Tips For A Smarter Kitchen

Just about everyone has some sort of kitchen at home and, from direct experience or from watching cookery programs on TV, we all have a pretty good idea of what a professional kitchen should look like. Assuming that we actually cook in our home kitchen, it is natural that we should wish to emulate at least some of the features of a professional kitchen.

Equipment

From stoves to grills, mixers and a whole host of appliances; we would love to have them all in our home kitchen. But, do we need them and would we actually use them all? Generally the choices of domestic kitchen appliances are made within four limitations:-

1. Our budget.
2. The type of cooking we intend to do.
3. The size of our kitchen area.
4. And, finally, the number of people we are usually cooking for.

From that point on, decisions are relatively easy to make.

Decor

In this respect, decisions can be less easy to achieve. While the four limitations (above) still come into play, we are looking at questions of balancing design, appearance and practicality as well as pure functionality.

Since the prime function of any kitchen is food preparation, it is a must that the place where this is done be totally hygienic. For sure, “things” are going to get spilled in your kitchen and many of them will be wet. Therefore, you should make all kitchen surfaces as easy to clean as possible and this includes the floor and walls as well as tabletops and other working surfaces. You should also choose materials that do not absorb moisture, while being resistant to heat and cleaning chemicals.

Additionally, since you (as the cook) will be spending quite some time in your kitchen and, maybe, you will also eat and even entertain there, you will want the kitchen to be a pleasant looking place. Personally, I feel that the use of Kitchen Tiles In Brooklyn is an ideal way to achieve all the necessities of hygiene, practicality while maintaining a pleasing or, even impressive, appearance for your kitchen.

Good tiles, worktops, appliances, cabinets and other items of kitchen furniture might not make you an excellent cook but they can make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable and healthy.

For the floor, maybe a rustic stone look with non-slip Kitchen Tiles In Brooklyn? Then, maybe ceramic kitchen tiles on the walls with a Mediterranean design theme? Complete the picture with a dark, speckled granite for your kitchen countertops? Your ideas should be your own, these are but mine.

Tiling the Brooklyn Bridge

The Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed in 1883 and it was designed to connect the borough of Brooklyn with the borough of Manhattan. Being the first steel-wire bridge—suspension style—ever constructed and is 1,595 feet long.. The only type of transport able to navigate the Brooklyn Bridge are motor vehicles, but until 1944 there was also an abundance of elevated trains that used to frequent it too, as well as streetcars which were discontinued in 1950. While pedestrians and cyclists are also allowed over the bridge they are cordoned off by separating barriers for the protection of the non-motor vehicle population.

The grand opening brought thousands of spectators and on the very first open day there were 150,300 people who walked across the bridge and 1,800 vehicles.  If that had been today those figures would probably have been doubled and with more vehicles on the road today, most certainly more of those. On the sixth day after the opening a viscous rumor was started, stating that the bridge was about to collapse, owing to a stampede. However, to quash the rumors P.T. Barnum walked Jumbo and twenty-one other elephants across the bridge to prove how stable it was.

Stability and Strength

Brooklyn is home to many older structures and many of those are homes to millions. The insides need to be as strong as the outside and more comfortable. Inside the homes of the Brooklyn people there are some unique and inspired designs, many of which might be inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge itself.  Bathrooms might be covered in ceramic tiles in Brooklyn, but they might also have patterns and designs that take the humble tile and elevate it to great heights in distinction and quirkiness. Using ceramic tiles doesn’t have to limit you to plain old white or granite. You can incorporate some true artistic license when it comes to making up your own designs for your bathroom or kitchen. Think about the inspiration that makes you tick, a favorite structure, building, place, feeling or anything and you can create a pattern or tile mosaic to encapsulate your experience and enjoy in your private surroundings. Tiles are available in many sizes for many purposes and you can choose from a massive range of colors, also.
