Yes, that question mark in How to Make a Craftsman Kitchen is
intentional. This was one of the odder articles I've
written. I began with that kingpin of all
Craftsman-style houses, the Gamble House of Pasadena,
CA. Using that as a model for what your Craftsman
kitchen should look like, I found... Well, I found I was greatly
disappointed. First of all, like other kitchens of
rich people at that time, the kitchen was strictly functional and
for the "help."Â This kitchen was big, dark, and had
lots of practical-and-uninspiring elements. In our age
of live-in, work-in, entertain-in kitchens, clearly this would not
fly. So, I had to use my imagination and craft a...

Kitchen Tile Ideas - A Few Surprises Here
When I was looking for some kitchen tile ideas, I found a few
unexpected things: There is such a thing as ready-to-hang kitchen
tile backsplashes. These are made by Broan and fit
well behind almost any stove. They look quite good,
too. This eliminates mortaring, tile cutting,

same-sized kitchen floor tiles just by introducing a tile of
another size. For instance, 12" square and 1...
4 Kitchen Remodeling Ideas
It's hard to write about kitchen remodeling ideas simply because
there are so many out there. So, I've limited these few steps to
the simple, inexpensive ones. Â You won't find pricey,
hard-to-do things like installing new flooring or cabinets; rather,

backsplashes. Not only that, we find a kitchen that daringly
incorporates an accent wall, something you normally find in living
rooms or bedrooms. Image: Â Amerock4 Kitchen Remodeling

Farmhouse Kitchen Sinks: More Than "Glorified Laundry Basins"?
My first impression of farmhouse kitchen sinks, years ago, was that
they were little more than fancy laundry sinks. After
all, they are big featureless tubs designed to maximize space at
the cost of style. Of course, I was wrong. Farmhouse kitchen sinks
have really taken hold on the remodeling market in the last decade
or so. They let you fit huge pans or stacks upon
stacks of dishes, and the front part (the apron) looks kind of cool
alongside the kitchen cabinetry. Because farmhouse sinks are not
the typical drop-in (rimless) or undermount variety, they do
require a different installation technique. They must
be supported from below, and essentially they repre...
