The appliances would all be contained in cabinets with pop up mechanisms and integrated plugs. I don't want to have to take anything out or move it to use it, basically.</p> <p>I also want a gas cooktop and convection ovens. I also want a salamander and multiple dishwasher drawers.</p> <p>None of this is possible in this current house and I probably will never have a cooks kitchen, but that's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708854 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:40:09 +0000 808love 2708854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: Love that first pic! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708802 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 10:44:16 +0000 cat620 2708802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: Our microwave has a child lock function, so when it's locked, none of the buttons work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708798 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 10:24:48 +0000 LemonJack 2708798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on what I don't like about our current kitchen, the #1 thing for me is to have a lot of natural light! I would also like to have a pantry and more prep space. Our kitchen is laid out well, but it's not very big. We both love to cook so it would be nice to have more space in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708786 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 09:29:32 +0000 arosebyany 2708786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok here we go! I'm not sure why, but I am loving the navy cabinets! In the first pic I want everything, including the pots hanging on the wall, because I love how rustic it looks. On the second pic I love the floor to ceiling cabinets with all the glass. I would love to have a section like that. Also nothing but drawers on the bottom. Drawers are so much easier to keep organized IMO. </p> [attach=6202/17/omnmx8.600x450.IMG_1550.JPG] [attach=6202/17/omnmx9.450x600.IMG_1551.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708783 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 09:19:03 +0000 arosebyany 2708783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you all are happy, got me surfing Pinterest trying to find my kitchen :silly: I swear I once seen it in an IKEA catalogue. I'll find the pic eventually. One thing I do love is the two tone cabinets where the top are white or grey and the bottoms are navy or green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708780 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 09:09:03 +0000 Littlebit7 2708780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: I don't know how old your kids are..but do you have problems with little hands messing with or putting things in the microwave? That was always my fear with this placement. But I like how it's not in your sight line. Ours is currently built into the cabinets (it essentially takes up the bottom half of a upper cabinet) but I hate that I have to see it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dream-kitchen-whats-yours#post-2708638 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 20:52:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2708638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I had to look it up.

I'm not a fan of the granite counter tops and traditional cabinetry that many people love. </p> <p>My ideal kitchen would include tons of windows or maybe even a glass wall to let in as much natural light as possible, and natural surfaces (wood, exposed brick, stone, etc). I also would want a large kitchen island, ideally with a sink in it. </p> <p>How about you? What does your dream kitchen look like? </p>
