It doesn't even look bad, since it's mostly hidden from view.  I thought it would be awkward with the door, but it isn't.
