Kitchen Layouts: Clear off that kitchen counter
http://kitchenlayouts.blogspot.com/2008/06/clear-off-that-kitchen-counter.html
Sunday, June 22, 2008. Clear off that kitchen counter. Not necessarily ALL the counters, but clearing everything off the stretch of kitchen counter you use most for prep and baking makes a big difference in how easy it is to work. It makes for less cleaning, too, when you don’t have to wipe spatters off half a dozen doodads sitting at the back of the counter! Try an under-cabinet mounted version to get it off the counter. Once you have a clean sweep of counter to work on, you’ll cherish it.

Involving more appliances (extra sink, dishwasher(s), separate cooktop and oven(s), microwave oven, etc.) have more potential work stations which the triangle can't account for.

Friday, July 11, 2008. Laundry in the Kitchen. Most North American kitchens don't include laundry facilities, but there are some good reasons why you might consider including them in your kitchen design. Do you have a kitchen laundry? Would you have one? Why or why not? Were thinking of combining our kitchen with what is now the laundry room. Will be a much better flow and will add needed room to the cramped kitchen.

Thursday, June 19, 2008. The hands-down best way to light your counter work areas any place you have wall cabinets mounted over them, is with under-cabinet lighting. It's a wonderful thing to have light shining right onto your cutting board, instead of standing in your own shadow! You can do this several different ways, and there are more choices becoming available all the time. here are some ideas:. Not energy-efficient, either. Right now, I'd say go with LEDs if you can afford to, otherwise fluorescent...

http://kitchenlayouts.blogspot.com/2008/06/should-you-include-waste-disposal-in.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. Should you include a waste disposal in your kitchen? Waste disposals (garburators, waste disposers) have pros and cons. Not everyone needs or wants one. Easy disposal of food waste. No bad smelling garbage or compost container. Waste containers can be smaller. Note: properly managed compost and garbage containers don't have to smell.

http://kitchenlayouts.blogspot.com/2008/06/where-to-store-kitchen-ladder.html
Sunday, June 1, 2008. Where to store the kitchen ladder. Unless you're unusually tall, there will be kitchen storage areas that are out of reach. If you're short like me, lots of things are out of reach! That's when the kitchen ladder or step stool comes in handy. Where to store it when it's not in use, though? It's an awkward kind of shape. Here are some ideas:. A slim ladder can fit in a narrow slot beside the fridge. Mine needs about 1.5" of space. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Kitchen Layouts: "Low maintenance" kitchen materials: Stainless Steel and Granite?
http://kitchenlayouts.blogspot.com/2008/06/maintenance-kitchen-materials-stainless.html
Thursday, July 3, 2008. Low maintenance kitchen materials: Stainless Steel and Granite? Stainless steel and granite tend to be touted as very tough materials which will last a lifetime. And they probably are. That doesn't mean they are "low maintenance", though, if by that you mean what a normal person would mean - i.e. that they don't need to be cleaned and babied and titivated unnecessarily often, and have special care taken of them. Apparently not. Granite and other stones need to be sealed after ...
