I can only assume that Reon and TOH don't really use the kitchen. I can't imagine having nothing on the counters and having to go digging through cabinets to pull out the coffee machine or toaster oven.... or heading to the pantry to get oil when you need a splash in the pan you're cooking in.
Our kitchen goes as follows:
Desk area... piled high with wife and kid's crap. wall-end of penninnsula more junk, the toaster if not put away, crock pot if not put away, misc. bread type shit which won't fit in the pantry.... stove (two CIS stacked, tea kettle, S&P, and honey on the stove ), jar (with ladels, tongs, spider, spoons, wisks, etc), knife block, bowl in corner (containing who knows what), glass jars (holding metric ass-loads of k-cups), drying rack, sink, paper towel holder, keurig.
My kitchen is used for three meals a day, pretty much every day of the year. The stove is used every day. CIS used daily (why they are never put away), coffee maker used multiple times per day. Drying rack constantly full because we cook. Dishwasher run 2-3 times per day on the weekend.
