Ditto on the deep cabinet cupboards. Stuff gets lost in there and it is impossible to really store things in a way so you can reach them without taking out half of the contents. I have an L shaped countertop with this vast space under part of it (and three different cabinet doors open into it) and can only really use the front edge of one side of the shelves very easily.

I want a good-sized walk-in pantry with open shelves all around so I can see the canned goods and the packages and I can put the various appliances on their shelves for easy retrieval when I need them.

I want a color of floor tile so that something is dropped on it it doesn't disappear into the busy pattern that the builders of this house selected. Every so often here you'll see one of us down on the floor with an eye scanning the surface trying to find a dropped pill or screw. This middle-eastern mosaic look tile is pretty, but never again.

I want a deeper window sill so I can put a few plants on it.

I have a double sink, I find it annoying. I'd do it differently next time. The idea of two sinks sounds good.

I know a few guys who are excellent cooks, so this thread certainly should be open to all cooks.

SRS, (who has also given this a lot of thought, but who finds the vast dollars spent on kitchen conversions on television programs to be obscene).
