We don't have running water and we cook outdoors, so we have more of a 'galley' than a kitchen, but here is ours.
Its mostly just a place to store things and a counter to hold the coffee pot. But it works very well for us.

this is ours. Running water in the warmer months, propane stove/oven and some nice kitchen cabinets we were given in trade for the labour to remove them.

Like cowracer, we don't cook inside and I have not yet hooked up the inside sink. My favorite thing is the cooler drawer! That was a challenge to design and build. I built all the cabinets at home and took them to the cabin to install. I should have measured the corner piece first as I had to take it partially apart to get it through the door! The mini cook kitchen is outside on the covered deck (no doors shown on the underside here - they came later). The propane stove slides out and in. The water plumbing and drinking water filter is under the cabinet.

Thanks! Counter top is just construction 2x wood. HomeDepot used their big saw to trim the edges square and I used glue, dowels and pocket screws to put the pieces together. Lots of sanding and finish and voila - cheap, nice looking counter top. I was worried about the winter temperature shifts (cabin is in Canada) but have not had any warping.

A sink would still be a good idea. Just install a small one and put a bucket in the cabinet under the drain pipe. Are you cooking? Using propane?
One critical thing is proper lighting. A single bulb in the middle of the room isn't enough. New LED lighting is very energy efficient so you could have a pin light over the sink, one over the stove, and another great option is to use LED tape lights underneath the front edge of the upper cabinets to illuminate the counters.

Found cabinets on CL for $75. Cleaned up, repainted. Lowe's countertop.
Still need to figure out what to do with stove. It's from an RV and doesn't exactly match. (Another CL find for $50)

Yep. I use these under mine with a dimmer. The “denser†versions do pull a lot of power (and really bright). The dimmer gives more flexibility.

Love the originality and thought that went into your design. Bringing the corrugated metal to the edge of the counter and cutting it with the sweep was brilliant. Thanks for sharing that.

Small, but used all space well.
To the right is an eating counter behind the triple windows, seats 3 easily.

Here are a few shots of ours. Not a ton of counterspace, but it works pretty well...

Used Ikea freestanding units from craigslist. We cook on portable butane burners that we store on the shelves and take down as needed. We keep the cooler on the porch. No running water. Sink unit has a 5 gallon bucket underneath to drain to. In the first picture you can see our freestanding Mustee shower stall in the background (to the right). We intentionally looked for freestanding units of everything because we had the shell built (by Owen Christensen) but are finishing the inside ourselves bit by bit.

First of the future kitchen cabinets. Still haven't decided on counter tops. If it ever quits snowing, I might be able to get them to the cabin.
