This picture is from the June issue of Dwell Magazine.
It proves that you can add lots of storage to a small space without it looking boring.
The article didn’t discuss the details of the kitchen but it made me think of when people buy kitchen displays or cabinets from someone who is remodeling and they try to come up with ways to use all the cabinets in their own kitchen.
A Special Thanks goes to mod*mom for giving me a peek at the digital edition of Dwell Magazine.
I’ve written about the penny round glass mosaic
tile from Zaijan in a previous post.
Now I want to mention their Tropical Life series
of tile that combines coconut shell tile with marble mosaic tile.
The raw texture of the coconut precisely cut into
medallions and borders with traditional stone
makes these tiles irresistible.
I’ve seen these tiles in person and the pictures do
not do justice to their beauty.
These tiles are perfect for turning a master
bathroom suite into a tropical oasis.
ReLEDSystems, from Huntington Beach, CA offers an LED replacement for fluorescent T5, T8 and T12 lamps.
The extruded aluminum linear lamp conforms to the dimensions of a typical fluorescent lamp. It provides an efficient heat sink and uses bright Lumiled K2 diodes. The fluorescent ballast is replaced with the Re Driver. It’s skinny profile helps to make retrofitting the ballast easier.
In addition to the energy savings, the benefits of utilization of LED lighting technology include a 10 year service life (more than half a billion fluorescent tubes are disposed of int he US each year), no infrared or UV light emissions, no mercury or PCBs, high quality light and wide operating temperature range.
This is great news for people who have fluorescent fixtures in place and want and to utilize LED lighting.
The largest design dilemma in an L-shaped kitchen is “What do you do in the corner?”
A great way to add sleek functionality to your kitchen is by incorporating the Le Mans swivelling shelves in not just a blind cabinet but a Tall Blind Cabinet.
Rows of tall cabinets are very popular right now – espeically with interesting wood grains. By keeping the tall cabinets on the short side the room actually feels bigger. Extra tall cabinets in a small space feel a bit too towering.
