If home is where the heart is, and the heart of the home is the kitchen, then it goes without saying that a quality kitchen is important. A kitchen’s value can be found in its practicality, functionality, design, relation to other spaces in the home, or all of the above.
From day-to-day use starting with that first cup of coffee to preparing dinner or a late-night snack at the end of the day, your kitchen has a big role to fill everyday of the year. But when the holidays roll around and you begin hosting loved ones for festive dinner parties and evening soirees, your kitchen has an even bigger responsibility to aid you in your entertaining duties.
We’re highlighting RSIR listings that boast kitchens that will serve you while you serve your guests this holiday season, so read on for some of the best spaces to eat, drink, and be merry and bright on Thanksgiving and beyond.
