A Very Scary Moment in a Dark Alley: Trashing a Disney Princess Kitchen | The Still Room
I was scooting through my apartment building s basement (a wonder in systems and architecture) on my way to pick up a package at the Super s Office. My path crosses an alleyway in our complex where trash is collected prior to moving out onto the street, and I saw this terrifying object!! Horror! Run away! What are you supposed to make in this kitchen roasted unicorn? Disney Princess Kitchen in the trash. Good riddance. RL Fifield photo 2013. This is the set I had! Photo: Sewing on the edge Blog. I was frozen in terror. A Disney Princess kitchen set. Not only does little girl get to learn household roles, she gets to feel like she s engaging in a precious, pink activity while doing it (am I reaffirming gender stereotypes myself here by assuming this didn t belong to a boy?).

Kitchen Cupboard Paint Colors | eHow
White and other light tones are a classic choice for kitchen cabinets, and have the advantage of making spaces look bigger. Country-style kitchens can benefit from white cabinets. However, in a kitchen where the walls are already white, cabinets that are too pale may fade into the background. White cupboards in a spacious kitchen can make the room feel barnlike and echoing. In these cases, consider painting the walls a darker tone first, or tint the paint with another color to provide visual interest. Another traditional kitchen color, yellow is valued for its warm feeling and works well in rooms that don't get much natural sunlight. According to Better Homes and Gardens, yellow creates a warm, welcoming kitchen and is best used in dark kitchens or kitchens positioned on the north side of the home. Yellow blends in well with wood tones and a number of other colors, so it may work well with existing d cor. Choose pale or muted yellows and ... Read more » |

Kitchen Radiators and Heating Options
Kitchen heating wasn't a really problem in the dim and distant past since the kitchen would be used for cooking and the oven or stove would warm the room up, making radiators unnecessary. But increasingly the kitchen is used as a family centre, particularly if it is a kitchen diner, and of course the oven isn’t used so much with microwave meals and convection ovens that put less heat out into the room. So trying to fit a radiator into a kitchen has become more of a priority. Radiators are problematic in a kitchen though. The larger the room, the larger the radiator and the more space has to be given over to it. Radiator positioning often puts limits on kitchen design because moving them is a tricky job, involving the repositioning of the inlet and outlet pipes. But there are some advances in heating technology that can help out. Underfloor Heating for KitchensThe first, best and most expensive is under ... Read more » |

DIY Kitchen Chalkboard
When we built the cabinet around the refrigerator it not only gave the area a nice built-in look but it also left us with a giant blank canvas on the adjacent wall. Honestly, from the time we drew up the layout of our new kitchen, I had it set in my mind what that blank space would be. We DIYed a floor to ceiling chalkboard wall with a painted calendar in our first house and I have been dying to have some chalkboard back in my life. Insert, our new chalkboard wall We started by priming the area with a few coats of Rust-Oleum s magnetic primer so the chalkboard would double as a magnet board. I know as the girls get older they will be loving this space to chalk on and play with their magnetic letters. Speaking of, how cute are these stainless steel letters from Pottery Barn? Must have. We followed with three coats of Valspar s Chalkboard Paint in a basic black and she was ready for chalking. Well, almost. You know how we love our built-ins, so ... Read more » |
