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  Are your appliances old and outdated?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The style of my appliances is old and outdated (24.4%)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

    For some odd reason everything ends up on the counter..Before guest arrive we frantically shove papers in drawers and dishes into dishwasher.. only if there was a magic button!

    I have lots of countertop space and cabinets, But like most, it's hard to keep it uncluttered. You'll find it on the table or counter . Then it rotates to the washer and dryer before back to the counter. I Hate Junk!

    My stove is 59 years old and still running strong. It looks the worse for wear in some areas but I don't have the heart to get rid of it. At least not yet......

    My kitchen is big enough clutter free but my kitchen is soooo out of date some appliances are new some are old not much money avaliable due to medical bills for my 11 year old who was diaginosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 3. I guess kitchen can wait.

    Our kitchen is a decent size but it's a very awkard space. I would like to remodel to have more counter space and an island for both my husband and myself to work together @ one time. Be blessed everyone!

    Too much clutter! It is mostly due to cooking and not having enough cabinets to fit all my the appliances that are now using up the counter space.
