I would look around the kitchen trying to figure it out. What did I need. What would make life easier. Then, I had a child. Then 18 months later, I had another child. THEN a pandemic hit and I was stuck in the house with 2 under two and a husband all day. The small kitchen's issues were amplified. It seemed like I cooked all day everyday. Someone needed something. Toddler breakfast, adult breakfast, snack, lunch, baby foods, dinner...late night snack...all day. Cleaning after art projects. The kitchen really became the center of our home. Thanksgiving came. I constantly worried a pot handle would be knocked and hot food would land on a child running or walking by. A baby with a walker rolled into my foot while I was at the stove. It made me stop and look at how I could adjust the layout to make it safer for small children. No matter who lived in the home, if they had a small child, this would be an issue. Also, it was just annoying to have to step aside to let someone pass by. Then I got the opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to finally renovate my kitchen. Armed with a tape measure, the Internet, and my creativity, I got to work. My contractor was amazing. He took my plans and made them work. From moving an AC vent to running new electrical, he made it happen. I was able to move the stove from the walk way, added extra cabinets for storage, add a double oven, warming drawer and for the cherry on top, a pot filler. After everything started going in, I realized I needed new accessories. However, there was on accessory I could not find in a store, a kitchen table. Our space has an odd shape, the little breakfast nook wasn't really designed with a large family in mind. It was probably an after thought. The men who did our counters were able to make me a custom table top. I didn't have to buy a base, they fitted the top to fit around the small table I already had.
Bottom line, find a contractor you can trust and listens to you. One who knows how to get things done and has people who know what they are doing. The quality of materials, the care into following plans and creativity are what make a dream kitchen come true.
