Room Tours: Kitchen | Design with Dee

Welcome to the Heart of Our Home: the Kitchen!

Like most families, we spend a lot of time here. I try my best to make this room inviting and as pretty as any other room in the house.

The kitchen opens to our living room, which is great for entertaining. It allows us to socialize with guests while prepping for dinner.

My favorite feature in this kitchen, the enormous island! This gives me lots of space for food-prep and tons of storage for small appliances in the cabinets underneath. (Also, it’s a great area to decorate!)

Our kitchen has a great nook attached (read about how I restyled my Kitchen Nook here) with tons of windows to let in the afternoon sun!

The view is like a tree-house. Our house sits on top of a hill, so when we look out our windows, it’s like we are sitting in the trees! It’s beautiful when the snow falls in the winter and colorful when the leaves come in during the spring and change colors in the fall.

No kitchen is complete without a few small appliances. Here is a list of my must-haves!

PS. If you think you won’t know how to use an Instant Pot, type “Instant Pot Recipes” into Pinterest! There are so many delicious options listed with specific instructions.

Air Fryer: Another super convenient kitchen appliance! We use this guy every. single. day. It fries up any kind of food so quickly and without using any oil. I have no idea how this thing works, it might be magic, but it makes some amazing dishes!

Kitchen Aid Mixer: I’m pretty sure most people own one of these by now but I just wanted to share my love for it! I do not use this appliance very regularly but it really comes in handy for baking large quantities, especially around Christmas when I make a ton of cookies!

Mini Nespresso Machine: If you love coffee as much as I do, you need one of these for yourself! This little guy makes the most delicious and frothy cup of coffee! It’s easy and perfect for busy mornings!

Ninja Coffee Maker: Also a coffee favorite! This coffee maker makes a hot cup or carafe and also has an iced coffee option, perfect for summer mornings!
