Decor Your Kitchen With Small Cabinets

Generally, the base kitchen cabinet is 24 inches deep and 36 inches high. They either sit directly on the floor or rest on a 4-inch kick riser. Their width depends on what is on tops of it, such as a sink, stove, or countertop.

There are some random areas in your house that seem to be screaming to decorate, but just as something has to go there, such as the open space under the stairs or the space above the kitchen cabinets. It tends to be very unpleasant.

If your work area cannot accommodate standard size cabinets, one option is to incorporate a custom cabinet into your kitchen to provide the storage you need in tight spaces. Custom cabinets are manufactured individually according to the owner’s specific design requirements. They are usually built by carpenters hired by local cabinet makers or owners. Labour costs for custom cabinets are considerable. There is no prefabricated one because all parts of the cabinet need to be created from scratch assembled and then installed. This tedious process is time-consuming and, as a result, costly.

If you’re lacking in kitchen flair and need something to create the final look, decorating your kitchen cabinets can be the answer.

If you can’t find a good place to showcase that beautiful collection, put it in your kitchen cabinet. Vases and books are great for decorating your cabinet. However, you need to make sure that the object is large enough to be displayed. A collection of salt and pepper shakers. Probably not the right choice for that location.

Space above kitchen cabinets can provide additional storage for baskets that can keep small items and kitchen items out of sight.

If you have enough space in that area, you can hang some objects on the wall. Whether it’s framed photos, baking or cooking tools, or mirrors, this space will surprisingly fit into any wall art. Go to the flea market you will find interesting pieces to make your kitchen look much more charming.

You may think that it has gone out of style since, in the 80s, vines were used to be used on kitchen cabinets. However, you can find realistic-looking faux plants that will add a nice touch to the room and keep it fresh and clean. Add some similar arrangements on the countertop and dining room table.

If there is enough space in the cupboard, it may not be enough to store everything. Therefore, show only what you need and what you regularly use, such as cake racks and trays, kitchen paper rolls, kitchen scales, and decorations.

  • If you have high ceilings, tall vases and ceramic art can be great pieces to place in the space above kitchen cabinets.
  • If you can’t find walls to put your old oil paintings and framed black-and-white photos on, put them above your kitchen cabinets.
  • It can be functionally stored in a space not found elsewhere, such as picnic baskets, ornaments and cutting boards.
  • Add bricks (or simulate brick wallpaper) on top of the cabinet for a cool industrial effect. It helps balance a stylish and modern kitchen. They can also be blocks or trees.
  • Homeowners with large kitchens can also look for some small cabinets to fill the space around the appliances or to provide unique storage such as spice cabinets and wine cabinets.

Whether you need a small cabinet that fits in a small space in your kitchen, or you’re looking for a specific cabinet to store specific kitchen items, you can customize the cabinet to be smaller than the standard size for any design to suit your taste. They can provide functional storage in a new style.

Furnishing a small kitchen is not an unsolvable problem if you design the environment correctly, making it functional and looking beautiful thanks to the infinite solutions available on the market.

The sum of these elements will make your kitchen functional even in situations of limited space; the size of the houses has decreased more and more in recent decades, and if they add to this the fact that now they eat at homeless and fewer times, given the distance from home/work, it no longer makes much sense to give many square meters of the home to this environment.

Beautify Your Flower Garden with These 7 Tips

A garden is a constant job as well as a source of beauty and peace in your yard. Flower gardens are a beautiful addition to any landscape design. It is also a great way to help your local flora and fauna, as well as bees that keep the flora alive. Bees love native flowers, and they are most attracted to them. It’s very easy to beautify your flower garden, so read on to see our 7 tips.

1. Plan out your garden design

If you are starting fresh, it’s best to make a plan of action first. Planning the look of your flower garden will help you make the best use of your space. It is also a perfect time to research which flowers and plants are native to your area. Native plants are the easiest to grow and take care of, as they don’t need special treatment to survive in the native climate and soil. If you are planning to have exotic and non-native flowers, take your time learning how to take care of them and make them thrive. Mismanagement can make them wilt, or never grow at all.

2. Decide on the shape and size

If you are dealing with a large plot of land, you will have more room to make a garden of your dreams, but at the same time, you may feel overwhelmed with the possibilities. Flowers and flowers beds can be arranged in many different shapes and sizes. You can sketch out how your garden is going to look. A more practical approach is to take a long rope and outline the shapes and size of your flowerbeds. This way you can check if every part of your garden is the right size and accessible.

3. Choose the flowers

This is the fun part. A good idea is to choose your favourite flowers – you will want to spend a lot of time in your garden this way. Some of the flowers may be either difficult to obtain or they are not suited for specific climates. Try to create a balance between the flower you like and the ones that can actually thrive in your garden. If you are not confident in your gardening skills, choose flowers that are easy to maintain or that are native to your area.

4. Focal points and show-stoppers

A flower garden that has flowers of only one height or colour can look plain or as a flower field. A variety of shapes, colours, and heights is what will create interest and focal points in the garden. Choose show-stopping flowers that will become a focal point in the garden. They can be tall shrubs that will tower over other flowers or a bright colour that stands out. Consider blooming times of every flower, and seasons in which they look the best.

5. Check blooming times

Since you are paying a lot of attention to the visual aspect of your garden, you don’t want your efforts to go to waste because of bloom times. This can include flowers that only bloom in the summer and are bare the rest of the year, or flowers that have different blooming times but are planted in the same flowerbed. It creates an uneven and unpleasant look. It’s best to choose flowers that are in bloom for a longer period of time, as well as look good when not in bloom.

6. Watering and taking care of your garden

Besides choosing beautiful flowers and foliage, it’s important to properly take care of your garden for it to look its best in the long run. Some flowers are only annual, and some have a longer life. Every flower has different needs to thrive and look its best. Make sure to water your garden when it’s not too hot outside, in the morning or evening, or they can burn in the sun. For easier watering, installing hose reels will help you keep your hose neat and easily accessible. Make sure you can provide needed supplements for your flowers so they can grow healthy and beautiful.

7. Add garden decoration

You can spice up your garden with decorations that can also act as focal points. Birdbaths can have a simple or intricate design and add interest to your garden. Lighting is necessary, and you can place hanging lights from trees or solar lamps on the sides of pathways. Arbours can be decorated with wines and act as a small resting area.

The combination and diversity of a flower garden are endless, with many variations of colours, fragrance, and types of flowers and plants. Remember to enjoy the process and that your garden can be ever-evolving and you can change it up with seasons. Take proper care of your garden to enjoy it for a long time.

Christmas Snowflake From Clothes Hangers

39b9b231ed17b154b6e2da2b6e003cc8This is such a cool decoration for Christmas. It is cheap so you can make a lot of them to really make an impact for the front of your home. There are different variations of it available but I like this one the best. Another aspect that I like about it, other then it being cheap and easy, is that it is already weatherproof.

You can find the video tutorial I used here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rru9qejrGMw

Some variations I found are:

Wrap with small sized lights.

Wrap with dollar store tinsel garland.

Spray paint silver, gold or some other color of your choice.

Spray polyurethane on it and while it is still wet sprinkle glitter on it. Make sure to do this over an old sheet tarp. It would get messy. Think iridescent or a color to coordinate with your home color or theme inspiration.

You could really go to town with these and have several hanging from the front of your home or from large trees. You could use one for each window in your home. Your total minimal investment would be $2.00 for 12 hangers fro your local discount department store and a package of small zip ties which I got twenty for $1.75. I reinforced the ones I made with extra zip ties here and there so I used plenty of them. Instead of the floral piece the guy in the video used I went to Michaels and got medium sized thin wood cutouts. I spray painted them on both sides and heavily coated them with polyurethane to protect them from the elements. I hot glued these on. You can use your imagination for the center including leaving them with nothing in the middle. I like them that way as well.

851bdb89045e54b0adf3128505ca90a9Hang with twine or a thin piece of wire. Where the hanger is attached you could put a complimentary bow. I wouldn’t put the bow AND center piece though I think it would muddle the snowflake design a bit.

If you do this let me see them and I would be happy to share on this post. When submitting let me know what name to credit your design with.
