A kitchen breakfast bar is an area with surface space for eating or cooking and usually with some seating. Building a raised counter on the breakfast bar will increase the surface space available. You could place dishes and eating utensils on the raised counter or use it as a display surface for fruit bowls, flower vases or a centerpiece. Building a raised counter surface yourself allows for customization in size and color. Your finished structure will resemble a long rectangular cube with the sides closed and the front and rear open, and a support in the center.
Adding a breakfast bar to an existing countertop requires a lot less effort than installing the countertop. There is no need to create a stable base of cabinetry when adding a breakfast bar, as there would be when installing a countertop. As long as you have enough room to accommodate the bar and seating, you can use the existing countertop as the support base. Only the bar surface and a few countertop braces are required.
When you're planning a kitchen remodeling project, one factor to consider when designing the new kitchen is your family's eating habits. Breakfast time is often a quick meal eaten before going to work or school for the day, rather than a relaxed, more formal meal. Building a breakfast bar in your kitchen provides a place for your family to eat quick meals or snacks, as well as additional counter space for you to use.
An eat-in bar can offer a convenient space for your family to gather for breakfast or a casual dinner without the need for a dining table. This can help save space, which is particularly important if you have a small kitchen. A half-wall can provide a stable base for an eat-in bar -- you can use the frame of a half-wall to reduce construction time and save on the cost of materials.
Adobe Illustrator default gradients feature a fixed number of sliders within a gradient bar but you can add more sliders to this bar. As you modify a gradient by adding sliders, keep in mind that each additional slider functions as a marker for color transitions that alter the look of a preset gradient. Since sliders represent where colors blend when the gradient is applied, choose hues that make appealing color transitions for best results.
The iPad does not offer a traditional scroll bar that allows you to vertically navigate a Web page or application using it. With a jailbroken iPad device, however, you can install a free application from Cydia called "SliderBar" that will add a vertical scroll bar to the right-hand side of your iPad. Jailbreaking your iPad will void the terms and conditions of your device's warranty.
Blogger is a blogging platform made by Google that can be used as a blog or even as a website. With user-friendly controls, Blogger allows its users to post blog entries, create Web pages, add widgets or add-ons to their sidebars and change the overall layout, including the navigation menu. Most Blogger templates come with a navigational menu installed, but for those that don’t, users can easily change some of the code to add their own. To install a navigation menu add-on or widget, you’ll need to log in to Blogger and enter the design area of your blog.
The CSS "overflow" property setting lets you add a scroll bar to any HTML container. The scroll bar is typically added to a div or iframe tag. These tags contain data, so you can format the display and add scroll bars if the content extends the width or height of the HTML container. You add the "overflow" CSS property in the HTML "style" setting in the tag definition.
FlexBond is a type of dry mortar mix used for setting tiles with highly glossy surfaces like ceramic and glass. This mortar is denser than average mortar and resists cracking while also retaining flexibility to withstand stresses on flooring or structure movement and settling. Although the consistency is different when mixed, the process of installing the FlexBond is no different than with other types of mortar.
A bar top is a counter top that is higher than standard cabinets and designed to allow bar stools to be drawn up to the bar top so that a person can eat or drink at the counter. There is a wide variety of options to consider when designing your bar top, including edge trims, supports, materials, finishes, colors and more. These questions are solved by determining the function of the bar top, the style of the surrounding area and the budget for the installation.
FlexBond is a mortar mix manufactured by Custom Building Products with added polymers used for setting ceramic, porcelain, natural stone and glass tile. Polymer mortars have additives that give them added strength and flexibility. This allows them to move slightly without breaking the bond between the tile and the underlayment. According to Custom Building Products, FlexBond can isolate the tile from cracks up to 1/16 inch wide in the substrate surface, a property usually not attributed to mortars. FlexBond is mixed and spread in a fashion similar to other tile mortars.
The bus bar in your home's electrical panel is the long bar on one or both sides of the panel that contain many of the electrical lines in your home's wiring. The positive (black), or "hot" wires run from the the circuit breakers, while the neutral (white) and ground (bare copper) wires run to the bus bar, completing the circuit. Occasionally the bus bar becomes pitted and worn with time, requiring replacement. You can replace this yourself with some safe work habits and a few hours of time.
Counter space is valuable. A length of counter is like an additional table in a room. If the area under the counter is open, then you can pull up a chair or bar stool and use the counter for an office, for breakfast or as an art center. A counter can be mounted to a wall or to the side of a cabinet to create usable space inexpensively and quickly. It is a good idea to match your new counter with the colors and style of the room where you are placing it.
Hurricane lanterns create an elegant glow to a room's decor, but their prices can seem a little extreme. Make your own hurricane lanterns on stands by repurposing flower vases and candle holders. Vases and candle holders can be obtained frugally at discount stores, thrift shops or yard sales. You may even have a stash of vases from previously delivered flowers. Make several of varying heights for a tabletop vignette or craft them as inexpensive gifts for family and friends.
The electrical panel in your home is the interface between a house's circuitry and the electrical lines from the power company. The power company usually drops three wires. Two are hot and they connect to the panel's brass busses. One is a neutral line and it connects to the silver bus. In addition, panels also include a ground bus that connects to a copper ground stake or some other means of grounding. While the neutral and ground bus bars have screwable lugs for making connections, always connect wires to the hot bus bars by connecting them first to circuit breakers.
Breakfast bar additions on half walls allow home owners to use space in the kitchen area that would otherwise be wasted. Installing a breakfast bar creates a permanent sitting space for individuals to sit down and enjoy breakfast together without having to use a large area of the kitchen to place a table. With some handyman skills and proper measuring, a breakfast bar can be installed in a timely and stress free manner.
The addition of a bar island can completely change the layout of your kitchen. And the bar will give you more space when you entertain. You can make the bar serve two purposes by using it as a prep area or to provide additional storage in the kitchen. Bars are typically 42 inches high. Find cabinets in this height from a cabinet maker. Choose any layout that fits your space and provides you with all the functionality you need. Installing the cabinets in your kitchen will be quick and easy.
A breakfast bar is a rectangular surface in your kitchen for informal meals. It may take the form of an island in your kitchen with a solid base or a simple wooden rectangular table. Decorate and design your breakfast bar using the elements that best suit your home.
The breakfast bar is a convenient addition to a modern kitchen due to its versatility. As the name implies, a breakfast bar can be used for breakfast and other meal, yet it also can be convenient at parties, holding the various hors d'oeuvres and drinks. It also can serve as a good place for family or household members to gather for homework or conversation as a meal is prepared.
No one says a breakfast bar is just for breakfast. It's a place to seat friends or family members while you work facing them from the kitchen. It can be a space where you spread homework or paperwork. In other words, it's a place for living life. For that reason, breakfast bar styles are becoming integrated with the kitchen.
A breakfast bar can add an extra place for family gatherings, socialization and food preparation to your kitchen. Breakfast bars are usually attached to standard height counters, adding usability to the back of a counter separating a kitchen from another room, or making your kitchen island a gathering place for casual dining. When the breakfast bar isn't used for dining, it can be a homework space for kids and teens or an extended space for food preparation. When entertaining guests buffet-style, lay out the food on the breakfast bar for convenient serving that keeps the table areas clear.
Kitchens are a natural gathering place for families and friends to visit and relax. However, providing enough comfortable seating for everyone can be a challenge. A kitchen breakfast bar can provide more seating, additional cabinet storage space and increase available food-preparation area. The kitchen side of the breakfast bar looks like regular base cabinets with a countertop. On the dining room side of the breakfast bar, the countertop extends past the cabinets by a few inches and chairs are placed to create additional seating. Building a kitchen breakfast bar can be completed within a few days and will enhance the…
Thinset is a necessity when installing certain types of tile or repairing concrete. It provides strength and support for installed tile and cleverly disguises cracks and chips in concrete. Flexbond thinset is sold in 50-lb. bags, and mixing it all at once may lead to waste of product and money. Preparing littler amounts will get small jobs done with fewer material expenses. You can mix smaller batches and keep it in a workable consistency. Bringing thinset mortar mixes down to a reasonable size makes them controllable by nearly anyone.
Hurricane lamps are a unique choice in decorating in that they are no longer a necessity in most homes around the world. These lamps, as a result, incite a twinge of nostalgia and conjure up visions of coastal retreats. You can highlight your personal tastes with hurricane lamps, turning them into lovely additions to virtually any room in your home. You can utilize them for their practical functionality or simply for the pleasing aesthetics they add to your décor.
When designing breakfast bar chairs, consider ergonomics and durability. An ergonomic chair evenly distributes the weight to various parts of the body, therefore reducing stress on one particular part of the body. Comfort as well as ease getting in and out of the chair is essential. Heavily used breakfast chairs need to have the capability of withstanding wear and tear. Materials such as padded leather and canvas are very durable. Hard materials such as wood will withstand everyday use while allowing for maximum comfort.
One of the best ways to get the most from the space in the kitchen is to centralize some its functions. Adding a breakfast bar to a kitchen island cabinet helps homeowners use their kitchen space wisely. If the island bar is the location of the range, it adds a cook-and-serve feature to the kitchen that keeps food in a centrally located area. For the sake of precise measurements, our island cabinet is 36 inches wide.
