I lust over kitchens all day long online. I look at pictures on Instagram, home blogs, and especially Pinterest. I keep hoping to myself that one day, I’ll be able to create my very own American Kitchen. It seems as if that day might be a while for my DH and me, but hey, a girl can dream. Everyone has their own idea of an American Kitchen, but mine would definitely be functional and sleek. I want it to be clean with splashes of color, inviting to the eye, and up to date with the most modern appliances. GE Appliances creates products that suit everyone’s dream, whether they want something more vintage looking or something more industrial.  Since 1905, they have understood that creating a kitchen is about customization because no two families are the same. They’ve been doing this for 110 years, so must be doing it right! The kitchen is the heart of the home. I spend most of my time in there, so I want it to be as comfortable as possible. That’s actually why I’m considering moving in May when our lease is up. I need a bigger kitchen! Our current kitchen is teeny and I just can’t deal with it anymore. I’m running out of counter space and I dream of having an open layout, where I can be included with our guests while preparing food at the same time. I would rather live in a place where the kitchen takes up the entire downstairs. How fabulous would that be? There is a documentary series called Our American Kitchen that explores how real GE Appliance owners are living their lives. What common themes are found in the kitchen that we all want? Are there a lot of differences between the needs in a kitchen? How do families vary with their kitchen space? People use their kitchens for all sorts of things, from work to leisure. Some use it to escape from their troubles (That’s me! My kitchen is my stress reliever!), while others use the kitchen to bring their family closer together through sharing recipes and meals. You can check out the documentary here.  I’m pretty sure we can all agree when I say that there is no “home” without a kitchen. What role does the kitchen play in your home?
