@Patricia As I see it a kitchen got #storages and #surfaces.

Some surfaces you want permanent, and you usually got fairly fixed utensils there. Which depends on what you use the kitchen for. Could be making coffee, baking, playing go, whatever.

Other surfaces are more transient, you need them once in a while, and stow them away at other times (see storages).

Eating surfaces can be persistent and/or transient (e.g. guests), just like cooking/doing surfaces.
