#Piano into kitchen island- designing drawers and storage. *video* - Victoria Elizabeth Barnes

If you don t want to read all of my precious words, skip to the video at the end. It explains this entire post in fifty seconds.

BUILDING DRAWERS / PROJECT OVERVIEW:

1. Considering the piano s structure.

2. Designing the drawers.

3. Storage inside the piano.

4. Storage under the piano.

1. Considering the piano s structure.

The piano is not just a flimsy shell… it has a thick, curved wood piece called the pinblock: it supported the harp and acted as an attachment for the strings.

In the photo below, in the left/back corner, (where the curve is most prominent,) we notched out one part to get the corner of a drawer a little bit further in.

Cutting the pinblock out entirely would give us more drawer space, but for what we want to do (top the piano with marble ,) structurally, that curved ... Read more »

#Kitchen Tool School: The Indispensable Stainless Steel Locking Tongs

Behind many professional stoves, tongs are pooh-poohed as bad technique, a lazy and even disrespectful way of cooking. But the truth is that tongs are advantageous for just about anything you'd do in a home kitchen.

Turn to tongs for stir-frying noodles, dressing salads, flipping steaks without puncturing them, pulling hot dogs out of a beer bath, roasting vegetables over a flame, even coaxing out bread that's been stuck in a toaster. Note that all kitchen tongs are not created equal, though. If you're looking for a new pair, OXO is a great place to start, particularly with its Good Grips 9-inch tongs. which cost $12. They're solidly constructed, with non-slip grips, a pull-tab lock, scalloped edges, and even thumb rests, so you're comfortable holding onto them for long periods of time. The lock has a hole in it for hanging (or try storing them in a drawer this way for maximum space). The shorter ... Read more »

#Planning an Outdoor Kitchen

Why do bad outdoor kitchens happen to good people? It’s a question I ask myself every time I walk around otherwise gorgeous residential landscapes and see poorly planned grill islands, view-obscuring pizza ovens, and homely rows of unnecessary appliances. It’s a question I ask myself when I stand in front of the grill at my own family’s vacation house and can’t find a place to put a spatula, let alone a plate of food. I’ve seen enough bad outdoor kitchens that they now fall into recognizable categories for me, including something I call the Mushroom, that oversize island that looks like it appeared suddenly after a heavy rain; the Utterly Inadequate, which is epitomized by my family’s Weber standing all by itself on our big back terrace; and the Full Vegas, a category that doesn’t really need an explanation, except that the words “retractable television” are often involved.

#Planning a kitchen extension

Planning a kitchen extension

First things first

You’ll be throwing a fair bit of cash at this project and the last thing you want is to make an expensive mistake so before you begin you need to do some serious thinking. Ask yourself how you plan to use the space:

Do you want a more flexible space for the family to enjoy?

Do you want a space for entertaining?

Do you want a separate utility room?

Do you want to bring the outside in with doors opening on to the garden?

Do you want a dining table as well as informal seating, say a breakfast bar or sofas?

As well as considering the here and now think about 5-10 years down the line and the changing dynamics of your family. While play space may be important now, in a few years’ time it’s homework and hangout space they’ll be after.

#Planning Your Layout

The layout of your kitchen is by far the most important aspect of any project and needs to be finalised before any decisions are made about materials, fixtures or fittings.

Depending on your budget and the existing configuration of the rest of your home, you may have the option of removing a wall to create a larger kitchen-diner or single, open-plan living area. You could also consider removing a chimney breast to maximise floor space.

The starting point for most design is still the classic ‘wrap around’ kitchen which follows the perimeter of the room, but nowadays it often takes the form of an ‘L’ or ‘U’ shape, and features a modern island unit where space allows. However, in narrow spaces, the galley kitchen is still a practical choice, with two parallel counters and plenty of storage space to keep everything within easy reach.

The positioning of your hob, sink and fridge can make all the difference to the way your kitchen works, crea ... Read more »

#Professional Organizer Beth Zeigler s 3 Quick Ways To Organize Your Kitchen

Do things constantly seem to go missing in your kitchen? You swore you bought paprika last month… and where's that Tupperware lid when you need it? Beth Zeigler, professional organizer and founder of the organizing service Bneato Bar. says there's a reason our kitchen cabinets get so messy.

"You can't see what's in there," Zeigler explains. "Things get hidden behind other things, and if you're not using containers to keep it all together, they just get lost."

In the above #OWNSHOW video, she goes over three areas of the kitchen where you can quickly get cleaned up.

1. Maximize Your Pantry When Zeigler organizes a kitchen pantry, she creates extra storage space by using shelf risers and pull-out drawers. "Also, a lazy Susan – you usually see those on the dining room table, but I will put those in a cabinet and it really makes the space useable."

#Portable Kitchen Grills: built for the long smoke

PK Grills carries on a LR summertime tradition.

Let's hear it for the permanent things, or at least those things designed before anybody came up with the hateful idea of "planned obsolescence." Zippo lighter? Great-Grandpa could carry one through The War, pass it on to his kid, who could pass it on to his kid, who could still be lighting stuff on fire with it in 2012. Case Knife? As long as you wipe the apple juice off the blade, run it over a whetstone every once in awhile and don't misplace it, it'll be with you to the Gates of Hades and back.

There's a product like that here in Little Rock, and it's plugged directly into the heart of summer: the Portable Kitchen grill. If this sounds like an advertisement, it kinda is, though not of the paid variety. Call it more the barbaric yawp of an outdoor grilling aficionado who has had the bottom rust out of more cheapo charcoal grills that I'd care to remember.

Portable trolley and storage rails in a comapct kitchen

While we all covet a large and sociable kitchen-diner. with room for an island, large range cooker, and a dining table to cram guests around, the reality is that sometimes it s a case of making the most of what you have in this case, a poky kitchen. But diminutive doesn t have to mean drab (like Rachel Khoo s adorable Parisian kitchen). There s a wealth of clever ways to make your scheme feel spacious:

Rethink storage

Wall cabinets can really encroach on space, so consider doing away with yours. Open shelving can make a huge impact in a small space because it creates a more airy, less cramped environment than cabinets. But don t store everything except the kitchen sink up there limit the amount of shelves you use, and what you keep on them.If there are too many items cluttering up the worktops, consider clever solutions ...

#Quotes about food: Kitchen Food Quotes

In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men s underwear.

The taste of the Kitchen is better than the smell.

Thomas Fuller

A man who loves good food has a way of making it gravitate toward his kitchen.

Angelo Pellegrini, The Unprejudiced Palate (1948)

A good kitchen should be sufficiently remote from the principal apartments of the house, that the members, visitors, or guests of the family, may not perceive the odour incident to cooking. or hear the noise of culinary operations.

Mrs. Isabella Beeton, Book of Household Management , 1861

We owe much to the fruitful meditation of our sages, but a sane view of life is, after all, elaborated mainly in the kitchen.
