[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone's general feedback was so helpful, I have more questions to crowdsource.

We have to decide between a banquette or a freestanding kitchen table--banquette would mean sacrificing some drawer/cabinet space, but would probably fit more (kids especially) seating.  We'll have separate dining table in dining room, adjacent to the kitchen.  Anyone have thoughts?

Also, we're seriously considering getting an induction range.  While I know the fanciest homes tend to have giant gas ranges, from my research, induction seems to be faster and somewhat safer with little kids.  We're ok with limiting the cookware, but would love reactions from the crowd![/quote]

I love our built-in banquet seating (we have two sides built in, the other two sides are chairs).  It's cozy and the kids like to sit there to do their homework.  The seat of our banquet flips up, so there is storage for things we rarely use (the roasting pan I use about 3x per year, a few serving dishes, Holiday linens, etc).  The storage is not super convenient, but for items I only use at the holidays, it's not terrible.

The downside to the banquet is you have to crawl back there with a vacuum every few weeks to get all the crumbs that accumulate.  [/quote]
