Question 6: What's your kitchen's mission?

What is your goal—to update or renovate? Is it realistic in terms of budgeting and time?
Do you prefer open or closed storage? Are you neat enough to let it all show?
Want to eat in? Would a table with chairs be best, or are you a more casual island-style family?
