Bakers Rack - An Essential Piece Of Kitchen Furniture

A bakers rack can be a nice addition to a kitchen and can be an ideal storage unit for wine glasses, stemware, and even wine bottles. In modern kitchens bakers racks are also used to display family treasures like vases or the traditional crystal ware.

Bakers racks can serve a decorative purpose by filling extra space in the kitchen in which case they are better utilized to house your collections of glasses, coffee cups or even beer mugs. However, in most cases bakers racks are utilized in a functional manner meaning they serve as essential pieces of furniture in a kitchen and relieve it of clutter by containing the extra accessories like recipe books as well.

Counter Height Stools Wood

Most bakers racks are just wide enough to occupy an optimum space without being awkward. Typically bakers racks measure about 3 feet in width, but the height is left to the manufacturer and the buyer. Where storage is the main criteria, bakers racks are equipped with drawers and compartments or even cabinets tailor made to house the numerous kitchenware that would otherwise clutter up a decent kitchen.

Some bakers racks can be wall mounted, but such furniture pieces are rare because people seem to prefer a sturdier version. An addition of shelves into a bakers rack is another great way to create extra space for storing dinner plates or baking trays and other baking accessories.

Most bakers racks are made of metal, but a mixture of materials can also be available. For example a backers rack may be of a wooden structure, but the shelves are of metal or even plastic. Wrought iron is another popular metal used in manufacturing bakers racks.

Glass bakers racks are also available, but they are delicate pieces and in homes with children can prove to be a headache. Bakers racks made of marble or wicker impart a classy look to your kitchen simply because of their elegance. However you do need to decide the function that your bakers rack will play before choosing a particular material.

Corner bakers racks are fast gaining popularity because of their ability to fit into nooks and corners of a kitchen. Bakers racks used in corners usually contain wine bottles and glasses. Corner bakers racks can also be crafted from pine to impart additional elegance if desired.

If you are using bakers rack in outdoor settings then these furniture units can be ideal places for storing garden tools and even acting as food and drink centers when you are throwing backyard parties. Additionally they can also be used as plant stands and store all your gardening tools if required. Bakers racks used in an outdoor setting can also act as a decorative piece if you decide to put house potted plants on it.

Consumers need to be aware that although pricing models differ greatly based on the material used in bakers racks, the do it yourself or DIY models are not advised. These are a cheaper alternative but in most cases you will end up spending more to assemble it rather than when buying a well crafted bakers rack in the first place.

Bar Stools Add Interest To Any Kitchen Decor

Bar stools are not only a great way to get extra seating without taking up too much space but they can also serve as unique accent pieces in your kitchen. Bar stools are great for high counters, kitchen islands or tall bistro style tables and can work with pretty much any style of décor. Here's some tips on the type of bar stool you might want to match with certain decorating styles.

Counter Height Stools Wood

Contemporary

Counter Height Stools Wood

A contemporary style calls for sleek modern lines. You can get interesting stools in chrome or steel that will go great with chrome appliances. If your kitchen has the dark mysterious look, try adding bar stools with a black finish. To add some zip you can use bar stools that have a funky design, or if you aren't that adventurous, try some with a half back or V shaped legs.

Retro

Retro is in these days and what better way to accent your retro style kitchen than with stools that borrow design elements from the good old days. You can buy brand new stools that are chrome and vinyl in a myriad of styles. Unlike actual vintage stools you won't have to worry about rusting metal or ripped upholstery with new stools. You can get great stools with or without backs in a retro 50's look, a vinyl retro lounge look with a full back and arms, and even backless counter stools just like you would see in the soda shop.

Tropical

For tropical themed kitchens you can choose from a wide selection of bar stools that will compliment your look. First you can go with a plain bamboo or rattan if your kitchen is very informal. If you are going for more of a fun look, you can try metal bar stools that have a palm tree or other tropical style cutout or similar stools that are painted on the backs with tropical designs.

Café

If your kitchen is modeled after a café or bistro, you will find many chairs you can use to enhance the look. Plain cherry wood chairs like those you would see in the upscale coffee shops always look nice and you can also get metal chairs with a stylish new-age design that compliments this look very well.

Themed

If you are going with an ethnic, earthy sort of kitchen like a Tuscan or Mexican style you might look at wrought iron bar stools. They come with designs on the backs, arms and legs that range from really scrolly to just slightly. With upholstered seats, these can be covered to match the colors in your kitchen.

Traditional

If you have a more formal or traditional kitchen, there are many bar stools that will go perfectly. I like a heavier stool with this look so you might try an oak or cherry stool that is solid and with arms. If you want an upscale pub look, try wood and leather bar stools that add class and elegance to any room.

If, like many people, your kitchen is eclectic with no particular theme, there is still a bar stool that will look great. You can really let your creativity show with hand painted stools that depict many items from flowers, to fruit to ocean scenes.

One word of caution when choosing a bar stool - you must be sure to get the right height for your counter or table. Normally bar stool seats range from 17" to 31" in so there is a good chance you will be able to buy the stool you love in the size you need. To figure out what that size is, you should measure the distance from the bottom of the table or counter to the floor. An ideal fit would be to leave between 10 and 13 inches of space from the bottom of the table to the top of the seat of the stool, so if your table was 35" from the floor, you would want to get a 24" bar stool. This is rather important as buying a stool that does not properly fit your table or counter will result in uncomfortable seating.

Teak Patio Furniture - Timeless, Durable and Versatile

Sunny days are too glorious to waste on being in the house, especially when you gaze outside and see your elegant teak patio furniture beckoning you outdoors! Teak is the consummate choice to complement your outdoor space with the style of your existing home. Its reputation as a durable, naturally water-resistant material makes it ideal for outside furniture arrangements. The striking wood grain, which eventually weathers to a handsome silvery gray, lends itself to match nearly every exterior decor and patio space. The durability of teak patio furniture has increased in popularity over other woods because of its natural oil and rubber content which resists rot and insects and provides the unique ability to withstand the outside elements for long periods of time in virtually every weather condition.

Counter Height Stools Wood

The diverse styles from which you can choose to decorate your outdoor spaces are virtually limitless. What may immediately come to mind in teak patio furniture sets is a traditional rectangular dining table with chairs. However, there are many other options available, particularly online. which offers the added bonus of saving you from driving around town to multiple furniture stores. You can order in the comfort of your own home and save time and gas in the process.

Counter Height Stools Wood

Maybe you are attracted to the whimsical design of a half-moon bench, chair and coffee table set to dress up that satellite seating area. The smaller proportions fit easily in a cozy nook or on your lanai. A contemporary round dining set makes for natural conversation with guests and could be just the right fit for your gazebo. Or perhaps you've been coveting the immensely popular square top table set with high benches that seats eight people comfortably and is perfect for card games and conversation.

If you do have your heart set on that traditional rectangular table, you may want to consider seating options for both large and small gatherings. There are a myriad of sizes and styles available, many with removable table top sections and leaves to create a cozy grouping for a more intimate gathering as well as accommodating large parties.

Perhaps your dining set is complete and you need some accent items or functional pieces for your entertaining area. Or maybe you have a smaller space that needs just the right flourish to add a finishing touch. Other beautiful teak patio furniture essentials include:

• Side tables: Round, square, half moon, counter height and nesting... easy to move and fit in small spaces!

• Lounge chairs: Choose from clean, simple lines or exquisite detailed elegance. Rollers make it easy to catch the sun from all angles, or to move under a tree for shade.

• Tree and planter boxes: Whether square, round or rectangular, show your beautiful plantings and vegetables in their best light.

• Cleanup: Anyone who entertains knows the challenge of tastefully dealing with all those used waste items. Handsome teak trash receptacles are an aesthetically pleasing option, featuring a bonus countertop and hideaway trash compartment.

• And who can resist a teak bar... an indispensable item for entertaining around your patio, pool or hot tub, with ample storage for glasses, barware,and other serving essentials! Paired with stools or chairs, the teak bar will be the center point of your next get together.

After enjoying your teak patio furniture for several years, you may wish to restore the patina back to its original luscious honey tone. Restoring teak is so much easier than other woods - no stripping, no sanding. Simply apply one of several easy-to-apply teak restoring oils available online or in local hardware stores to bring back the natural color to the wood. Then add some teak protector to preserve the finish and keep your teak patio furniture looking as pristine as the day it arrived.

Unique &amp; Functional Kitchen Island Ideas

If you are looking to do a complete kitchen remodeling for yourself, or for maximum resale value, don't neglect the kitchen island. Once just a place to pull up some stools so the kids could eat before running to the bus, the island and it's function in the kitchen has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years.

Counter Height Stools Wood

In addition to seating 4 (or more), islands today are used to house "luxury" appliances that do not fit in the cabinet structure like a second microwave, second oven, wine refrigerator or even another cooktop. Islands many times are fully wired for electricity and have plumbing for a second sink. The base of an island can be used as a wine rack. The possibilities are almost endless.

Counter Height Stools Wood

We are often asked if the countertop of the island needs to match the existing kitchen countertop in style, or what will be installed as the main kitchen countertop. In most homes I would say it does match, but it really does not have to at all, nor does the material need to be the same. In fact, if you are not going to match them up exactly it's better if it looks like you are not even trying to match them, so using a completely different color and surface is perfectly acceptable. For example, we have seen islands of concrete when the rest of the kitchen countertop is made of granite or another material. We have seen a black island used as a nice "dividing wall" to keep the kids away from a white kitchen.

What can we expect to pay for an island during a remodel? This one is too hard to answer because there are simply too many choices. A "ready to install" stock island you can purchase in a home store with connections for drainage and power can run about 0. A custom concrete countertop island with sink, cooktop, and wine refrigerator can easily eclipse ,000.

If you are not looking just for resale value, and we assume many of you will actually want to use your island, just think if the main uses for the island before construction. Will it be a place for the kids to eat breakfast or a baking center for your wife who like to make pies and cakes? The design should really follow the function when it comes to an island. For example, if you are tired of not being able to put hot pots directly on your countertop, install granite on your island, where placing a red hot pan should be no problem.

Plan the height of your cabinet appropriately. Since most islands will have at least two stools or chairs pulled up to the surface, you may want to think about the seating or stools first. There are two kinds of bar stools with one being much higher than the other. Unless the island will be used primarily for family eating, there really are no hard and fast rules on height. It does not have to match the height of the kitchen cabinet, but often does. If it is not going to match it should be taller in most cases.

Islands can "float" as well. Smaller islands used primarily as an aid in cooking or baking can be fitted with wheels and moved around the kitchen as needed to aid in cooking. Whether you consider a floating island will probably depend on what you have installed on the floor now, or plan to install (a soft wood will be nicked and scratched).

For those remodeling and looking for an "open" feel where perhaps the wall or half wall separating the kitchen and the dining room is taken down, a strategically placed island acts as a subtle room divider mentally separating the kitchen from the dining room but with a much more open feel.

Adding Wallpaper, Borders, Wainscoting, Or Chair Rails to Complete a Room

With all the available products on the market to change and improve the cosmetics of the home interior it can be a daunting choice. Wallpaper or borders can make it easy to theme out a room. Then there are chair rails or wainscoting. Paneling is another alternative. Is painting the best option? What about stenciling? Which is the most cost effective and least time consuming? What about safety?

Counter Height Stools Wood

The safest and least expensive cosmetic change overall is wallpaper or borders. This method of customizing a room's appearance can be performed by almost any individual. As long as you have access to a sharp pair of scissors, a good straight 3' level and/or a plumb bob, tape measure, and a sturdy step stool. The last item will be a long plastic water trough for submerging the wallpaper or border completely. With these few common household tools a typical 8' tall wall can get a new lease on life. A good amount of open space will be required to allow for a good clutter free work area.

Counter Height Stools Wood

Painting is probably the most common method of altering a room's appearance, but often comes with trade offs. Instead of a simple affordable step stool, a ladder will be required to reach the top edged of the wall where it meets the ceiling. Much of the necessary painting supplies such as brushes, rollers, and paint trays will quickly increase the cost. The advantage of painting is a truly customized color to reflect your décor and tastes.

Additional materials needed are drop cloths and either a dust mask or respirator. The last items necessary for proper safety are often overlooked. Safety should always be of prime importance. The majority of paints on the market can have adverse health risks. Most paints give off volatile organic compounds or V.O.C.s even after the paint has completely dried. Volatile organic compounds have been linked to head aches and nausea as well as more serious potential health risks. There are a growing number of low or no V.O.C. paints on the market as health awareness heightens.

Installing a chair rail or wainscoting will give any room a distinctive charm and flair, however, special attention, skills, and tools need to be used with this type of cosmetic customizing. A good miter saw and/or circular saw, tape measure, and safety instruments are just a few of the tools that are key in order to produce professional results. The majority of households do not have these tools necessary for installing this type of room accenting so is often the most expensive alternative to change a room's appearance. If expense is of no concern, then safety and skill level with these tools is the next topic that needs to be addressed.

Make sure to have a good pair of safety glasses and hearing protectors. The power tools used for this project are often quite dangerous in the hands of an unskilled worker and special attention is required to use these tools in a safe and responsible manner.

Other safety issues are regarding the type of material from which the chair rail and/or wainscoting is made. Many composite materials such as MDF or other wood products have been manufactured using a formaldehyde based resin to glue the wood particle board together. This type of glue, commonly used in kitchen counter tops, has been proven to be carcinogenic. Many wood products, such as preassembled or ready-to-assemble furniture, that use particle board materials can produce off gases that may affect an individual's health.

Further exploration of a room's decorative options can be found throughout books, television, online, or even a hardware store. The imagination is the only limit to revitalizing that boring old room and showing off your accomplishments to friends and family.
