Open kitchens @patrycjaarchitect


patrycjaarchitect
Since open kitchens, whether with island or peninsula, are more and more popular, COLORS and STOOLS are very important pieces to highlight the #style we want to achieve in our kitchen – dinning-leaving room space.

In this project in order to highlight the beautiful off white cabinets, we decided to go for a dark grey color on the background.

Stools are perfect to put the touch of color, design or combination of materials and textures that help us decorate so much.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING THEM?

⚜️Be careful with the height !! You might don’t know it, but there are three standard heights:
– the low one which is for a table,
– the middle one, which is used for the countertops, whether they are islands or peninsulas, which have the normal countertop height (about 90cm) and …
– the high of bar, these are designed for countertops with a much higher height, as a concept of bar.

⚜️Take care that there is a separation of about 30cm with the bar, so that you can fit your legs in !!!

⚜️If you are going to have a lot of jogging, make sure that the material is easily cleaned, such as polypropylene, leatherette, or if we want them made of fabric, that it is stain-resistant.

⚜️ And finally, if they are going to be used by children, older people or we are going to spend many hours in them, better with backrest !!!

HOW ARE YOUR STOOLS? AND WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?

Black Cherry Oatmeal Bars Recipe

blck ch oat bars tw 28416

Oatmeal bars (or just oats in general) are great for boosting your energy and giving you a much-needed top up of fibre, known to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. And apart from being full of health-benefits, added with flavours of cinnamon and vanilla, these oatmeal bars make a tasty snack to eat on the go anywhere.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (226g) unsalted room temp butter
  • 2 x 2/3 cups of white sugar
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp grounded cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 big jar black cherry preserve

Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF / 175ºC.
  2. Grease a baking pan (I used a 20 x 20 cm / 8 x 8 in) with butter and leave to the side.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar together really well.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  5. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the baking pan.
  6. Spread the preserves over it in an even layer.
  7. Crumble the remaining mixture, with your hands, over the raspberry preserves.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  9. Cool completely before cutting.

If you can’t get hold of any Black Cherry preserve then it’s just as easy to make your own – if not easier as you don’t need to leave the house! All you need is pitted black cherries, sugar and lemon. Glaze the cherries with sugar and leave for a couple of hours then simmer on a low heat for 1 hour.
