Questions About Kitchens
By Country Living, on Wed Aug 13, 2008 9:42am PDT
QUESTION:I am building a new home in Paradise (Texas, that is), and the kitchen has me worried. Should I choose soapstone counters and natural-stain Shaker cabinets? What about flooring? I have a stainless sink and appliances. Or should I go with option 2: white Silestone (I wanted Carrara honed marble but understand the unsuitability), painted mossy-green cabinets and white tile with a black and gray border? The house is to look like bungalow ('20s or '30s). Can you tell me what you would use, and then maybe I can get some sleep at night! All can be changed except for the stainless appliances. I am definitely challenged when it comes to decorating but will always trust a pro.

By Andrea Frazer, Good Housekeeping, on Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:02am PDTThe first part of my title is pretty easy to decipher. But, for those of you not yet a member of the Captain Obvious Club, I’m talking about a penis that is opposite of the word "down".

Five tips to organize your refrigerator
By Epicurious.com, on Tue Jul 8, 2008 12:13pm PDTI'd like to discuss a fundamental food issue for all fridge owners: What to put where.

By Catherine Halley, Scrappy Girl Decorates, Domino, on Thu May 8, 2008 8:00am PDT
Susan Serra's been raising a lot of interesting issues re: the kitchen renovation. And she did this drawing. Think you can click here to see it full size.
She said:
When I look at the picture toward the window, what I get is a long/narrow/confined feeling. What I want to feel is the room more squared off, more wide. To give that feeling, I thought of a bench, and this IKEA one has storage in it.
Then, you could get a white table, narrow...maybe only 28" wide. Like this (paint the legs white) or this one, which you don't have to paint the legs white.
