I am in awe of the showroom-turned-installation that glass artist Helle Mardahl created for 3daysofdesign. I never tire of Zen-like showrooms that are made to resemble real living spaces and place the products in place, but Mardahl has truly made the concept her own. In her own words, “The exhibition invites you to experience the life of an adventurous female traveler who lives in the most luxurious grand suite.” Throughout the journey, we get to see where this fictional character sleeps, how she eats with her dalmatian dog sitting next to her, and what she hides on her dressing table…

She wouldn't have been my daughter if we hadn't had major home renovation work going on late in the pregnancy, but there we were. While pregnant with her and renovating our California home, I remember standing in our dilapidated kitchen, surrounded by the sounds of hammers, drills and no working appliances, when my water broke. History repeats itself. Paige, who is pregnant, called us daily to update us on the progress of the work: The cabinets were installed, but we still needed countertops and appliances. Tick, tock. When Paige and her husband, Adam, bought their first home together in the…

As companies shut down cloud and ghost kitchens, Local Kitchens is proving that its tech-enabled, multi-brand restaurant concept is a business model that works — and it's raising $40 million in new Series B funding for its efforts. Former DoorDashers John Goldsmith, Jordan Bramble and Andrew Monday founded the San Francisco-based company in 2020 to bring food from local restaurants and nationally-known chefs to consumers in Northern California. Local kitchens operate in a similar way to cloud kitchens or ghost kitchens, which are shared workspaces for restaurants to prepare food, often for delivery only.

The latest trend (or counter-trend) seems to be that range cookers are replacing islands as the new focal point of the kitchen.
