Welcome to Orchidboard!

The most common reason a Phal won't reflower is not enough light. You say you kept in in a light kitchen, but what is the orientation? And how far from the window was it? While a spot away a couple meters from the window may look bring to our eyes, light levels drop off dramatically the further you get and for a plant it's like sitting in darkness.

Find a spot for it that is near a bright window, take good care of it, and then comes the hard part : patience! I'm assuming that your plant is one of the usualy winter blooming types, so don't expect to see a flower stem until september or october at the earliest.

I'd also recommend switching to a liquid orchid fertilizer that you add to the water regularily (many people fertilize with a week dose nearly every watering). An occasional misting with a foliar feed doesn't sound like much, and with their thick, hard texture, most orchids don't readily absorb nutrients via their leaves.
