Download or read book Kitchen Remodelling for Beginners and Dummies written by Lisa H Gregory Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1953, House, "The kitchen is losing one of its four walls." Ensuing decades have unleashed a regular Jericho, to the point where I have a hard time recalling a custom-built house whose kitchen is not integrated into the living area, its walk-around island the Corian (or stainless, or marble) Mecca of family and friends. Growing up, I didn't know anyone with a great room. Our mothers disappeared into smallish, constrained spaces fitted cabinetry above, linoleum underfoot, appliances cheek-to-jowl on the counter and emerged sometime later to announce "Dinner!" (Multiple times, with increasing decibel levels.) Today, the kitchen holds such allure, I have to browbeat guests to move down to the sofa after dinner. As early as the 1930s, Frank Lloyd Wright dubbed the kitchen the "workroom" of the house, and created airy, open-plan designs for House Willey and House Jacobs. The rest of the country caught up about 50 years later, just as women were fleeing hearth and home for the workplace. The larger living area encouraged quality family time, while the perfection of the extractor hood kept the smell of the fish from wafting.
