I couldn’t resist the title and the philosophical tone of this post. Here’s an email from Rosemarie:
“I haven’t been able to find this information on your blog, but I am new to it – any suggestions or taboos for hanging a pot rack in a semi open concept Kit, DR, LR area? I love the idea, and had a wrought iron rack custom made for my copper pots, but now I think maybe it will look cluttered.”
I get to be the advisor on “the secret to life” so here goes:
 BellacorSure, there may be some pros and cons as well as ideas and suggestions about the best way to display a pot rack in your situation, or if it even should be displayed.
Better yet is to do this: Be flexible. In this case, we are not talking about a permanent fixture or design element that truly is a decision which you may have to live with for many years to come. I highly recommend that, especially since it is custom made, you hang it where you originally felt it should be. There is no right or wrong answer…the answer is do you [...]

What’s the latest in general overhead lighting for kitchens? What 3 products do you like and why?
As trends in style, décor and technology evolve, so do the myriad of products available in today’s marketplace. This can often lead to confusion for homeowners and designers in choosing the appropriate type of lighting. When choosing overhead lighting, it’s easy enough to be persuaded emotionally to a particular fixture or design, however the foremost thoughts should be on task, design, function and longevity.
Recessed cans are often regarded today as being old and bulky, and ready for something new. This might hold true if you currently have 6” or 8” recessed cans with standard white or black [...]

This would be the first Falmec downdraft vent. Thanks to the smooth E-motion system, the fully motorised ventilator goes quietly up to extract the unwanted fumes and odours. Once the work is done, it slides into the worktop for a discreet seamless look. All you have to do is to press that button twice. Ideal for the island installed cooktops and for those who do not like range hoods hovering over head.
Falmec downdraft vent is equipped with quiet perimeter suction system and high performance aluminum blower that is capable of reaching 1,000 m³/h extraction rate. You can also turn on its unique 24-hour air purification mode with the extractor running on its lowest speed for an hour, stopping for the next 3 hours, and then returning to its lowest speed for another hour. Do not forget to turn it off, otherwise the cycle will be repeated. Scotch brite stainless steel, white or black tempered glass top, 8 watt neon lighting, 43 dBA noise level, touch controls. Falmec.
This 90cm wide Miele kitchen hood becomes a decorative piece after it fulfills its main purpose, to keep your air clean and fresh with the help of 4-speed blower which is capable of reaching 640 m³/h with ducted installation. But it is dramatic, colour changing LED lights which pass through 196,000 shades that really make this wall mounted hood an object of desire for many chefs. The kitchen hood that can be installed in recirculated mode as well, as long as you get a conversion kit and use a charcoal filter, also comes with Miele Con@ctivity feature that provides link between hood and hob, ensuring that the hood is automatically adjusted according to the hob usage, and 5 to 15 minute run on with auto switch-off which takes care of the most persistent lingering odours and smoke. Other features of Miele DA 6290 W Lumen include washable stainless steel grease filters, bright halogen lighting with dimmer function, electronic push button controls for power settings, lighting and run-on, separate switch to turn the light independently over the cooker hood, grease and filter saturation indicators. Designed to work with induction and electric hobs, should [...]
