Start by replacing the windows, so you get some practice.

That's so obvious I don't know why I didn't think of it. ..Thanks..:0)

        Ask any group of women and they will say more space is always
better. If you don't need to room for something else, I would not
take them out.

        If you ever go to sell the house, you will find out that it is
usually the wife who makes the final decision on a new home and the
kitchen is a large part of what they consider when making a choice.

Reducing storage space, especially in a kitchen, is always a non-seller.
Just because you probably don't cook, (microwave and such excepted) doesnt
mean a buyer wants to live that way.

When purchasing our house, i walked out of 3 without bothering to LOOK at
any other rooms. Inadequate 'cute' kitchens. One idiot had removed the
real stove, put in a trash compacter, and a microwave (situated so high it
was over my head and couldnt see in it). He did it to 'sell the place'.

Ok, so not planning to sell? If you plan to leave it to kids or have it
sold as part of the inheritance you want them to get, you just reduced it.
