@Blooie I'm guessing that the new kitchen is inspiring you.
I miss the kitchen that we had in the house in Wyoming. It had so much room to work and windows with sunlight. One of the new owners (it has been sold 3 times since we left) remodeled the kitchen and I don't like how it is set up now, but it was really nice.
The kitchen in our current 1930's farmhouse is small and dark. It has one window that is fairly big, but it faces north and is in the shadow of the oak tree and red-bud that is overgrown - so not much natural light and no direct sunlight. It has a neat feature of a lowered countertop area that would be nice for kneading bread and baking except it is made of maple flooring and the boards aren't glued together, it has 80 years of gunk that is pulled out by any dough you try to work on that surface. Gross. Also, the light above the kitchen sink doesn't work so that doesn't help.
