Details of a French Country Kitchen DesignYou can capture the beauty of Aix-en-Provence in a single room, feel connected to nature and civility all at once, and sense the nostalgia for the past that still lingers in France. But how can you really know where to begin when remodeling a kitchen to be French Country? I will aim to answer the question with pictures and examples, what is the essence of French Country? How The Right Lighting Can Make Your Kitchen Come AliveIt used to be that kitchens were places reserved solely for food preparation, off limits to guests and family members alike. Food was served at a set time in a separate room, and whatever magic went into making it was a mystery to the people eating it. But the modern American kitchen is a very different one. With our busy schedules, and a steadily increasing number of homes with both parents working, it can be hard to find time to share at all - let alone time to prep and cook big meals in isolation to preserve the big reveal at dinnertime. This shift is reflected in the changing style of kitchens,... No More Sink Woes! Sink Fixtures Can Change How You Feel in Your KitchenHave you been splashing water on the floor so much the linoleum is starting to warp? Do you find yourself calling the plumber twice a week and facing his judgmental glare? It´s not you. It´s the sink. And don´t worry. There´s a way out... Rustic Cottage Design For A Truly Comfortable KitchenKitchen remodels have always been the strangest ones for me. You see, I really love to cook, but cooking is messy, and splattering spaghetti sauce on a kitchen that otherwise looks like it belongs in a magazine doesn´t quite sit right with me. A few years back, a relative of mine did a whole kitchen remodel - Viking appliances, granite counter tops, and beautiful cherry woodwork. It looked so pretty when it was all done that no one wanted to spoil it by using it. That´s why I prefer a slightly more rustic farmhouse or cottage style kitchen - a room that focuses on simple elegance and functionality rather than pomp and circumstance.
