Kitchen Makeover, Ugly 1970s Kitchen Gets Amazing

Kitchen Makeover, Ugly 1970s Kitchen Gets Amazing
" Impossible -- A cramped and dysfunctional kitchen gets The crew takes on a twenty year old kitchen makeover. Spaces -- Keeping the features of an ugly kitchen "

When Charles and Jane Long moved from Reno to California a little over two years ago, they rented first in Berkeley but were ultimately looking for a house with open spaces. And they found it. They were immediately drawn to this home‘s 2,500 square feet, the open, vast windows and iconoclastic idiosyncrasies.

That last word was an understatement. Reflecting the former owner’s nautical interest, the house had many nautical details, indulging a hatch you had to climb through and several dark hallways. Not to mention problematic additions, rotting decks, and strange entrances.

And so the Longs got to work stripping the house down to its frame, trying to keep as much as possible while opening up the fantastic views of the San Francisco Bay. Many of the rooms had simply been closed off from the view.

Eight-foot tall sliding doors provide more open passages between the rooms, and is one the many details that gives what was once a major period pieceâ€"hailing from the 1970s when themed houses were de rigueurâ€"a modern, minimalist design.

Repetition in materials and structure throughout the space reinforces this minimalism and, while the Longs probably won’t be repeating this process, per se, the repetition of beautiful materials and vast views won’t get old for a minute.

Before And After: A Gorgeous Zen Bathroom Remodel

Before And After: A Gorgeous Zen Bathroom Remodel " casacullen.com/2009/12/rwd-home-kitchen-redesign-before-and-after almost the same issue during my recent 1960s bath remodel, I house in prime vintage condition and wants to zen " We love when sustainability meets beauty in home renovations. And this Japanese-inspired bathroom remodel in by Weston Miles Architects is a prime example. These before photos show a pleasant enough bathroom with bright color and functional traditional cabinetry, though a small sink space, not-so eco-friendly materials, and dim lighting. This after photo shows an incredible remodel that makes use of traditional materials in a modern aesthetic. The focal point is this Japanese soaking tub that the client wanted, and the room grew around that. The room has been opened up for a step-in shower next to the tub, its warm lichen-green balanced against the natural wood of the tub and wood trim. This beautiful remodel exemplifie...

Prevalence Of And Associated Factors For Dry Eye In A Spanish adult population

To estimate the prevalence of dry eye and to investigate its relationship with lifestyle and systemic factors in a general adult population in north-western Spain. METHODS: A dry eye questionnaire was administered and objective tests were performed in 654 individuals [mean age (Standard deviation): 63.6 (14.4) years, range: 40-96, 37.2% males]. Subjects were considered symptomatic when one or more of the symptoms of the questionnaire were present often or all the time. Schirmer test or= 3 and fluorescein staining >or= 1 were considered indicative of signs. Dry eye was defined as the simultaneous presence of symptoms and at least one sign. A design based analysis was performed and all calculations were weighted to give unbiased estimates. RESULTS: Dry eye prevalence was 11.0% (95%confidence interval [CI] 8.6-13.3). Dry eye was found to be more frequent in women (11.9%, 95%CI 8.8-15.1) than in men (9.0%, 95%CI 5.3-12.6), and was significantly associated with aging (p autoimmune diseas...

Enhanced Skin Blood Flow And Sensitivity to Noxious Heat Stimuliin papulopustular rosacea

Although patients with rosacea often complain of increased skin sensitivity, there has been no quantitative sensory testing of this phenomenon. Furthermore, cutaneous blood flow in these patients has not been assessed using state-of-the-art laser Doppler imaging (LDI). OBJECTIVES: To assess heat pain thresholds and skin blood flow using quantitative thermal sensory testing and LDI in patients with untreated rosacea . METHODS: Of the total 24 subjects enrolled, 8 had papulopustular rosacea (PPR), 8 had erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) and 8 were control subjects. Subjective burning perception, heat pain threshold, skin blood flow, and skin temperature was assessed in all subjects. In the ETR and PPR groups, two areas were compared: affected and nonaffected. RESULTS: Heat pain thresholds of areas affected by rosacea were lower than those of nonaffected areas. In addition, subjective burning perception was increased in rosacea patients when compared with control subjects. Altho...
