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  Are your appliances old and outdated?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The style of my appliances is old and outdated (24.4%)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

    We move alot and one house could have a huge kitchen and then next considerably smaller. Right now this is the case. Not enough cabinet storage to place all my toys!

    I just need to make time and organize my cluttered countertops. It's easier said than done with two toddlers running around all day. I think the main clutter problem we have is that we put all the things out of reach on the countertops that we don't want the kids to get. I also have a "junk drawer" in the kitchen that really should be cleaned out too. Maybe if we can clean that out, we can get rid of some of the counter clutter.

    I don't have enough cabinet space so chips and cereal and other stuff are piled on the counter tops leaving me no room for anything and looking really disorganized.

    I'm fortunate to have a large kitchen with lots of counter space..however I'm such a clutter bug with piles of mail, coupons and magazines all over.

    I have a decent sized kitchen and countertop area, however because the kitchen is the first place you enter that is where everything gets dropped, mail, newspapers, anything we bring home from work, and it seems like I just can't keep up with keeping the counters cleared. If some calls that they are coming over it is a desperate scramble to put everything somewhere out of site. We also do not have a dishwasher so it always seems that there are some type of dishes sitting on the counter, even if I wash dishes twice a day.

    I have a lot of counter space but with a house of 10 people, things from mail to toys usually dominate it. I usually get it cleaned off at least once a week but I can't keep up with everybody else.
