Opulenia: Buffet and Hutch? Tall Kitchen Cabinet?

I'm finding its hard to have a kitchen cabinet at a very limited space.  When we bought the house, the first question that I asked was the measurement of the kitchen.  I want to be prepared for the space.  Unfortunate for me, the kitchen is very small.  One of the things that popped in my head was to utilize every single wall of that kitchen but at the same time I don't want it to look cramp.  

The question now is..whether to get tall kitchen cabinet or buffet and hutch.  Tall cabinets serve more as in storage but if it wrongly designed, it would have cramped the area.  Most are done custom made to accommodate the space.  

Or would it be buffet and hutch?  Storage wise, it doesn't serve as much as tall cabinets, but  its cheaper, movable and not space consuming.

Teeny Tiny Kitchen..

The first time when I saw our kitchen floor plan, I felt a bit disturbed.  Its too small.  How could I fit in a breakfast nook, storage area and all the kitchen appliances in a 16' x 10' kitchen.  Until I found this floor plan from This Old House.

Nice!  However we would be having few problems to copycat this design...

Kitchen Work Triangle. Hmm..where should I put the fridge...

:

Windows.  Sigh. We only have 1 small window.

*sigh*

Anyhow, I adore the settings, the terracota tiles for the floorings and the breakfast nook.  Not really a fan of the counter top and the blue strip tiles, though.  However the kitchen looks so comfy and easy to organize.

Well, I may not be having my dream kitchen after all, BUT at least, with this tiny help, the kitchen will hopefully look pleasant and homey for the whole family.
