My last house had a smaller kitchen than this house. I'd take the smaller
one any day as the layout was very efficient and it had loads of counter
space and cabinets in a "U" shape. Friend of mine had a 16 x 16 kitchen and
hated it. There were four doors (to dining room, basement steps,
pantry/bath, outside) The layout was terrible as the refrigerator and range
were across the room from the sink. Lots of long trips back and forth rather
than a step or two.
