Wishful Thinking : My Kitchen

I've spent the whole weekend in the magazine section of Borders again. I've started contemplating on a kitchen layout and design.

I'm not a good cook nor a food enthusiast, but I really want to have my own family-oriented, functional and clean cut kitchen. I think the kitchen is a place in the house that should be shared by the whole family. This is where everyone goes to first when they wake up in the morning (to eat breakfast or to drink water)and the last place they go to before they sleep at night (dinner or midnight snack).

So, I downloaded the IKEA kitchen designer software, and used it to draft my dream kitchen layout. I came up with a black & white theme classic kitchen. I've chosen a neutral color, nothing extraordinary, just to blend in with the contemporary theme of the other parts of the house. I'm posting it here.

I've also been reading the Home and Garden forum in Pinoyexchange and I am getting good tips and insights on the materials, costs, labor details, etc on kitchen renovation. Quite an impressive tool.

Now, I have to find a good carpenter to help me achieve this dream kitchen. I'll post updates here.
