I have never seen a carpeted kitchen. I have heard of such things; people tell tales about soft floored kitchens around the world, places where people can walk around bare foot, or go for a midnight snack, without fear of having the freezing grasp of the tiled floor waking them from their late night slumber […]
One of my final tips for updating your kitchen’s look on a budget is painting it. Yes, that’s right; painting it. I know it is the oldest solution in the book; but for the cost conscious designer, or someone on a shoe string budget who is tired of staring at the same old kitchen walls, […]
