What is the biggest barrier to bringing guests into your kitchen?

The kitchen is the room where everyone ends up gathering at social events, so we always want the kitchen to be a pleasant place to be.  What drives you crazy about your kitchen?  Is it never quite clean enough?  Are your appliances old and outdated?  Are your counters a mess? 

What little things would you want to change about your kitchen to make you eager to bring guests there?  We want to know!

I'm embarrassed by my cluttered countertops (54.5%)

The style of my appliances is old and outdated (24.4%)

My appliances look bulky and take up too much space (11.8%)

My kitchen is filthy (9.3%)

    I actually have a lot of counterspace, but no matter how hard I try, I never seem to have space to prepare meals. The coffeemaker and toaster oven take up too much space. But I use those appliances a lot so I have to keep them on the counter.

    With my grandchildren living with me, my countertops stay cluttered. One keeping sippycups or whatever other toys he wants to put up there and the other with all her straws and things that "has" to be in her reach, not to mention the appliances and canisters!!

    I had major plumbing, new countertops,cabinets, new dishwasher installed a year ago. I still have more major work like floors, etc. to go.

    I have a very small kitchen with little to no counter space and my appliances are very big and bulky.

    Sadly I have less than 8 sq ft of counter space, so there are always things piled and tossed on the counters.

    I wish I could have more and more cabinets and a bigger pantry

    I'm very lucky to have lots of counter top space, but its always full of mail, cell phone chargers, cookbooks, etc. The stuff that I can't seem to find a home for...

    My apartment was built in the 60s/70s, and the cramped countertops and ugly faux marble veneer reflect that. It's clean, but so ugly I don't want anyone in there, even if there was room. Just two people in there is awkward.
