Small Kitchen Inspiration and Ideas

Small kitchen?  Me too.  Why is that a good thing?  Because everything is closer at hand!  I actually prefer a smaller kitchen to a large one because everything in my kitchen is at most 3 to 4 steps away.  We actually only have 3 drawers.  In a small kitchen the biggest challenge is adequate storage space and work surfaces.

I don't keep my cabinets tidy enough for open shelving, but they do make a space look larger because they allow line of site to the walls.

Another example of open shelves.  Also a work surface, either standalone or built-in that doubles as dining area is a great way to multipurpose.  We have a breakfast bar and a small butcher block island.

Loving these gray cabinets. We have a pegboard installed as well a'la Julia Child because we have so little cabinet and drawer space.
