Are these custom spice jars?

5 years ago

This is beautiful! Unfortunately the visual match is worthless. What are these spice jars and where can they be purchased, please? Seeing this made me sit up straight as I just converted all my spices to 4 oz. ball canning jars.

We bought the jars from a company called Hettich and bespoke made the drawer to suit the jars.

Aging-Gracefully-In-Place: Tips for reno or new builds

Good morning to Dorset from Scotland! My husband had a birthday last week and is now saying we're 'pushing 60'. We're active and fit, lol, but sensible too-the day will come sooner rather than later when one or both of us is not able to claim to be spry. Because the little cottage is in such a sad cosmetic state it was listed at a rather amazing price and we locked ourselves into it too early thinking it was a perfect spot for us to grow old. Whoops, thanks to several posts here about doing a reno or new build with a mind to age-in-place we are having to admit that is not the house for us. Luckily the town is the 'gateway to the glens' and if we wanted to use it as a holiday let we could easily. It's also becoming a commuter town-the hardier type people from Dundee and Aberdeen are buying in to take advantage of the great mountain lifestyle whilst being able to easily commute to their 'day job'. We were not looking for an investment property-not especially keen on the idea but more and more we're thinking that's what we've got. We measured the borrowed wheel chair, and also took the measurements of the typical mobility devices available now (the ones that are adverted as being in-outdoors), and frankly held up against the kitchen and bath measurements, there is no way we can make the bathroom work. Up thread (I think it was Deborah Butler of Brickwood Builders) a wet-room was mentioned as being best to accommodate a roll-in shower but hard to do as a reno project. Looking at the floor-plan, home report, and our own measurements confirmed that on this wee cottage-there is no way to do that and no way a wheelchair or mobility device is going to be rolled in that cupboard size bathroom. The kitchen could be managed if we drop the pantry wall idea, but the bathroom we planned to make a shower room is not manageable at all, and there is no room to extend that space. We would have figured all this out but much further down Reno Road, lol, so this thread has been a huge help to us just on that! Because we're now doing a much simpler reno (dropping the wider doorways and sliders, the ramp, and a few other a-i-p doings), the cost to renovate that lovely wee home is much lower too. The only things we won't be able to do ourselves is the shower conversion and the rewiring. A huge savings that we're going to need to find the right place for us! We know now that we need to look for a home with room to enlarge bathroom and kitchen areas, and with a less tricky entry to incorporate a ramp. For starters:) We have to be out of our current home by 1st August when the new owners will be arriving from Australia. We've borrowed the use of a caravan from friends to live in whilst doing the cottage reno (now that's small space living!) and that's going to be a help but I sure wish I'd joined Houzz sooner! I would have started this thread BEFORE locking into a property too small for our needs. Too, rather than use it as a holiday let or sell it on, we may move into the cottage once the reno is complete but we do know now there is no way we'll be able to age-gracefully-in-place in it. Sigh. Oh well, our builder is happy-he wasn't keen on trying to fit those sliding doors:) Take-Away For the Day? Be sure the property has room to expand vital living spaces before making an offer that is sure to be accepted:(

POLL: How do you keep your kitchen knives?
Q
Comments (15)
We keep all of our sharp knives in their own drawer, which has a magnetic bar to keep them in place and to stop them from rubbing on each other and losing their edge. I can't bear too much clutter out on the worktop. Besides, if a murdering maniac bursts in, I don't want to make it too easy for him. I'd like to think by the time, he's opened all the drawers to find the knives, the police will have arrived. LOL

Freestanding Pantry Design
Q
Comments (8)
I think the best way to approach this is to consider what you need to store, in what quantities and what sizes? Do you have lots of cans/sauce jars/cereal boxes? What do you use most frequently? Make sure these items are the most easily accessible and preferably on open display so you're not hunting in drawers or behind other stuff. I think pantries often work best when they're not too deep so you don't loose things towards the back. Though the ones that have storage within the doors are good for making sure everything stays accessible. I would suggest going for a pale wood interior to try and cut down on dark corners where things get forgotten. Or consider adding LED lights than turn on when the door is opened. Do consider if you have tall pasta jars, oil bottles, wine, a coffee maker or other unusual shapes etc that you want to store. Also decide early on if it would be helpful to have a plug socket built in. Don't just choose something because it looks nice or works for someone else - make the most of the opportunity to completely customise this to fit your buying and cooking habits and that of your family. For example if there's small kids in the house do you want space lower down they can easily grab bits from? If you have a tall and fairly empty bookcase at home you can even try approximately mapping where to put everything you usually buy on this.

Kitchen Layout Challenge!
Q
Comments (18)
As a rare freebie ... We've had a look at this for you. Given that we don't know your exact location - we have designed this to be in line with the UK guidelines for safety. If you aren't in UK then please have this checked by a local designer to double check it is complicit in your region before you proceed with any order etc. If you swap out your radiator for a myson kickspace hydronic (or similar) radiator under sink (and providing window ledge high enough) we worked out you could safely fit a kitchen layout like this in - with a freestanding chopping block or prep table on the wall under the artwork (or could be a tv ) ... given the wedge shape of this room it would be prudent to have infills to the ends of the runs - as we have done. This allows you a standard sized FF, DW and cooker and a 400mm pantry cabinet or pull out. Together with a mix or drawer and cabinet storage. Dependent on the type of boiler you have you may be able to conceal it behind a furniture door (as long as you keep it ventilated ) We've made sure there's adequate room to cabinets and drawers to open in their designated spaces, as this can be a problem with curved or angled rooms. If you take your sized floor plan and this to any reputable dealer - they should easily be able to work out the sizing we used as it's all standard ! We suggest you shop around ! Please do not go with your earlier post placing a tall pantry cabinet directly next to the gas cooker as this is a fire risk! A professional kitchen design is always something you should consider, as not only is this a considerable investment in your home, you will be living with any errors for a long time ! If you prefer to save time while you shop around - a freelance design design service, like we provide, can enable you to take one layout to several places so that you can realistically compare like for like. [this is an example of our iPad design service option D and is usually charged at £35 per hour. The software is very basic and so is indicative of concept design rather than an absolute representation ]
