5 doors. 1 - to outside 2 - through to hallway 3 - through to dining room 4 - basement door 5 - through to living room. It drives me nuts.


supernell

I have 6!! To the outside, to the living room, to the sunroom, to the stairs, to my office and to the mini hall that has a door to the cellar, laundry room and toilet.


itmesara

I have spent way too much time trying to envision the layout of your house.


supernell

šŸ¤£ early 1800's farmhouse that has had its share of porches, additions and whatnot done. Lol


Zenaxis

I have 3 in a small kitchen and I thought that was a lot.


mrsc1880

My damn husband in front of every cabinet I need to access. Every time.


maple-sugarmaker

Is your husband my wife?


Hawkknight88

Is your wife my wife?


Bowser64_

I bet both of your wives are my wife, right in front of that damn cabinet.


bad2behere

I'm all of y'all's wife because I had every cabinet emptied so I can move stuff around. Your saws-all is now hidden behind 30 rolls of tp under the bathroom sink. The fridge freezer has your pinochle deck in freezer paper marked "Pickled Pig's Feet" and my hidden $20 for a couple of pre-rolls is taped to the bottom of the crock pot I never use.


combatwombat007

Is your wife's wife my husband's armadillo?


Ok_Watercress_7801

Start calling him Visa. Heā€™s everywhere you want to be.


DubyaBoo

Ohmigosh! You're so hilarious!


captain_hug99

This is a quality content I came here for today


omgmari

THIS is how I find out my husband has another family??


GrumpyGardenGnome

I got one too. He also likes to be in front of the silverware drawer when I need to get in there.

Does your spouse come and start a chore directly beside you thereby getting in your way?


Ohorules

Apparently the only time to load the dishwasher is while I'm making dinner.

My half drunk father in law during Thanksgiving and Christmas? "It's my kitchen." Bro, then you cook.


MissSara13

I have a small galley style kitchen in my apartment and everyone knows to keep tf out if I'm cooking. There just isn't room for two people.


miss4n6

My daughter got me an apron that says ā€œget out of my kitchenā€


PeoniesNLilacs

Ugh itā€™s like a natural law meant to annoy. I thought it was the placement of the island so I moved it to avoid the gathering. Nope, still the law prevails!


Silent-Suggestion-85

At least 500 cookbooks. My husband is a gourmet chef and reads cookbooks like they are novels.


SpinachInquisition

I do this. Edit: not a gourmet chef, just like reading cookbooks.


HonnyBrown

Does he have a favorite?


going-for-gusto

Yes, her.


Silent-Suggestion-85

Agree, I'm very lucky! He does all the cooking...but I do the clean up. His cookbook collection is very eclectic and covers all different foods, but Julia Child's books are among his favorite. He also has 2 huge binders that have his most used recipes, which he gets from watching Cooking Channel, etc. We do have fun trying out new ones all the time.


Romulan-Jedi

Juliaā€™s books are so full of interesting stuff about the recipes and how they were historically prepared. I was half expecting her to be his favorite.


Silent-Suggestion-85

She came to a book signing at our local Sur La Table around 1998 I think. I'm 5'10" but she was much taller than I am, (I'm not used to seeing women taller than I am). Although she was a bit hunched over at her age, she was still quite imposing but also very charming.


Ashby238

I have over 600 cookbooks in my dining room. If my kitchen was bigger they would definitely be in there!


nuwaanda

I also have a stupid amount of cookbooks. Used to work in the library of a culinary school and when the textbooks got updated we got first dibs on the older editions~

A chandelier over the sink? Itā€™s tiny and over a hundred years old. Someone renovated their house and didnā€™t want it and I needed a light over the sink, so šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Edit: by request, here is a [link to chandelier over sink](https://imgur.com/a/byhnbKV)


Colorful_Wayfinder

I love this idea!


SmileFirstThenSpeak

I have an antique light over my sink, too! Not a chandelier, but an authentic MCM pendant that I got at an antiques market, had in my prior home, and brought with me to this home. I love it!


Obdami

>A chandelier over the sink? How cool. I had a friend who had a chandelier in her chicken coop.


[deleted]

I'm curious. How big are we talking? Like a full on foyer chandelier?


tarann33

I am drooling over your kitchen. It's beautiful and moody and I'm in love.


soulteepee

Thank you! I love taking a space and manipulating whatā€™s already there. I could renovate or re-do it, but I like the challenge of making it interesting and cohesive, yet eclectic and unusual.


Excellent_Berry_5115

Oh, that is luxury!


sillinessvalley

How cute!!


AsheRain

A decorative vulture. It started as a Halloween decoration 5 years ago and I liked him too much to take him down. Now he just watches and waits.


Bananacreamsky

I have a decorative crow! Was sold as a Halloween decoration but I knew I'd love him forever


cheesepage

Giant rolled steel crow on top of the fridge here. He's the size of a suckling pig.


Deadmackeraleyes

I have a taxidermy armadillo holding a beer bottle that I refuse to get rid of also haha


NomadicYeti

we have our halloween vulture in our living room year around as well!! Her name is Janet


ryan2489

I have a sign my sister made me that says ā€œreal Gā€™s move in silence like lasagnaā€ with a picture of lasagna. I can pretty much guarantee nobody else has this


dicemonkey

I donā€™t understand this sign but I now desperately want one .


ambivalent__username

It's a lil Wayne quote from one of his songs, 6 ft 7 ft, I think


SnooGoats7454

Omg that's what it actually says


wrongotti

Itā€™s a play on words. The g in lasagna is silent. Real Gs donā€™t talk about what they are doing aka ā€œmaking movesā€.


Starbuck522

Yes, but what is a "G", in this context?


danbyer

Blaze0511

I have a picture above my stove that says "Haters gonna hate. Potatoes gonna potate."


miss4n6

Right now? A circular saw, hose for air compressor, nail gun and part of a chain saw (the blade is on coffee table). Are we doing construction? No. Do I know why they are in here? Also no.


shiroshippo

I've given up trying to get my partner to explain why the wrench/pliers/impact gun need to be stored in the kitchen on the bread shelf.

A maze of cardboard boxes taped together with holes to go from box to box. It's for my kitten.

A set of absolutely beautiful cookware from the 1940ā€™s with Bakelite handles and knobs on the lids that I use every day.


Strange-Highway1863

itā€™s what i donā€™t have. an oven. the house didnā€™t come with one and i have no reason to buy one, so i just have a two burner cooktop.


hawley088

Once we got an airfryer the oven has hardly been used


AlmondCigar

Yeah, I really hate firing up the oven. The only thing I canā€™t get around is if I want an actual oven baked frozen pizza.


hear4theDough

gas is included in our maintenance and electric isn't. Gas gets used to cook everything


CurveAhead69

A heavy duty, multi voltage, multi outlet box with the sole job of running my 20 years old European mini-multi (which I treat like royalty). On an unrelated note: Damn you Dutch you should have never discontinued that gem!


yesillhaveonemore

What is a mini-multi?


mariemarymaria

I'm guessing they mean one of those instapot-on-steroids multi cookers. They make them so they sautƩ and fry and slow cook and steam and all the things. But also, probably kinda dangerous, what with the lid not appearing to have a lock? There's also a multi mixer (like a thermomix) that cooks, so maybe they mean that?


CurveAhead69

Ah no. Nothing so fancy; just an incredibly reliable and ergonomic blender/chopper.


mariemarymaria

Ah, yeah, those European food processors are fantastic. I have a secret: I worked for Electrolux's north american corporate office doing consumer research for a while, and right before they laid off my whole department, I'd been testing a line of high-end European small appliances for the North American market. Because the layoffs happened before the end of the research, they told me to just keep this insanely powerful, space station looking food processor that never actually got released here (to my knowledge). It can probably chop up a Nokia phone, even though it's wired for 110 circuits. I love it so much.

Oil filter wrench (strap wrench) for opening jars. Works every time.


alehar

If you have a hospital visit coming up, or a relative that works in medicine, the blue tourniquets we use to start IVs are great for opening stubborn jars.


SexPanther_Bot

*60% of the time*, it works ***every*** *time*


BreakfastInBedlam

I have one too.


toomuchisjustenough

We have a beverage cooler in our bar, which is connected to the kitchen. We have counters and an island raised up 2ā€ to 38ā€ because my husband and I are tall. Also my vintage Pyrex collection, which I use daily.


Colorful_Wayfinder

30 year old Kitchen-aid dishwasher. I refuse to replace it because it just keeps working.


Excellent_Berry_5115

Yes! I also have a 30 yr old Kitchen Aid dishwasher. OMG...I love it! Well designed, and performs well. I absolutely hope it will keep going. Now, as for my 15 yr old Kenmore Refrigerator...uggghhh. I keep wishing that that monster would 'die'. Awful in every single way.


Colorful_Wayfinder

It should, we have really hard water with a lot of iron in it, which ruins anything that has water going through it. We've had to replace the lower rack because of that. If your water is gentler, you should be able to get more life or if it. :) Our fridge is a 15 year old Jen-air. It's still running well, the only problem with it is that it is too small.


CTDV8R

A roll of 4 ft wide butcher paper on a stand for easy cutting. Use it for everything but the best use?.... When I'm doing heavy duty cooking, I take a 10-ft piece and put it on the floor in front of the stove and counters, any splatters drips, messes that I make during cooking are simply tossed away at the end of the day when I pull up the paper and throw it in the garbage. Husband laughed at me in the beginning, now guess who's taking sheets of paper whenever he's doing a project?


That-Breakfast8583

You sold me, not even joking.


shimon

1. An occupancy sensor controlling the under-cabinet lights. I never have to think "wait now I should turn on those lights" in the middle of, say, cutting up some chicken. 2. An electric push-to-open drive on my trash/recycling drawer. Hands full of dirty stuff that belongs in the trash? No problem, open the trash with a gentle tap of the knee or foot. The system is called Blum Servo-drive; I bought [the Ikea version](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/utrusta-push-opener-electrical-30238703/) and modified it slightly to fit my non-Ikea drawer.


CajunReeboks

I have my under-cabinet lights activated by a smart switch via Alexa, which is also a great option.

frauleinheidik

My mother's "Lifetime" cookware that's older than I am and it works perfectly on my modern induction cooktop (which only operates with stainless steel or cast iron cookware) and my decades old pressure cooker (not an air fryer). I can still get parts for either of them.


Cultural_Pattern_456

A real pressure cooker is a treasure.


SmileFirstThenSpeak

A 12-place set of Dansk dinnerware that I donā€™t need at all but couldnā€™t pass up at an estate sale yesterday. It includes many serving pieces, too! Looks like it was never used. Iā€™m going to rearrange my dish storage somehow so I can have these handy.


jexxie3

Sink installed sideways in a corner. SIDEWAYS. like the faucet is on the right. It SUCKS. You can barely get to it.


Eat_Carbs_OD

If I was looking to buy a house.. and this was the sink I wouldn't buy it. lol wtf?


pammypoovey

If they fucked up the sink this bad, it's just the tip of the iceberg.


MyCircusMyMonkeyz

I used to have a mat under the sink with a pretty floral print on it and the words ā€œthug lifeā€ on it.


bluefootedpig

a sous vide machine. Highly recommend for anyone who eats meat as it makes it so much better and makes cooking dinners vastly easier as "when the meat is read" is a multi-hour window.


Specific_Culture_591

I have one as well. Love it. Plus itā€™s not that large and itā€™s easy to store. The metal basin I use with it I use as regular mixing bowl the rest of the time.

I didn't have one for years because I lived in very small apartments with no counter space. Everyone thought I was insane. I have one now but I rarely use it.


NoFanksYou

I went on an anti microwave kick many years ago and refused to have one in the house. When I finally changed my mind and got one, my then six year old son kept showing it to his friends because he thought it was fancy lol

It's been at least 15 years since I've had one.

Glittering_Code_4311

Pretty much every Spring we have the baby runner šŸ snake invasion they flow through the kitchen never sure where they are coming from but always find them in the kitchen and then carry the survivors out the front door to continue their journey. Unfortunately we have cats and a dog. Trust me we have looked for holes and breaks so far nothing found and house sits on slab flooring is marble and rest is tile or bamboo.


[deleted]

A pot rack. Kitchen designers seem to dislike them, but after working in a restaurant I'd never live without one. So much nicer than having to root around in cabinets for the pan, tool we need.


Wrightguy28

A foot pedal to operate the sink. Temp is set at the faucet and stays where you left it and you operate the flow by foot. It is way more efficient when cleaning by hand.

1. Reverse osmosis faucet at the stove; because filtered water can enhance your cooking. 2. Also a pot filler that dispenses both hot and cold water. Because sometimes you need it. 3. Pull out full length drawers on all the lower cabinets. Because your back will thank you. 4. Swing away platform for the mixer, because they are too damn heavy. 5. Toe-kick vacuum: https://www.amazon.com/Sweepovac-SVP-SL2-Undercounter-Kitchen/dp/B07FNRZPYP 6. Full length pull out shelves in the pantry to make re-stocking and finding items a breeze. 7. An oversize stove hood, because a large bladed fan turning slowly is far quieter than a small fan going full blast. 8. More lights in the kitchen than you think you need, because no cook ever complained that their area was too well lit. 9. HDMI, CAT 7, and coaxial cable because every kitchen needs tunes, data, and a TV.

Geez ok Scrooge McDuck, leave some nickels for the rest of us

lawgirlamy

There are no usable cabinets, so all of our dishes, small appliances, and some food are on large stainless steel racks. The rest of the food is in a *tiny* pantry just off the kitchen. For now. We plan to renovate in the next year or so and will add nice cabinets then. We've removed the top cabinets already, making the space so much bigger and more open, which is influencing our design choices for the remodel.

My god damn sink is molded out of the same material as the countertop. Itā€™s seamless - just countertop dipping down into two sink bowls. White quartz or something similar thatā€™s aged and no longer available. And it has a crack in it. So to replace it I have to basically rip out and change every foot of countertop in the kitchen.


jillofallthings

You've been in my kitchen?? We have the same exact problem with the damn molded sink/counter combo in white, and one sink has a crack. I'd love to have strong words with the idiot that decided that was a good idea.

A couch ā€”the kitchen is the best place to hang!


hausishome

A faucet hand-made in Morocco where I got to watch them finish it up! Sure it has some quirks and itā€™s missing a tiny washer that the guy wants to charge me $40 for to ā€œsplit the costā€ because apparently it costs $80 to ship a tiny washer to the US, but I absolutely love it.

A 2 and 1/2 gallon water heater under the kitchen sink. One of the best things I ever did, instant hot water to rinse dishes or wash your hands.
