My Dream Kitchen

Have you ever walked into your kitchen and just wished you could blink it away? This is how I feel about my kitchen. If I could, I think I'd blink these in its place...

or

or, this house, which happens to be my dream home has an awesome kitchen...

Here's a picture of a kitchen similar to ours. Ours is all oak cabinets and no pass through and a lot less light, but similar in size. Also, when you look at this photo, picture in your mind's eye a pile of dirty dishes in the sink, (cuz as all those who know me know that I would rather do anything than do the dishes) and more clutter on the counters.

Being a renter, there's not a whole lot I can do as far as renovations go but I guess organizing and keeping it clean and clutter free goes a long way, I should give those a try. If anybody has any organizing tips please let me know cuz what we got going doesn't work for our little tiny space.
