Posted by: on August 5th, 2012 | Make A Comment

It’s truly amazing how much stuff we accumulate over time. If you’ve recently moved or helped a friend move, then you know first-hand how rapidly our possessions can grow. So with all that stuff, you need places and containers to store and organize it all. Luckily, our Home Decorators Collection includes a line of stack & store products for just such an occasion.

Home Depot associate Christian Jessel highlights our Home Decorators Collection stack & store cabinets that are fully assembled and can be floor or wall mounted in an open, drawer or double-door design that are perfect for displaying or housing collectibles and antiques. See this great line of storage and organizational products here in this video:


Our First Look series gives Apron Blog readers an inside look by highlighting some of the videos our store associates watch to learn about the new products and services available at The Home Depot.

Inspired: A Copper Kitchen

Posted by: on July 27th, 2012 | Make A Comment

Copper in the kitchen

 

Copper is a tried-and-true kitchen material for several reasons. It’s an exceptional material when it comes to cooking because of its superior heat conductivity. If you’re using copper cookware, your water is likely to boil faster and your dishes will cook more evenly. Copper pots (when lined with tin) can last a lifetime, especially if you take care of them and have them re-tinned when necessary. Copper also adds an Old World, antique feel to any kitchen, whether you’re including a copper range hood, copper cookware, or simple copper cabinet hardware.

Take a look at the items we found to create a beautiful kitchen with copper.

The KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6 quart stand mixer in Copper Pearl was our starting point for the whole kitchen. It combines warm, rich copper with cool stainless steel. We played with this balance of warm and cool throughout the whole space, using mostly cool colors for cabinetry, countertops and walls, but then accenting those cool neutral shades with dramatic pops of copper in the apron front sink, the pot rack, and the vintage-inspired faucet.

Creating a healthy home is a vital component of living a healthier lifestyle and protecting the environment. Eco-friendly homes not only save you money by wasting less, they can also help to improve the health of your family and the environment.

As the kitchen has increasingly become the focal point of many modern homes, serving as a multi-functional living space where families cook, eat, work and entertain, health-conscious homeowners are seeking green, renewable, sustainable alternatives for use not only in the kitchen, but all throughout their home.

In the not too distant future, led by forward-thinking designers like those at the Faltazi Lab who developed the Ekokook kitchen concept (shown above), we may see affordable, intelligent modular solutions for waste management, kitchen health, food storage and radically reduced energy consumption.

Manufacturers are already creating new, eco-friendly kitchen options, from real wood cabinets and flooring, to low-voc paints, water and energy saving faucetslighting and appliances, and kitchen composters are now widely available at prices comparable to most of the conventional choices.
