Let's talk Kitchens
Kitchens are the heart of the home. Even if you are not much for cooking, it's still the place where people gather. It's something that can sell a home, or turn buyers away. It's where you get to be you, and share what makes your house a home. Here are some current trends for kitchens.
ISLANDS:
There is something about a kitchen island that brings people together. You can do food prep there, gather around it to chat, grab a casual meal, share a drink with some appetizers, have the kids do their homework there. Here are 50 different styles of kitchen islands from our friends at Houzz. Which is your favorite? I like the Turramurra and the Currimundi one, with the single level and so loooooong.
SMART KITCHENS:
The Smart Home is ever evolving and kitchens are part of the trend. From the faucets you don't have to touch to turn on, to refrigerators than tell you to go grocery shopping. Do you have any smart items in your kitchen you'd recommend? Here's a look at some of the touchless faucets, with reviews.
PET FRIENDLY:
Yes, really. A lower drawer that pulls out and holds food and water dishes, called a feeding station. What about building in a doggy bed under the kitchen island, so your four legged family member gets to hang out around the island, too?
FLOORING:
Hardwood floor is still the most popular in kitchens, with tile right behind it. Why not combine the two and get easy to maintain tile that looks like hardwood? Check out these tile styles that can fool you into thinking they're wood.
