Kitchen Trend Prediction: "Le No-Snacking Design"
Comments (20)Oh, to hell with you all. Breakfast: Espresso & Reese's cups Location: On the front porch. Lunch: Oh, yeah. I should eat something. Location: Anywhere I happen to be. Dinner: Buy (ok, mostly sneak) it at the restaurant. Location: The break room. On the day off, Grill a big fat steak and drink wine. OK, round it off with some mashed taties. Location: Porch, couch, whatever. Note to self: Move building crap off dining table. Home after work: More wine, maybe more Reese's cups. No Reese's cups? Ok, settle for some cookie dough. Location: Flat on my back on the couch until I crawl my tired but to bed. Exercise: You walk and smile for 10 hours at a time when you would love to strangle that awful 10% of the guests who could use a good, vigorous enema instead of Fried Chicken -- extra nakkins & summa dat hot sauce. You got any Brayed? You shud gimme dis free. I saw a fly on the wall. Ober dare. Walk away........ Who needs a kitchen, anyway? Isn't that what most people's coffee tables are for? Except those of you with those annoying and frightening little people creatures, of course. Oh - BTW. I just moved my fridge to the mudroom. LOVE IT. Visually it's more space in which to do nothing but nuke milk for my espresso....See MoreWhat's the next design trend????
Comments (40)Thanks. Its funny because since I had mine with a small bevel like I mentioned before, and my painters had caulking in the corners to make them smooth, I guess I accidentally ended up with easy to clean ones because of these minor edits. I also think it has something to do with the prep work, at least for job built ones, I have been in some flip houses where they did those cabinets and I think the finish is fairly rough and the paint on them is fairly thin which would drive future issues like you are highlighting. Thinking about the initial thought of the style differences, regardless of whether both are kitchens or not, there are some basic style things I am thinking about on which is longer lasting. Most notable, White walls and baseboards vs. light walls with dark baseboards. Light floors vs. dark floors. ORB vs. Chrome. I like both, but have a personal preference of the two, but I don't know that it will ever be the most popular. The last thing I am thinking is that if I were to go with the white on white I would probably do different ceiling details than if I do the one with light walls and dark baseboards. (one more square ceilings than the other one). What I am learning here is to make things easy to change be the trendy part. Maybe pay a little more for the floors if they ever need to be refinished you can do that instead of getting floors so thin they can't be refinished etc. Anyway - thoughts not the style differences I noted?...See MoreWall Street Journal Design Trends 2020
Comments (9)Thanks for sharing; I enjoy reading these lists every year. They give me flashbacks to the BHG and HGTV decor boards, circa 1999/2000 ... experts and posters alike were very sure and very giddy that stainless steel appliances would be “out” by 2000 .... but go ahead and get them if you want to ruin your kitchen and life!!! :D I so wish I could go back and reread those old threads. Granite countertops were also predicted to go out of style VERY SOON (2001) and never be seen again. I don’t mind the idea of trends. They’ve been around forever. Cars, decor, fashion, etc. Some new things are introduced, some old introduced as new again, interesting conversations are had, sometimes they can be inspiring, some people rebel, they almost always go too far, people want to barf just looking at another [whatever was run into the ground], and it starts again. I majored in sociology, but also worked in the design field, so can get very long-winded and super boring on this sort of subject. Anyway, I love earth tones, have always decorated that way. I love warm tones, wood, etc, but can certainly appreciate other styles, too. Marketers always try to herd us all into an either/or mentality. I’ve always believed there’s plenty of room for everything, as well as lots of ways to work with a mix. And I’ve managed to find new treasures for my earth toned surroundings, even during the cool-toned gray, frosty blue, and white era. ;) ETA: See! I warned you I’d get boring! Y’all are thinking, “Nobody asked all that”. :D...See MoreWhat are your questions about laundry room trends?
Comments (37)I have always felt that architects and designers give laundry rooms short shrift. I think people can spend a lot of time in the ‘laundry’ ‘doing the laundry’, but also folding clothes, doing little fix it projects, storing the Costco detergents and so forth, flower arranging, and caring for Fido and kitty in that little orphan of a room. And, oh, ironing! I suspect not many do ironing any more, but I do, and I have to drag the ironing board all over the house to find a nice spot. And we have never owned a home with a laundry room that featured a good exhaust fan or even a ceiling fan. The laundry room concept could really use a major redesign for the average American home, IMHO. LOL. Just my 2 cents. 😍...See MoreUser
