Why (and How) a Beautiful Kitchen Means Better Food A kitchen’s first task is functional: It is a place to produce good food with cleanliness and efficiency. But functionality and beauty go hand in hand. We’ve met people who seem afraid to have beautiful things in their cooking spacethey react in shock and dismay when they see paintings or rugs in a busy kitchen. “what if it gets ruined? That’s so nonfunctional!” We couldn’t disagree more. Everything in life decays and wears out eventually. Having something you consider beautiful in the kitchen is a nudge toward enjoying the act of cooking, a reminder that food is more than fuel. A beautiful kitchen also helps us remember to clean regularly. When you enjoy your space, even in some small way, it’s so much more pleasurable to keep it clean. Once you’ve worked on your cooking zones and storage capacity, find creative ways to make beauty and functionality go hand in hand. A kitchen you enjoy is one that will motivate you to nourish your household. Here are a few ways to bring a bit of beauty into even the dingiest of kitchens: Enjoy the beauty of food itself. Heap oranges or persimmons in a dish on the countertop (this also will remind you to eat them promptly!). Tomatoes, onions, even sweet potatoes have an earthy beauty that grounds a kitchen. Store herbs with their cut ends in a shallow glass of water, which will keep them fresh and handy for snipping, as well as add a splash of green to your workspace. Cover ugly countertops with a huge butcher block. If you have a tiny and hideous laminate countertop, cover it up with a hefty cutting board, which is more beautiful and also of course very functional. Hang a vibrant work of art. No backsplash? Frame an inexpensive print and hang it behind the stove. Yes, the glass will get greasy eventually, but it’s easier to clean glass than a painted wall. Line drawers and cabinets with colorful fabric or paper. Apply fabric wallpaper to the backs of your cabinets using fabric starch; the cloth wallpaper is both washable and removable. Line drawers with pretty paper from an art supply store. Enhance the sense of space with a mirror. A big mirror hung on one wall or over the kitchen table reflects light, helps make up for the lack of a window, and increases the feeling of spaciousness. Lay down a rug. You may think it will get irredeemably dirty, but a patterned rug will hide stains and is easy to vacuum

Description:
When it comes to living our everyday life, we often have a routine that we go through each day. When it comes to tasks like cooking, cleaning, working, etc. we have certain ways that we do things that we probably learned from our parents and relatives. Most of us think that the way we do things is good and doesn’t need a change from the regular routine. But, we are wrong most of the time. There are easier ways to do simple tasks that don’t require purchasing fancy products or hiring someone to complete a job for us.
Thanks to the Internet, the term “life hack” or “hack” has gone viral thanks to people who are able to exchange ideas and tricks that can be used by anyone to make life easier. For example, are you tired of your bacon shrinking as you cook it? Try running the raw bacon under cold water before putting it on the frying pan. Is your Wi-Fi signal weak? Cut the ends off of a beer can, then cut the middle in half, and place it around your Wi-Fi antenna. Your signal will strengthen. So, not only can you enjoy a beer, but you’ll get a better Internet connection. It’s a win-win for all! Or do you have a furry friend who constantly leaves their hair on your nice rug or carpet? You don’t need to pay for expensive vacuums or lint rollers to take care of the issue. Instead, just grab a pair of rubber gloves and you can lift that hair off the ground nice and easy.
Do you love bananas but can’t eat them fast enough before they rot? Try wrapping plastic or foil around the stems. This will prevent the bananas from rotting at their usual pace and will actually make your bananas last longer. This is just an example of the many amazing life hacks that help you not only make your life easier, but even save you some money. Speaking of making life easier, do you have a major paint project in the works and not looking forward to dealing with those messy paint cans? Then wrap a rubber band around the open paint can, and run your brush over it after each dip. Not only will this keep your work station cleaner, but it will also help you to not waste paint that gets let behind in the pan.
There are so many more hacks that will make your life much easier. For example, do you deal with inconvenient static cling after you get your clothes out of the dryer? Then put a ball of foil inside, and you won’t need to worry about your hair getting crazy from that sweater. Tired of drinking bitter coffee? Add a pinch of salt.
These are just a few amazing life hacks that you’ll see in this video. Many of them make so much more sense and it will make you wonder why you never implemented these hacks into your life sooner.
