If your kitchen renovation or creation, makes it so that your kitchen is the center of all activity, then its nice to use your "kitchen toys" as accents and have them on display... a rack of cookware, a block of good quality knives.. or if that part scares you.. then have a good drawer or storage for your knives to keep them away from little ones. If you love to cook and entertain, you have to vision yourself in your kitchen and where you would like all your new toys to be stored.. so think that one through as you make your purchases, and treat yourself to good quality, it will last a good long time.
