I literally only have like 5 to 7 square feet of counter space once I subtract all the space taken up by small appliances, dish rack, etc.. It gets filled up fast when I am cooking.
And the kitchen is so tiny that there's no room for an island, and we don't have room for a kitchen table either. And we don't have a dining room, so we have to eat off trays in the living room. I have to carry all the plates, drinks, silverware out to the living room.
I was spoiled when I was out in California helping my mother fix up her new house. Her kitchen is massive with tons of counter space, and there's a dining room next to it with a counter/pass through where you can sit food, walk around and then grab it and place it on the table.
I also miss the 2 bathrooms she has in her house. "My" bathroom was original to the 1904 house and had a super cool claw foot tub, so I could soak my tired bones after 10 hours of construction work. She'd always ask me if I wanted to use her bathroom (with a shower), but I'd say "no, I love this claw foot tub, mom".
Ok, rant over.
