    Remodelista Reconnaissance: Shaker (Ish) Peg Rails in an Upstate Kitchen

    August 16, 2023 - By 

    Shaker peg rails have been saving our summer sanity (and year-round sanity, for that matter) since we first wrote about them a decade ago. (You can read that original article right here.) Once we realized what they could do for keeping a room in order, there was no going back. The original Shaker designs are timeless, though we love when modern makers offer their take on the design. For example, spotted recently: The Sighting Above: Spied in Emma Tuccillo’s 1700s Cookspace in Hastings on Hudson, Inspired by a Painting: A petite peg rail in one corner of the kitchen. The…

    In the design world, at least as seen through the lens of the internet and social media, we’re so used to “perfect.” There doesn’t seem to be much room for “realistic” or even “good enough for now.” But the truth is, most of our homes do not look like all the photos hanging out in our saved folders and Pinboards. I’m guessing at least 75% of those of you reading don’t have kitchens plucked straight from the pages of Domino. A good majority of your cook spaces are likely just…normal. Maybe even—gasp—a bit dated. I myself am renting a property…

    The Benefits of Using Brass for Hardware

    August 14, 2023 - By 

    Brass is a popular material for use in hardware such as handles, locks, and hinges. There are several reasons why brass is a good choice for use in these applications. One reason is that brass is a strong and durable material. It is resistant to corrosion and rust, which makes it ideal for use in damp or wet environments. This means that brass hardware can withstand regular use and exposure to the elements without losing its strength or functionality. Another reason to use brass for hardware is its aesthetic appeal. Brass has a warm, golden color that adds a touch…

    Barbie and the Enduring Popularity of Pink

    August 10, 2023 - By 

    Ok – Barbiecore has taken over the world at the moment – we’re awash in PINK! As a woman “of a certain age” Barbie has always been a part of my world since I received hand-me-down original Barbies from my older girl cousins.  My Mom was not a doll person and not a pink person so I sadly did not have a collection of the fabulous Barbie fashions and accoutrement.  No Barbie Malibu Dream house for me (btw – did you know there is a human scale Malibu Dream House on Air BnB?). Sadly none of my Barbies made it…
