1. Host with the most
You love a good dinner party. Your kitchen island always has family or friends seated around it while you’re putting the finishing touches on a meal, so naturally your pantry is always at the ready and full of ingredients for the perfect cocktails and crudités for your guests.
2. Fit for a chef
Your ideal kitchen is very much function over form. If you love — or live — to cook, you crave anything that increases efficiency and durability in your cooking space. Pot fillers, stainless steel countertops, warming drawers and foot pedal sinks make you feel like you’re working in the kitchen at a five-star restaurant.
3. Baker’s delight
Rolling, shaping, cutting, mixing — you’re elbow deep in flour. You have a stand mixer, baking sheets, flour duster and a roller at the ready on the counter to whip up a quick batch of cookies or pop in a pan of muffins in the oven.
4. On-the-go eating
Your life is all about busy-ness, not so much about eating at home. A peek in your fridge reveals pre-made meals and grab-and-go snacks for the week. Your cabinets are stashed with plastic storage containers and to-go cups and your walls have a message center to keep your schedule straight.
5. Cozy breakfast nook
It’s a fact of life — your morning coffee and bagel just taste better in the comfort of your breakfast nook. Your a.m. routine consists of a leisurely ritual that would be remiss without some cushy seating, good reading material and sunshine streaming through your windows.
