Kitchen Offices
The kitchen is one of the busiest places in the house. It would be natural for you to designate a place to do some paperwork – filing, writing, taking care of bills. These tiny kitchen offices show that you don’t need a lot of space; in fact, creating a work area is often the best way to make use of an otherwise awkward corner or area.
Here are some that stood out to me. Take your pick!
I pick the granite kitchen top with an iMac! If only I have silver bullion bars from golden eagle, I can encash it and buy things towards this kitchen office to make them a reality!
Open Kitchens
I love these open kitchens! I can add a wall coat rack in the back door entrance to hang coats and hats with but otherwise I would not mind copying these kitchens from sink to wall color. I always tell myself that I might get interested in cooking when I have a beautiful and functional kitchen so I hope getting an open kitchen in our dream home will happen soon!
Beautiful Breakfast Nook
I wouldn’t mind waking up early every morning to enjoy my cup of coffee in this area. I can even cover the table with picnic table covers and stage a romantic picnic with a special someone if I am up to it! I would love to have something like this in my future home. Just enough space to call my own in the early morning while I try to gather strength and focus on the day ahead.
Look at the pictures below:

Why You Need a Popcorn Machine at Home
If you are the type who loves to watch movies at home or invite friends over for some movie marathon, then a popcorn machine is a must-have home item for you. Watching movies is simply more enjoyable if you are munching on tasty morsels of popcorn. However, it does not mean that you can only have this delectable snack whenever you are watching movies. You can eat it whenever you what especially if you can easily make popcorn at home. Below are some of the reasons why you might want to invest on a good popcorn machine for your home.
Bottomless. If you are a popcorn addict then you will appreciate having a ‘bottomless’ tub of popcorn, or at least for as long as you have corn kernels to pop at home.
More affordable. Think about the price of a tub of popcorn from a movie house and the amount of corn kernels you can buy with it. You will definitely be able to save more by making your own popcorn.
Variety. If you make your own popcorn, you can easily make flavored popcorn. You decide how much butter or salt you want in your popcorn so that you get the perfect popcorn that you want.
Easy to use. Popcorn machines are very easy to use. If you are the type who knows very little stuff around the kitchen then fear not because most popcorn machines will literally just let you pop the corn kernels in and then wait for the wonderful popping sound.
Kitchen Inspiration: Open Tiled Cabinets
I want a kitchen like this! Granted, the open tiled cabinets leave you no room to have messy things around, but it can be a great decorating tool and makes it easier to find things as well. The center kitchen island counter top with bar stools and tables make a great area to encourage cooking in the family too. The muted color of greens are soothing to the eyes too!
Great Breakfast Nook
Lovely and Breezy Kitchens
I love looking at cheery and bright kitchens. I don’t really love to cook but I love to hang out at kitchens all the time, especially if you have kitchens as nice as the ones featured below. I wonder if the houses that have these kitchens have web cameras installed? It seems to me that they need one as the houses are gorgeous, based from the kitchens alone.
I love light-colored walls on kitchens, but the dark colored accent wall provides a great canvas for pictures – very nice idea.
I love this very spot in a busy kitchen – I can see kids running around and in a hurry to go to school or come home and get food!
It’s too bad my kids are asthmatic, this chalk wall is a fun idea!
Lovely center worktable.
And, of course, saving the best for last – my most favorite among the featured kitchens!
