Thomas Edison said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, which means that an idea may come easily to you but carrying out the plan takes hard work. The same can be said for designing a kitchen space. There are nearly endless kitchen design ideas, but the execution is where most of the kitchen renovation work happens. And that’s where these tips come in.
Depending on where you live, the water coming to your tap might contain tiny particles, some not even visible to the eye. If these particles reach your digestive system, they can cause health issues.
One of the fastest and easiest ways to clean drinking water is through filtration. Buy a water filter and install it on your tap such that all water coming out is filtered and all dirt and other particles removed.
A couple of months ago Vorwerk contacted me to see whether I’d like to put the Kobold VK200 Cleaning System to the test. Stating that I would find vacuuming easier, enjoyable and most importantly I’d notice how much cleaner my carpets were. With three children in the house (especially the muck monkey also known as Piglet) I need all the help I can get with cleaning especially vacuuming. Piglet spends a large portion of the day playing on the floors around out the house so I want them to be as clean as possible.
Considering how much waste Brits go through every day, and collectively as a year, it is having a catastrophic impact on the natural environment. And what’s most important is teaching our younger and future generation the importance of recycling and waste removal. When we recycle, we reduce the pollution caused by waste, we reduce the need for raw materials and we use much less energy which helps preserve natural resources. Children are very likely to pick up the habit of recycling and the importance of being considerate towards nature if taught from an early age.

The joys of living with three children mean that I am never far from a new spillage, spot or stain appearing somewhere around the house. I love my children dearly, but sometimes I’m sure that they just love to see me scrubbing the carpet where their juice cup slipped from their grasp. Or the no shoes on the carpet rule was flouted yet again (always when they have muddy shoes on!). Add into this mix the run up to Christmas with friends and family joining us to celebrate. More food and drinks consumed around the house and it wouldn’t be Christmas without a square or two of Chocolate for breakfast.
Gone are the times when the kitchen was purely for cooking and washing up. Contemporary kitchens these days are hard-working multi-purpose spaces that act as a social hub where dining, family conversations, and social entertaining takes place. And if the kitchen is the heart of the home, the kitchen island must surely be the heart of the kitchen.
As a child, my mum was a cleaner and we’d always have the scrubbing pads from the buffer hanging from the bath taps were she had been cleaning them ready for her next shift. The house would be filled with the smell of pine disinfectant which I adore to this day. If I’m completely honest I really don’t enjoy cleaning. Although get me in a bad mood and suddenly it is my therapy. The one task I do enjoy is ironing. There is something so satisfying about taking some crumpled and ironing out the creases.
