Where do you keep your recipe box? Is it in a drawer or possibly on the counter top? What about the great new set of cookbooks you just bought; where on earth will they go? The kitchen cabinets are probably filled with pots and pans and the pantry with canned goods. It just seems like there is never enough storage in the kitchen.
Bookshelves might be a great addition to your kitchen cabinets to increase storage space. Some units are designed with shelving below and additional counter space on top. There are shelving units with glass fronts so you can view your books.
Let’s face it; rewriting those recipes to fit in the box gets tougher as we get older. Wouldn’t it be great to have a dedicated book shelf in your kitchen to display the actual cookbook and have it close at hand? Consider the addition of this type of cabinet shelving for your kitchen. It can be a great way to get additional storage without spending a lot of money.
DirectBuy has a wide array of choices when it comes to kitchen cabinets for your kitchen. You’ll find great styles and design options to help you create the kitchen that fits your lifestyle.

Kitchen Cabinets Basics
Kitchen cabinets have always been important, not only to organize and keep things nice and neat in the kitchen, but also as a main design feature for the whole house.
With the growth of kitchens and kitchen appliances the kitchen cabinets have transformed themselves too, to fid the modern requirements of kitchens, more space to hold more electric kitchen appliances, and better durability are the main features of kitchen cabinets.
Where you place your kitchen cabinets will impact how efficient your kitchen is.
Most women and men who enjoy cooking will profess to the fact that they don’t have enough cabinet space, even though this can be a problem always, and in every kitchen, you can pick a kitchen cabinet plan that utilizes your space so you make the most of every corner, thus making your kitchen perfectly adjustable to your needs.
A well designed kitchen is one of the most attractive features a home can have. It can be of a sleek, modern design or something that is completely old fashioned. Whatever the case, quality kitchen cabinets are essential in creating the ultimate kitchen.
Researching kitchen cabinets on the internet is an excellent way of finding out what you need to get going, and how much its going to cost you, it doesn’t take long until you will understand the basic cost and requirements. There are a lot of websites devoted to home design. There are even places where you can design your own virtual kitchen complete with your own quality kitchen cabinets. Another way to generate some hot ideas is to visit your local bookstore and raid the magazine section.
Home design magazines are all over the racks these days because people really love to upgrade their homes. You can flip through them and find something that really catches your eye with regard to quality cabinets.
Many stores have entire sections devoted to quality cabinets. While you might not find the exact ones that you want to put into your kitchen, you can get an idea of what is out there. All you have to do is find a creative contractor and have him draw up the plans.
My suggestion is to work closely with the contractor to ensure that the cabinets that are installed are quality cabinets.
When looking for quality pricing is always an issue, but experience has teacher us that sometimes looking around can get you good results, quality doesn’t always mean that you will have to overpay. I hope that this has provided you with sufficient information about kitchen cabinets and that you will find it fun to shop and plan them, and enjoy your cabinets for many years. Good luck.

How to Use Concrete in a Traditional Kitchen
Concrete's use in kitchens and bathrooms may still be considered relatively "modern" design-wise by the standard homeowner. But while concrete can be used to create a modern or minimal look, it's also perfectly adaptable to a more traditional setting — where it was so extensively used in the first place.
Concrete can act as a substitute for more traditional materials. Rather than just using concrete to explicitly re-
create something from the past, you can also combine it with other elements to suggest a timeless quality. In my work, I always strive to strike a balance between innovation and emotion, between spare contemporary and warm traditional. Adding mosaic tile along the front edge of a concrete surface, inlaying bits of tile along a backsplash, or even embedding a fossil in a countertop all connect us to the past.
A California cottage we renovated recently moved from "traditional" to "transitional". A large concrete curved wall/counter boldly separates the living room from the kitchen. Meanwhile, a stainless steel integral sink countertop straddles one wall— yet, by inlaying glass tiles into the backsplash and inserting a traditional plate holder in the cabinetry, enough balance is achieved to avoid a conflict of styles.
Let’s take a turn-of-century "Craftsman" style kitchen for a hypothetical example. The cabinets would most likely be frame-and-panel with flush inlay doorframes. There would be wood wainscoting in the dining area and perhaps tile around a single porcelain sink. The lighting fixtures might have beveled glass or echoes of Tiffany lamps. What concrete application would be appropriate in this situation? I would look into one or more of the following ideas in combination:
1. Choose an earth tone color or natural gray. No bright colors.
2. Keep the front face, or thickness, of the countertop at a minimum of 2-1/2" to 5".
3. Inset "panels" into the front face of the countertop to reflect the cabinet doors. These panels would be no deeper than 3/8" and would measure approximately 1/3" to the height of the front face, or
4. Recess the appropriately sized or proportioned ceramic tiles with some embossing on them into the face of the countertop or into a cast backsplash. Allow the recess to be at least 1/4" in depth.
5. Mosaic tiles in groups of four separated by 1/8"-1/4" spacing could be placed on the countertop surface as inlaid "trivets" next to the stove burners. (In the mold, they would be placed face down on the bottom of the form.)
6. Line the drain board into the sink with tile or marble.
Now I wouldn't want to use all of the above accents — just enough to carry a complementary flavor to the Craftsman look and feel. The concrete itself is earthy enough to carry that load. It's up to you as a homeowner or designer to add the touch that personalizes and enhances the piece. In some cases, for instance, the overwrought "traditional English manor" kitchen, usually full of elaborate detailing, can use a touch of restraint — the concrete counter with a simple ogee edge detail and a complementary white porcelain farm sink might just be perfect.

You can update your kitchen by incorporating new kitchen design trends by refacing your existing kitchen cabinets.

But, with kitchen cabinet refacing you have all the advantages of a big custom remodel, such as better storage and improved functionality, but without the more expensive price tag. Renovating doors and refacing kitchen cabinets comes in at a fraction of the cost of having a whole new kitchen installed or even having new cabinets and doors installed.

Decorating a Country Style Kitchen
A kitchen could be aptly considered the "meat and potatoes" of your home. It's where everyone comes together to eat and talk. It's where a lot of families will sit down and discuss their days. And it is also the place most heavily visited when having a party. If you're looking to add some country cheer to your kitchen, the following article will tell you how to accomplish this goal.
A country style kitchen has a lot of early American character. Farm found animals are very popular in this setting. Usually one animal is chosen and focused on for decoration. There might be roosters, cows, pigs, or chicks strategically placed in different parts of the room. Another chosen theme may be the colors of this country. Family is certainly important in this particular design style as well so there may be a family tree on display or alternately, there may be photos of family members placed in different parts of the room.
A country style kitchen is typically an eat-in kitchen where the kitchen table is placed within the kitchen itself. There is usually no formal dining room included in this setting; therefore, the table itself becomes part of the decor. The table will be made of a hard solid wood such as oak. A nice country touch on a table would be visible knots from the trees that the table was made out of. The kitchen table's chairs will also be made of hard wood, have high backs, and usually a padded decorated seat. Other furniture may include a china cabinet and/or hutch in addition to a buffet that may be used for serving a buffet style meal.
Accessories found in this kitchen will most likely follow the chosen pattern. For instance, if you've chosen to decorate with roosters, then many of the accessories will be in the shape of a rooster. There are cookie jars, hot pads and trivets, toaster covers, and a host of other accessories that can be designed into what you've chosen for your theme in your kitchen. If that's not enough, there will most likely be art displayed on the walls that will match the already discussed accessories. Unity and coherence will be shown through the use of the accessories and pictures that will adorn your kitchen. Some items will be functional and others will simply be pleasing to the eye, but they should all match your chosen theme.
A country style kitchen is one with a long history. It's an old favorite and still enjoyed by many. With the right items and time and effort, your kitchen will be mulling along so peacefully you might actually be tempted to use that butter churn that you bought for decor.

Getting Your Kitchen Organized
Kitchens can become cluttered quite quickly. They hold the most appliances, have the most use, and nowadays, attract the most people. If your kitchen is serving as a family center, the need to organize it becomes even more important. You will want to keep a kitchen that organized your pantry goods, your tableware, your cooking utensils, and appliances. A good kitchen design is well worth the investment.
Pantries
To organize your foodstuff, you will want at least one good-sized pantry. If this is not enough, you may end up getting some additional cupboard space by buying a stand-alone pantry. Instead of just piling the cans in, you need to organize the pantry to find things when you need them and to understand when you are low on something.
A good way to divvy up the space is thus: canned vegetables, canned fruits, pastas, rice, and grains, sweeteners (sugar, honey, molasses, artificial sweeteners), jams, canned meats and tuna, dried foods, legumes, condiments, snacks. Imagine that your pantry is a miniature grocery store. The same way they categorize their foods is the same way you should categorize your pantry. Put the newest additions in the back and push older foodstuff forward. If you can't see everything, there are rectangular steps you can add to store at different heights.
Tableware
Hopefully, you have enough cabinet space to store your day-to-day dishes. If you have special festive plates or china, think about storing those outside your kitchen or hanging them on a wall for display. They shouldn't be crowding your kitchen cabinets. Store like with like. All glasses should be in one cupboard. All cups should be on another shelf in the same area. Silverware should always be stored in a wide drawer with a silverware caddy. It should be easy to reach from the counter or stove.
Cooking Utensils
Many people make the mistake of putting these in junk drawers. Kitchen utensils, like pots, can make a very decorative statement while being functional. Store them next to the stove in decorative cups or vases. If your cookware is very pretty or prestigious, think about hanging it from hooks along a wire mesh wall. Another way to display that cookware is on a hanging pot and pan rack.
Appliances
The key to storing appliances is not to have to many useless appliances in the first place. Not that many people are gourmet cooks who need a fondue pot or an espresso maker. Store the rest under your kitchen cabinets, in the spots that are hard to reach. That way you can make use of these places without having to reach into them everyday. Organizing your kitchen can be as traditional or as quirky as you want it to be. You can get magnetic borders and store your silverware in plain view, if that appeals to your sense of taste. You can install lazy Susans for ease of access. You can hide it all away, or you can bring it all out and make it a decorative feature. There are no rules for organizing your kitchen as long as it works for you and your family.
