We're going to hardwood in the kitchen as well, because we've had two tile floors crack out from under us and we're tired of it. The guy who did the second floor said he could fix that problem we had the first time, and his fell apart too, so, screw it.
I too would like a solid L transition from the counter to the backsplash, to avoid leaving a crevice for gook.
What I really want in my kitchen is more space, frankly. But given the layout of the house, that's basically impossible. Well, short of relocating the back door.
A really good spice rack would be nice. When I stayed with khallis over New Year's, I was in awe of the one he had made for the kitchen at the house he lives in. It's wonderful. (The full width is the depth of the refrigerator it's perpendicularly set against, and runs at least halfway down the side. Tons of space. Glorious.)
Heh. If I was redoing the kitchen, I'd install the counters level, and fit the sink into them properly, but that's just me snarking about the jackass who "remodelled" the house before we bought it. *sigh*
What I'd really like, but I think my wife would not care for, is taller counters. To include some sort of stand for the stove / dishwasher / etc. Even with a dishwasher, some things still need to be done by hand, and the combination of being 6'5" and having lumbar spine pain issues makes that a more onerous chore than one might otherwise expect.
Better lighting, from more sources. My kitchen has a stupid quantity of shadowed space. I want to be able to see when I'm cooking!
Ok, that's all I can think of for right this second. But I just woke up, too, so I'm sure there will be more later. ;)
