Fifty Fifty Kitchen Concept

Fifty Fifty Room Divider Storage |KitchAnn Style

I came across this interesting room divider, called Fifty Fifty from Florida, an Italian manufacturer. This creative collection of kitchen components and furniture centers on a bookcase room divider with a dining table that slides to create seating or extra work space in the kitchen.

The table comes in incremental sizes from 162 to 272 cm in length or about 63.75″ to 107″. When not in use, the kitchen extension can be retracted and you can’t even tell it’s there.

Versatility is very important in kitchen design. The freedom to adapt our surroundings based on the task at hand makes living easier and isn’t that what everyone wants?

How do you like this concept? Would you prefer this to an open plan concept with a large island with seating?

Barbeque Sculpture

This BBQ from French Manufacturer Cesarré is so stunning, it will make you pause. It’s such a beautiful sculptural work of art, who wouldn’t want one?

Called the Kara, this barbeque is finished in powder-coated steel. The Kara grill is 180 cm or 70.875″ high, 200 cm or 78.75″ wide and 110 cm or 42.25″ deep. The grilling area is 50 cm x 50 cm or just slightly over 2.5 square feet.

While this grill is not for the serious barbeque chef who likes to cook in large quantities, it is also very likely to be too nice for the average patio. This grill is a luxury item and comes with a luxury price tag of €5,400 ($7,303.00).

Using rustic planks can be a great DIY, low-budget way to make a room have more visual appeal. I’ve put together a collection of photos from the web to serve as inspiration.

This simple hallway goes from ho-hum to cottage chic with textured planks on the ceiling.

These stairs would look so boring and plain without the plank façade.

This modern look is kept from looking sterile by using wooden planks for the fireplace surround.

Using coordinating paint is a great way to save on material for this reading nook.
