Counter Intelligence


When I was looking for a new house, I did my due diligence in choosing a house that already had a great kitchen and that was a strong selling point for me... that, the great location and the large yard. Personally, the kitchen is one of the rooms where I typically spend most of my time, so a smart, well-designed kitchen with ample counter space is essential for me. I was fortunate in finding a house with a recently remodeled kitchen that wouldn't require much work to suit me.

I am a bit of a neat freak, so I like to have my counter top free of clutter and appliances that can be neatly tucked away when not in use, but also easily accessed. Right now, I have an appliance garage in the corner, which houses my Cuisinart Coffee Brew Station, Bullet blender for blending my daily protein shakes and a Cuisinart digital toaster. At the other end of my kitchen countertop I have a small LCD television where I can catch the Early Show and CNN, whilst I drink my coffee and plan the rest of my day. That's all I need on most days. Less frequently used kitchen appliances are stored under the counter and out of the way.

What do you have on your kitchen countertop?

I prefer simplicity on my desktops and countertops. If I could, I'd tuck everything away. It might even be cool to have my coffeemaker on a sort of dumbwaiter and have it disappear when not in use. :wah:

coffee makers make it look more warn and inviting.

Counter Intelligence



Id settle for a sliver of original intelligence.



Anyway counters...counters are important. Very useful for putting stuff on.

I concur, less is good. Bare essentials sans a couple of tasteful glazed containers. I think I will be adding a kitchen herb garden soon though.



Were tossing around the idea of making the granite plunge.
