Including Your Pets in the Kitchen

Problem: Where To Put The Pet’s Bowls?

 

Addressing the modern needs of a large family and incorporating every family member is necessary in designing the perfect kitchen—even including the family dog and cat!  This clever pet-food nook is another space saver, integrated inside a cabinet; no one trips over the food bowls anymore! Contact Kitchen & Bath Details to speak with a designer about where to put this design solution in your new kitchen!

We apologize for the grainy photos, but we just had to share how cool AND useful this cabinet can be in the kitchen or auxiliary room.

Emerald Green - Pantone's Color for 2013

Each year, Pantone, the world-renowned color experts, designate an official "color of the year".  For 2013 they've selected emerald green.  They describe the color as "lively, radiant and lush...a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."  Who wouldn't love a little elegance and harmony in their home?  Pantone's website (www.pantone.com) is a great resource to check out a huge variety of colors and current color trends.  A pop of color is a fun way to give a room touch of personality, especially in the kitchen.  To help you make this the year of emerald green, we've selected some fabulous kitchen and home items shown below, including some products available through Kitchen & Bath Details!

Baking in the Wolf Convection Steam Oven

Did you ever think you could steam an apple pie? Well, think again... It's possible with Wolf's new Convection Steam Oven! Thanks to our friends at Clarke, our super excited client learned how valuable this new appliance will be in her beautiful new kitchen. This steam oven isn't just for veggies. You can roast a chicken, bake a loaf of bread (or a pie!), reheat leftovers, refresh snacks to their original state. The possibilities are pretty limitless! AND... what a healthy way to cook! We didn't even need to put an egg wash on this pie... and look at the finished product! Amazing!
