Over the past year and a half we have all been spending more time at home. For some it is more than we ever have in the past. The time has perhaps prompted us to minimize our belongings, organize our wardrobe or make our homes cozier. We think the kitchen is truly the heart of the home (perhaps we are a bit bias.) The kitchen table is a place where friends and families gather to share meals and have important conversations. We think the kitchen operates like the brain of the home. How does your kitchen feel? Is it a place you want to spend time nourishing your body and those of your loved ones? While the new year is still fresh and we are ready for change, it may be time to examine the elements of your kitchen, is it performing like it should?
