Peace, Joy & Good Cookin'
Well-planned "Food for Thought"
A place for me to post and "showcase" 3-D views as well as floorplans and elevations which comply with NKBA industry standards. Created during an intense learning curve on the commensurate software (20-20), which I admittedly tackled with the help of online tutorials to maximize a "use it or lose it" skillset.
I'll be posting some concept views within the next week. A side-goal is to put up links to kitchen designs of interest/Pinterest and related ephemera–vintage-to-contemporary being the planned focus.
The kitchen, it is said by 54% of Americans in a recent poll (*citation to come), has become the most important room in their home. In mine, my foodie (cringe at the term, but it's the term "of the moment" to be sure) husband is the chief cook. I'm the bottlewasher. He bought our house, before we met, primarily on the basis of the kitchen which had been renovated to exceed the standards of a modest, sub-development ranch house in the late 1980's.
Despite heavy use–dinner parties, kids' birthday parties, special occasions and all–we still are using the now 23!!+year-old appliances– SubZ, Viking, Franke-branded stuff with only the occasional call to our local repairman for a worn out motor or gas-jet issue.
The cabinets are a matte-laminate with nice, hefty Italian-made, "Euro-style", spring-loaded doors and soft-close drawers. Nothing peeling or bubbling, a testament to the excellent manufacturing standards of the product. If it wasn't all white and entirely nondescript, I'd be a happy camper in our kitchen, but as it is, I live with the sterility against every grain of my own taste and desire for something with more of a "humanist"feel. C'est la vie…
More to come as I upload images etc., soon.
