1 If I ever get the chance to build my dream home I think my first wish would be to have a nice sized window to bring in natural light above the kitchen workstation. Built-in sconces or a lamp would create perfect additional lighting for the evenings:

2 If you don't have the opportunity to look out of a beautiful window, creating visual interest with a bulletin board is a nice alternative. It's pretty and it's practical!

3 A statement chair really adds omph to this corner of an overly 'utilitarian' space, and I'm loving the gorgeous Alexandra quatrefoil chair from Suzanne Kasler's line:
4 I love the idea of organization through small drawers or cubbies. Wouldn't it be fun to designate a mail/homework cubby for each family member, each labelled with a custom silhouette like the ones below?
Do you have a kitchen workstation? Does yours happen to incorporate any of these features? Any ideas I missed? I'd love to hear!

So much kitchen/desk eye candy here...Thanks as allways, for digging up these gems for me!
I love working in my kitchen as well! But I do wish my space looked more like the one with the little pup under the desk ;) Too cute!
I have the back of my desk area painted black magnetic paint but now I am inspired to do that rockin nailhead look! Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE that nailhead bulletin board, how fab is that? Congrats on your school work, must be SUCH a relief! XX
Great examples of kitchen workstations, Nancy, but, YOUR kitchen desk area is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. You should have included it in your post!
Have a wonderful Monday,

Beautiful round-up Nancy. Love each and every one of these. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Cheers!
Gorgeous ideas! I love the idea of a workstation in the kitchen- and all your inspiration is just divine! Great post lovely.

what a great idea! i've never seen this before but if i could build my dream kitchen, i'd definitely incorporate one too :) xx
So many great ideas here! Wish I had the space to have one in my own kitchen. I just pull up a bar stool right now if I need it, but would love a designated spot.
All of these desks are so inspirational. Hopefully, in my next house I will have room for one!

I am digging that bulletin board with the nailhead detail. Great idea! Oh, and I would take the dogs in the photos too.
A kitchen work station doesn't work for me! These all look so pretty but mine always looked like a big pile of paper and junk! Everything would end up on that counter space so when we renovated our kitchen I got rid of it and gained more pantry space. Now my office is the junk pile but at least I can shut the door:)

Love all the photos. makes me what to create a new spot in my kitchen!
Oh I wish our desk in our kitchen looked like one of those ......... Hubby has a tv in the kitchen and it takes over the whole space of the desk. Ugliness ........ he doesn't watch it enough to justify it so hopefully I can take it down sooner than later.
So many great ideas. I wish I had one. Hopefully my next house.
I could definitely use a workstation/organization area in our kitchen. It's a pretty big room, but half of it is pretty much empty and unused - I'd love to add cabinetry along the empty wall with all the elements that you mentioned :-)
I especially love the workstations with windows - although I'd probably spend most of my time gazing out the window and NOT working ;-)
