Around the Web

This week I’ve put together a collections of post from blogs I visit. It all happens to revolve around a Blue Theme. Enjoy.

Over on House Dazzle there is a lovely feature on Wiseman & Gale Interiors based in Scottsdale, AZ.

The Phoenix house is filled with colorful accents and a tasteful mix of pattern. The saturated blue on the island is amazing, don’t you think?

Marcus Design introduced me to the Chicago-based Residential Architectural firm Burns & Beyerl. I was immediately drawn to this “Urban Cabin” project. Another great use of pattern and color.

The architectural lines of this 4,000 square foot condo are kept open and clean. Terra cotta tile was selected to “warm the urban environment that it looks out upon.” The blue lacquered cabinet is my favorite detail.

If you’ve been dreaming if a summer getaway, perhaps you’ll enjoy checking out the recently revamped historic Chateau Guetsch hotel located in the Swiss Alps.

Décor Dose takes us on a luxurious tour featuring the work of celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. I love the playful pattern used on the walls and seating. I imagine this bar takes on a whole new feeling in the evening with the light softly glowing off the gilt ceiling.

Art meets fashion on Tory Daily, the blog by fashion designer Tory Burch. Here she posts a wonderful feature on Des Artistes, an eco-conscious line of conceptual tees created in collaboration with notable and emerging artists.

Kenmore Elite Ranges Recalled by Electrolux for Two Problems

Kenmore Elite ranges sold exclusively at Sears from May 2014 – April 2015 are being recalled for two hazards.

About 5,300 Sears Kenmore Elite stainless steel slide-in gas, electric and dual-fuel ranges, manufactured in the US and distributed by Electrolux Home Products Inc., of Charlotte, N.C. are being recalled due to a laceration hazard.

The stainless steel trim below the range control panel can have a sharp edge and potentially cut you. There is one report of a consumer getting stitches.

The recall includes the Elite slide-in gas ranges sold May 2014 through April 2015 with model numbers 790.32623xxx, 790.32633xxx, 790.32643xxx, Electric ranges with model numbers 790.42553xxx, 790.42563xxx, 790.42623xxx, and Dual Fuel ranges with model numbers 790.42603xxx and 790.42613xxx. Customers may identify the recalled ranges by locating the model number located on the inside frame of the range door to the left.

Kenmore Elite Recall 2015 | KitchAnn StyleThe second recall is more serious involves about 250 Sears Kenmore Elite Dual Fuel ranges that may allow the burner flame to go out while the gas is turned on. This can allow gas to escape posing a fire and burn hazard if the user attempts to reignite a flame.

The recall includes Kenmore stainless steel slide-in ranges with gas cooktops and electric ovens sold between June and October 2014 with model numbers 790.42603xxx with serial numbers ranging between AF42500601 through AF43000916 and model number 790.42613xxx with serial numbers ranging from AF42500541 through AF43103647.

If you own one of these affected appliances you should stop using it immediately and contact Sears for your free repair.

Customers with Kenmore Elite ranges posing a laceration hazard should contact Sears at 800-873-5011 and customers with recalled Kenmore Elite Dual Fuel Ranges should call 888-710-9284.

Sears has buried the Safety Notices on their website so I am providing the link here.
