Tuscany modern kitchen

Italian and Spanish cultures are intertwined, particularly in Southern Italy, which was part of Spain until War of the Spanish Succession in the early 1700s. Even the languages sound very similar. Therefore, it would make sense that there is a similarity between the Tuscany and Spanish Revival themes from Wm Ohs original cabinet program called the Theme Stylings collection. These timeless designs were captured beautifully and are available at Today’s Kitchens.

The biggest similarity in the Tuscany and Spanish Revival kitchen styles is the perfect balance between light and darkness. Light-colored woods along with pale paints and tiles are brilliantly contrasted with deep-colored accents, such as furniture, light fixtures, and accessories. Combining light and dark hues provides a high-contrast effect that can define a room’s features. The lighter colors dominate, providing a light and airy appearance. The room feels warm and comfortable and the dark pieces provide bursts of clarity and focus.

The Tuscany kitchen design makes excellent use of worn wood, giving the appearance of years of use and a storied history. The detailed, raised moldings on doors and panels offer an ornate design that is unique and elegant.

The Spanish Revival kitchen style offers signature finishes such as Saguaro and etched ivory to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the proper use of textures and elaborate tile designs bring the traditional look and feel of Spain to your kitchen.

Both the Tuscany and Spanish Revival kitchen themes from Today’s Kitchen bring Old World charm to you. As always, the kitchen themes utilize only the best resources – solid cabinetry, high-quality finishes, and custom designs. You will be assured of a beautiful, authentic-looking kitchen that takes you to Europe with each step into the room.

Minimal Kitchen

Sometimes we race through life, working to earn money to spend it on items that we don’t ever use. Setting goals for your life will center you on where you need to be now to get to where you see yourself in ten or twenty years. Gina Parris, a blogger and life coach (http://www.ginaparris.com), recommends making a timeline of your life to help you get to your future. Write down important events in the last ten years and then expected events in the next ten, including major birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries. Then fill in where you would like to be – a new house, a new job, ten pounds lighter, back to school, or whatever goals you might have. If you know where you want to be, it is easier to set a course towards it, rather than floating aimlessly.

This idea can also apply to your current life and living conditions. Is the “stuff” in your life overwhelming you? Do you spend too much time organizing and cleaning up? Then maybe it is time to reconsider your goals. If you can remove the clutter, you’ll end up spending more time doing what you want rather than sorting through the excess. If it’s not something you use regularly, then throw it out or donate it. Resolve not to bring in new items that will become clutter. Do you really need that item, or are you only getting it because it is a bargain? If you make the right choices, your home will be clutter-free and you will be stress-free.

The Minimal contemporary kitchen offered by Today’s Kitchens is completely functional while utilizing the minimalist style. Light, clean, and simple with a bold and exciting feel. The integrated handles for the cabinets and drawers add to the effortless beauty. Select from an array of different woods, finishes, and other materials to make the Minimal contemporary kitchen your own.

There’s a new type of cooking surface in town – and in today’s new kitchens: the induction cook top. A relatively recent innovation, the induction cook top is a great new option for people considering a kitchen renovation or just replacing a cook top or a range. But many people don’t have much experience with, or know much about them. Induction cook tops work by generating a magnetic field that heats cooking vessels made of ferromagnetic metal (pots and pans that magnets will stick to). Read more…
