People have a sort of idea of what they want, and they can look and look at all different types of their want, like in a kitchen design, but until they try it out, they really do not know if they are going to like it. There are a lot of techniques and styles to a kitchen, but everyone uses a kitchen slightly different.
Your parents had their idea of a kitchen, when you were on your own you had your idea of a kitchen, and you and your wife had an idea of how you each used a kitchen when living together, and pre smallsteps. Now you have a kitchen that is the result of all three of you, not just your ideas and needs but those of your family.
I am sure you will all enjoy the kitchen for a few more years to come.
