So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Practical Design Ideas For The Kitchen Dining Room

By Edward White


Preparing the food is pleasurable and eating is exciting so why not combine these two in one room? This is actually the concept behind the so-called kitchen dining room. It's where the family gets to bond with each other while enjoying their food. Do you like to create a room like this in your own home? Why not?

Integrating food preparation and eating is certainly a tricky task to do. Then again, successfully creating a useful kitchen dining room is doable with the help of the experts. What we have below are some of the sensible advices we have gathered from them. Hopefully, you'll be able to find inspiration and brilliant ideas you can actually apply in your own home.

There's the convenience of the open plan. This layout, which lets the occupants get rid of obstructions frees up adequate space to move around the kitchen with no difficulty. In addition, it makes it easier to clean up the whole space after the food preparation and when everyone has already finished eating.

You'd always want to avoid clutter especially in places where activities tend to overlap sometimes. It's possible to achieve this by finding the right furniture pieces. Let's take the dining chairs for instance. Try placing a banquette seating even on just one side of the table. Other than accommodating another diner, this comfortable and space-saving seat can similarly conceal an additional storage space beneath its cushion. On the other hand, the one may opt to purchase transparent acrylic or clear polycarbonate chairs which provide sufficient seating capacity without obstructing the view. These chairs also prevent the area to be seen as too crowded for comfort.

The kitchen and dining areas are two of the rooms in a house that presents a challenge when it comes to organisation. They demand enough storage spaces. While concertina doors which open up to a stock room of food, kitchen tools and whatnot is a smart use of available space, sometimes, they still don't suffice. There are instances when the volume of stuff which needs to be kept away from view but still easily accessible for daily use requires the building of overhead storage spaces which may be placed on top of the counters, island, bar or dining table.

The concept of a kitchen dining room does not rob each zone of its own unique identity. Even if each space which caters to a distinctly different activity overlaps with one another at a certain point, it is nonetheless possible to define each. How? Well, one way is by applying a different colour scheme for each area.
