Oh, and...

A small kitchen is actually very nice - less to clean, for one thing. And you don't have to constantly wander to the other side of the room to find something....

I love my big kitchen, really, but it actually can be *too* big. I want to take out some of the cabinets, things just collect in the back... like "honey, why is there a flowerpot in with the canning supplies?"

Plus, I discovered when we moved to The Big Kitchen that my beloved DH can't comprehend that when you carry dripping things across the room, it gets the floor messy. He's otherwise a very smart guy, so what the f*#&? How does he NOT SEE THIS???

I end up following him around with a sponge, wiping up the floor and muttering obscenities.....
