I think the thing that irks me the most about my current kitchen is the lack of adequate cabinet and counter space. We have a pantry in the basement that I store my non every day stuff but I would like to have them closer at hand.

I also like to collect kitchen gadgets, old cooking tools, cookie cutters and aprons. I use alot of them but really admire the way that they look and would like to display them more prominently in an old wall cabinet with French doors or something of the like instead of in drawers like they are now.

As far as appliances my only real essential at the moment is my Kitchen Aid mixer because I do alot of baking.
