Range Hood Style

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Range hoods (otherwise known as vent-a-hoods) are a necessity for some cooks. My husband cooks crazy things on high heat and is often tossing smoking hot wok dishes around willy-nilly. A range hood is a necessity for us… especially when you live in a highly inefficient 1957 atomic ranch style home with very old (but awesome) metal windows.

But along with function, comes form. And these days you are not limited to the run-of-the-mill range hoods that don every apartment kitchen built in the last 30 years. Check out our “Range Hood Style” Pinterest board to see the many available styles, however far and wide they may be, of the range hood. A smattering of that comprehensive selection include:

Color dipping

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

Riding on the coat tails of the ombre trend, color dipping is a way to add a little spring in the step to your favorite pieces of furniture… and more. The “mini trend“, as Apartment Therapy recently put is cropping up everywhere, especially in regards to revamping or altering furniture.

The Brick House has a great tutorial on color dipped jute table legs. It’s a simple how-to that packs a big punch in the color department. Color dipping seems to have emerged as an extension of the practice in pottery. Now people color dip their furniture, home decor, silverware, table linens and even their hair.

Color dipping is a fun way to get creative and add a lot of impact to a space with very little commitment. Get creative! Dive in, dip things in color and saturate your life.
