An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot.

Ask yourself a myriad of questions about your lifestyle (and that of your family), so it's as well to have as many of the answers ready as possible. Consider:

• who's going to be using the kitchen - is it just the cook or does everyone tend to congregate there?
• Do you keep pets who eat or sleep in the room?
• Do you need a table or will a breakfast bar suffice?
• More and more families are creating a living kitchen where there is not only a dining table but also some soft seating and a television.
• Would you consider building an extension or giving up a formal dining room to create a large kitchen/diner?
• What other tasks are undertaken in the room apart from cooking? Is it used for laundry, ironing, homework, entertaining?
