Home Appliances

Whether you are redesigning your kitchen or are just in the dreaming stages, there are a LOT of decisions to be made. It’s been 18 months since we completely renovated our kitchen – basically moved it down and totally reconfigured – and I wanted to share our FAVORITE family-friendly kitchen features… all the things we would choose again, without question, as a family of six.
I also answered 45 questions I received about our kitchen, that you can find here on my site.
With that, let’s dive into all features that help us live life a little easier!
In my opinion, you’ll never regret buying quality appliances with a timeless look, that are completely designed around being functional for your family. Bosch designs high quality, “Invented for Life” home appliances to help simplify everyday life in the home. Since you use your appliances multiple times a day, it’s important to get something that you LOVE.
Here are some of the simple solutions built right into our Bosch kitchen suite:
The Fridge
WOW! Bosch recently sent us their NEW 800 Series French door bottom mount refrigerator and it is AMAZING! We previously owned a Bosch refrigerator, but the newest 800 Series was completely redesigned from the ground up and includes so many thoughtful details that we love!
I’d say there’s a lot of space in this fridge.
The freezer is AMAZING too! Three shelves for maximum storage + maximum visibility.
The Drawer Microwave
I LIVE for a good microwave but don’t love the look of one over the range or sitting on the counter. So we chose the Bosch 800 series drawer microwave, and it’s been perfect! A few of my favorite things…
The Dishwasher
There are tons of features that make our Bosch dishwasher – the 100 Series – perfect for our fam.
Our Range
Full disclosure, I was nervous that I’d miss having a double oven as we had one pre-renovation. And I’m happy to share that I haven’t missed it one bit! So many great features on the Bosch 800 Series dual-fuel range:
Wider Walkways
Our original plans had 36″ walkways between the cabinets and the island. At the last minute, we switched them to 42″ and I recommend that wholeheartedly to anyone in the design phase!
Sink in the Island
Some people love a big clean island, but I personally love having our sink and the dishwasher in the island so that we can converse with the kids when they’re at the island + keep an eye on them when they’re watching T.V.
Range Hood
Not only do I like the look of a range hood, but not putting the microwave over the oven means the older kids are able to access the microwave without having to reach over the oven.
Appliance Garage
This is another feature we’re VERY close to being able to utilize when the kids are a tad older… the appliance garage houses our toaster and coffee maker. Since they’re out and ready, the kids will be able to make their own toast or start me a cup of coffee.
Thicker Mitered Countertop in the Island
Ok, maybe this has nothing to do with being family-friendly, but I do think it looks really nice.
I hope this family-friendly kitchen tour is helpful for planning YOUR dream home. Learn more about my Bosch kitchen below and be sure to follow along on my adventure in motherhood!
