Kitchen Week Wrap-up
I hope everyone enjoyed Kitchen Week (!) as much as I did. I covered so much material that I thought this would be as good a time as any to begin writing a weekly wrap-up. I hope this will help serve as a guide to quickly access the information covered during the week, and that it will help serve readers as a resource.
• I wrote a long post on kitchen cabinet options, including Gory (pictured above). They come in so many styles and price ranges it could make your head spin. The best place to start is to choose something that compliments the style of your home. Eco-friendly options include Lyptus, Neil Kelly and Crystal.
• Read design advice from kitchen design experts, Jim Morris and Susan Serra.
• Countertop materials include many choices other than the standard granite. They include: Silestone, options from 3-Form, and glass, concrete, soapstone, stainless, and Ice Stone.
• Sink and faucet options from Kohler.
• All about dishwashers.
‚Ä¢ Appliances! What’s new in cooking and refrigeration. Plus, the latest on retro fridges.
• New options on flooring, including creative vinyl tiles, and Marmoleum.
• Ceramic Tiles from Margaret Licha, Pewabic Pottery, Woven Wood, and Marlborough.
• A funny nightmare construction story from builder Steve Hulse.
‚Ä¢ Practical advice (and some cookbook recommendations) on knives and setting up a proper cook’s kitchen from Renaissance Man, Misterarthur.
‚Ä¢ And lighting styles from Tom Dixon, UNIK, and, Jos?© Esteves.
Of course, there are always my daily Chair of the Day posts. I’ll leave you to discover those on your own. My hand are tired from typing!
