Rep Power: 3 | My Itty Bitty Teeny Tiny Kitchen
Just wanted to share with y'all my wee little kitchen. I can stand in one spot and touch the range, the sink and the DW. I'll say one thing for it! It's efficient! 
Remodeled it a year ago before we moved into the house. All new appliances, new sink and faucet, sanded and coated the butcher block with Waterlox, painted the cabinets and added new hardware and some under-counter lighting. Re-figured the cabinets over the fridge with divides to hold sheet pans, racks, etc.
It's hard to get the whole kitchen in one photo, so I divided it up. I needed one of those fish-eye lens.

Rep Power: 3 | Here are a couple "before" photos of the kitchen. One was made the day we were looking at the house and the other is just when we were starting to work on sanding down the counters. As you can see Augie is in there "helping" out.

There are, at times, I do call him a "little turkey." He thinks he's the Roomba for the kitchen floor... always on the lookout for any and all loose crumbs.

Rep Power: 2 | I love your kitchen, it is beautiful.
I love the fact that you don't have to go very far when unloading the dishwasher (my least favorite chore). My kitchen is also u-shaped and it is the biggest plus that I have found in there. | |

Love the stainless steel appliances! Having a small kitchen DOES have one advantage; Less floor area to have to sweep & mop!! | |

I can stand with my back to the sink, unload the DW, put everything away (except for the stuff that goes over the fridge) and put the dirty dishes from the sink in the DW without moving from that one spot. Makes fast and easy work of the job.
