I Write In Planners and Make Lists and Still Have No Idea What's Going On Funny Kitchen Towel
I write in Planners and make lists and still have No Idea what's going on funny Flour Sack white kitchen towel is a perfect unique gift for your favorite person that makes lists. This towel also makes a great housewarming gift, birthday gift or just because! The writing color will vary, as the kitchen towels are already packaged, if there is a certain writing color that you would like to request, please add in comments and we will do our best to try to honor your request.
Flour sack dish towels are called “flour sack” because they are modeled after the thin cotton bags that flour and grain used to be packed in, which were re-used as towels. The thin cotton yarn and the looser weave make for a towel that’s extra absorbent. You can even air dry your salad greens; the super absorbent nature of flour sack towels makes them great for drying delicate greens. Also, flour sack towels are lint free! Which means no more fuzzies on your wine glasses when you wipe them dry!
Flour sack towels are also softer and significantly larger than a standard kitchen towel….and more towel is always a good thing! You can use these towels for drying, wiping, cleaning, or dusting and they can be used for fun decorations.
Each flour sack kitchen towel measures 28 in. x 29 inches (Product dimensions L x W x H – 28 x 29 x 29 inches). They are 100% cotton, durable and absorbent. These are flat woven towels; they are perfect for cooking or baking and can safely be used around food such as covering dough for rising or as a food strainer. These towels also double as a kind of strainer or cheese cloth; the fine weave means you can strain sauces and broths through a flour sack towel to clarify them. Flour sack kitchen towels are sturdy, highly absorbent, dry quickly, and are designed to stand up to most any cleaning job. The towels easily withstand frequent washings and are made for repeated daily use.
The flour sack kitchen towel is a quality item with versatility and utility, we offer everyday designs and special occasion designs. Our flour sack towels are a great gift idea and very inexpensive!
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, no bleach, no softener. Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Tumble dry low.
Due to different light settings the actual color might vary a bit from the pictures.

[ID: One puffy circle of bread, and three which have been halved to show an internal pocket, on a striped blue and white kitchen towel. End ID]
خبز الكماج / Khubiz al-kmaj (Palestinian flatbread)
Khubiz al-kmaj is a thin flatbread with an internal pocket. It is commonly eaten with breakfast to scoop up dips such as hummus, used to eat stews, served alongside main dishes, and used to make sandwiches and to wrap falafel. "خُبْز," pronounced "khubz" or (in Levantine varieties of Arabic) "khubiz," comes from the root خ ب ز (kh-b-z), which also produces the word "خَبَزَ" "khabaza" (Levantine: "خَبَز" "khabaz"), "to bake."‎
This bread is eaten across the Levant and in Greece, with slight differences in terminology and style. It is variously called "خُبْز العَرَبِيّ" (khubz al-'arabiyy; Arabian bread), "خُبْز "البَلَدِيّ (khubz al-baladiyy; bread from my country), or (occasionally) "خُبْز البيتة" or "البيتا" (khubz al-bita), a borrowing from "pita." ("Pita" itself is perhaps from Greek "πίτα" "pita," or the modern Hebrew "פיתה.") The bread is referred to as "khubiz al-kmaj" in Palestine, from the Turkic "kömeç" / كُمَجْ‎ ("bread baked in ashes"). The collective term for the bread in general is كماج (kmāj); each individual piece of bread is referred to with the singulative "كماجة‎" (kmāja).
Today, kmaj is frequently made with white flour; some people add olive oil or milk powder to ensure a very soft dough. Leila el-Haddad writes that a more traditional method omits milk and uses whole white spring wheat, a whiteish wheat grain harvested in late spring and ground without removing the bran.
Since the late 20th century, many Palestinian households have used an electric cooker (طنجرة الكهرباء; ṭanjara al-kahrabā') to cook kmaj, placing one kmaja inside of the chamber and one on top and allowing both to bake at the same time. These aluminum and tin cookers, which were invented in Gaza and became popular there during the first intifada in the late 1980s, are designed to route electricity through a metal pipe or spiral wire on the underside of their lids, heating both the top and the inside of the cooker simultaneously.
The cookers' popularity can be attributed in part to a curfew that Israel imposed on Gazan refugee camps during the intifada, supposedly in an attempt to restrict the movements of resistance fighters. Refugees in the Jabalia camp in the north, for example, unable to afford home stoves, and without the necessary outdoor space to make familial clay ovens, would have to wait in line for hours every day to get bread from shared ovens, risking curfew violations; household electric cookers were far more convenient. The success of local industry and innovation in the form of Gazan-manufactured technology was also symbolically and strategically important during the first intifada, in which Palestinians employed strikes and boycotts (largely organized by women) of Israeli companies and goods as a strategy of resistance to occupation.
An electric cooker is still today considered a very important tool, as it spares families the need to purchase kmaj (the price of which was soaring compared to the cost of flour in the 2010s, and which was often of inferior quality compared to what could be made at home). They are frequently given as wedding or housewarming presents. Lack of access to electricity, though, imposes a limiting condition on the usage of these cookers, as Israel has for over a decade strangled the flow of power to Gaza: Abier Almasri wrote in 2017 that tasks such as cooking and laundry had to be rushed during the four or so hours a day when electricity was available. In this environment, electric cookers are useful in that they can prepare a lot of bread in a short period of time. Fathia Radwan said in 2022 that she would wake up early, after the nightly power outage, to prepare more than 100 loaves of bread at a time for her family of nine.
Today, the taxes that Israel levies on imports of raw materials into Gaza makes the cost of new electric cookers, which sometimes exceeds 120 shekels (37 USD), too expensive for some families to afford. The difficulty and expense of importing materials, and the impossibility of exporting goods to foreign markets with the advent of the 2007 siege, also limit the number of factories in Gaza that are able to manufacture these cooking pots. The aluminum industry, introduced to Gaza in the 1960s and once the basis of a manufacturing and economic renaissance in the region, deteriorated as a result of the siege, as factories were no longer able to export goods to the West Bank and were newly reliant on imports of raw materials from Egypt. Even parts to repair electric cookers are expensive, due to a tax levied on items judged by Israel to have a "dual," i.e. a possible civilian and military, use.
Still, repairman Iyad Faraj estimates that over half the homes in Gaza have and use an electric cooker, as maintaining, repairing, and operating one is cheaper than having a gas pipe installed (at 68 shekels, 20 USD) and purchasing gas. Electric pots thus stand in many homes as both a utilitarian item, and a symbol of Palestinian ingenuity and resistance to Israel's attempts at impoverishment and starvation.
Support Palestinian resistance by contributing to Palestine Action’s bail fund or to Palestine Legal’s defence fund, by attending court or making a sign to support the Elbit Eight, or by buying an e-sim for distribution in Gaza.
Ingredients:
500g (4 cups + 3 Tbsp) white whole wheat (spring) flour
1/2 Tbsp (5g) active dry yeast
1/2 Tbsp (6.25g) vegetarian granulated sugar
1/2 Tbsp (7.25g) kosher salt
About 2 1/4 cups (530mL) room-temperature water, divided
Olive oil
White whole wheat flour is flour that has a white color once ground, despite the fact that it includes both the bran and the germ of the wheatberry. It is milled from white spring wheat (so named because it is harvested in late spring).
You may instead mix white all-purpose flour and brown whole wheat flour in your desired proportion. Keep in mind that whole wheat flour will need more water and more kneading than white flour. If you’re using all white flour, you will need about 1 1/4 cup (300mL) water.
Instructions:
1. Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add water gradually until dry ingredients come together into a sticky dough.
2. Knead the dough on the countertop or in a wide, shallow bowl until smooth, about 5 minutes. (If using whole wheat or white whole wheat flour) continue incorporating water into the dough as you knead to maintain a tacky texture.
3. Fold the dough into a ball and return to the bowl, seam-side down. Pat the top of the dough with some olive oil, cover the bowl, and let rise for an hour.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Pinch the dough into about 8 balls of equal size (about 110g each). Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Tumblr media
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a circle about 1/4" (1/2cm) in thickness. Set dough circles on a surface prepared with parchment paper and cover closely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rest and ferment for at least 1 and up to 10 hours.
An overnight rest is traditional in Palestine and will create a more complex flavor in the bread (see note below).
Tumblr media
6. Remove each circle of dough from its resting place with a metal spatula and roll it out to a 1/4” thickness again. Preheat a baking stone or sheet in the top third of an oven at 500 °F (260 °C), and then cook breads in the oven for three minutes, until large bubbles have begun to form.
Tumblr media
7. Flip bread over and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and puffed up completely.
8. Wrap breads in a kitchen towel or tea towel and allow to steam for a few minutes while the others cook.
Notes
The climate where I live is dry enough that I have discovered a risk of my breads becoming crackers if I leave them out overnight. The dried-out flatbread does puff up in the oven, but the resulting product is not as nice and fluffy as it should be.
Through experimentation, I have found the best method of both preventing drying out and guaranteeing that the flatbreads will puff up during cooking the next day is:
1. Roll out the dough and place dough circles on a lightly oiled surface. Cover them closely with lightly oiled plastic wrap.
2. The next day, fold dough circles back into balls. Place seam-side down and roll out again on a lightly floured surface.
3. Bake as described above.
If you live in a humid environment, the first instructions given in the recipe above should work for you.

wrote my july 2022 neph prompt, "meaningful belongings" featuring Darius and @synoicus' Kira!!!!! enjoy im very proud of this one!
Tumblr media
~~~~~
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you," one of the designers for this season's show wanders up to Darius' station, "where did you get your jacket? Is it custom? I love it."
"I-" Darius fights back the initial panic that surged when they gestured at his shoulders, trying to steady his voice to respond properly…
--
His phone rang, startling Darius from his reverie of staring blankly at whatever was on TV. Grasping blindly for his phone, he fumbled with the screen, eventually successfully swiping the ‘answer’ badge.
"H-"
"DUDE," Darius tipped the phone away from his ear as Kira's enthusiasm blew out the mic on her own.
"there's this TOTALLY SICK BAND THROWDOWN tonight at that club up on thirty-second!!!! Cold Brewing Storm and Zap Attack'll be there!!!! You're coming right??? Wanna ride together with me?? Toby said 'no' like a WEENIE cos he 'wants to get sleep tonight' or whatever."
"I…" Darius hesitated in the opening Kira finally afforded him. He'd have loved to. Of course he would've. But…
"I can't. sorry," he mumbled, pathetically. It felt bad. He could feel Kira's confusion in the silence.
"...that's the third time this week, dude." her voice was markedly softer, concern plain as day across the line, "You've been real down all of a sudden. Did something happen?"
"No."
Kira’s response was simply a contemplative pause, but of course that didn’t last for long.
"I'm coming over."
"Kira no yo-"
The call ended with a click and Darius snarled at the air as he lowered the phone from ear range. He furiously texted her instead: kira, dont. go to the show itll be great. kira. kira!!!! kira im fine!
She didn't deign to so much as leave him a read receipt. S'pose he should've known better; when Kira's mind was made up, there was little chance of stopping her. He sighed angrily, tugging at the unfamiliar t-shirt tight around his neck. He'd just have to stomach chatting with her long enough til she was satisfied and went home. At least she was easy to distract.
Ears flat back, annoyed with himself for even thinking this way about Kira, of all nephs, he shook himself to his feet and surveyed his immediate surroundings. It was pretty clear he’d had little energy to do much other than lay around on the couch feeling sorry for himself. He'd have to clean up at least a bit or she'd never believe his claims.
There was a knock on the door just as Darius put the last dry dish back in the cabinet. Flinging the towel across the back of a chair and slapping the trash shut - he'd have to take it out another time - he scampered to the door before Kira took his dallying as her cue to make more noise than the neighbors would appreciate.
He opened it just a crack, peering into the hall. "Kira I'm-"
"I BROUGHT SOUP," she barged the rest of the way past the door, past Darius, and into his apartment. "ITS GETTING COLD COME GET SOME!"
"Kira!" he helplessly trailed after her, the door falling lamely shut in her wake. "I'm okay this isn't necessary!"
"Nonsense," she yelled from the kitchen, her big, tinfoil-covered pot clanging onto the stovetop. "Where are your spoons?"
"In there -" he pointed reflexively before he realized he was enabling her, "but for real; you're gonna miss out on the show! You LOVE Zap Attack!"
"And Zap Attack," Kira muttered as she rustled around in his drawer, "PALES in comparison to how much I love my HOMIES!" she declared, brandishing a ladle. "So THERE."
Darius rolled his eyes, "please, I'm fine."
"I may love you but, full offense, you look like you rolled out of bed and right back into it a few days in a row, bud."
He grimaced. She wasn't wrong.
"And you're wearing a shirt. There's no way you're fine," she jabbed him playfully with the ladle. "ya nudist."
"It's! Comfy," he lied.
“Sure.” Kira rolled her eyes in return, turning back to the stove and tearing the foil off her soup to give it a stir. The little flames of the gas stove flickered tauntingly underneath the pot’s copper base and Darius felt queasy.
“You don’t have to tell me exactly what’s going on, man, but I know you; you’re stronger than this. You can own up to it when you’re having a rough time.” She drew the ladle back out of the pot, tipping her glasses to her forehead so they wouldn’t steam up as she sampled the soup. “Oh, good, it’s still toasty.”
Darius could practically feel his frustration building. “I’m an adult, Kira, I can handle it myself.”
“oh-HOH!” Kira whirled around and pointed at him again with the now-wet ladle, much to Darius’ chagrin. “So you ADMIT you’re feeling it!”
“I-” his cheeks burned and he grit his teeth, desperately trying to keep his boiling emotions in and incriminating himself in the same silence.
“Darius,” her voice soft again, Kira stepped down from the stove and closer to him. “I can’t help you if you aren’t willing to let me.”
"I"m FINE," he snapped, growling deep in his throat, but his mane prickled and crawled and he knew his game was up as a burst of flame crackled through his t-shirt.
Kira's ears flattened and she recoiled at the sudden heat. Upon opening her eyes again Darius had completely deflated, head in his hands beneath sagging shoulders and tail limp on the ground as fire leaped from his fur.
"Clearly," she remarked, insatiable need for snark getting the better of her.
"What happened?" she added more gently, "you can talk to me about it."
"I can't," Darius groaned, finally lifting his head and fixing her with a baleful stare through lidded eyes.
She poked him with the ladle, making a wet stain on the rags of his shirt. "Sure you can, this is a no-judgement zone."
He dragged his paws down his face. "No, Kira, its under NDA I actually can't."
"You got cursed on air-"
"mrmgmh NO I JUST--" Darius flailed wildly before freezing mid-gesture, and took a deep breath.
"I-" he looked around, strained, picking his words carefully "I… misused my magic."
"It wasn't during shooting and I don't think anyone knows it was me but I. It'll…" he growled in ‘legal bullshit’ frustration, "...it'll affect the season."
"Darius…"
"I KNOW. I know," he moaned, "I fucked up! It's a miracle I haven't been fired and it's only a matter of time before they find out. It's constant, Kira; the smoke, I- I had to take the batteries out of the alarm. And it smells like campfire in here, I'll never get it out-" he paused for breath, his thoughts finally gushing out in a panicked stream, and Kira padded around to sit beside him on the tile floor.
"And I'm-" the word caught in his throat, "I'm cursed. It's not like it'll go away; everyone - everyone - will know forever that I did it. That I-” his voice petered out into a whine, and he looked up at the badly-stuccoed ceiling, willing the tears he felt welling in his eyes to drain away.
Kira sighed. She knew he hailed from a conservative Nephfeist hometown, but this doom-and-gloom was so uncharacteristic for her normally overconfident friend that it was throwing her a bit off her groove.
“I know it must feel like it but it’s not gonna be the end of the world, dude.” she poked her own nubby sea-devil horns. “Mine’s a little different, but speaking from experience, I promise it won’t change you. Sure some assholes are gonna look at you funny but that’s their problem; and it’s their problem with spinx, not you, and they don’t deserve your time if they’re gonna be like that.”
“Gods,” he grimaced, “I can’t even stomach the idea of the looks I’ll get.”
“...and so you haven’t left your apartment all week?”
Darius glowered at her.
“I’d call you a weenie too but like… I get it, man. It’s not something you can overpower in your brain in just a day.” She patted his fluffy chest in lieu of his still-flaming shoulders. “I know you’ve got it in you but maybe let’s start simple today.”
Kira got to her feet and walked over to the chair she had draped her jacket across, the dishtowel underneath slipping down to the seat as she lifted it off.
“There’s no way this’ll fit you,” she remarked as she brought it back to the much larger Darius, “but if being seen is the problem-”
Darius winced as she threw it over the scraps of his unquestionably ruined t-shirt, waiting for the flames to blister through the leather - but instead to his relief felt them finally die back to smoke underneath. Kira bumped his chin up with a claw and drew the collar tight in front of him, letting the far-too-small sleeves hang limp over his sides.
“There,” she declared, triumphant. “Maybe it’s only a bandaid for now, but bandaids are the first step to healing: No smoke. No weird looks. No guilt.”
“Definitely some guilt,” Darius almost managed a smirk.
“Okay, fine, some guilt, but private guilt,” Kira’s eyes glittered happily hearing the smile in his voice again. “Baby steps.”
“...thanks, Kira,” Darius finally acquiesced, “sorry I couldn’t- didn’t say anything. It’s… a lot.”
A huge, goofy grin broke across Kira's face. “It’s okay, dude. That’s what friends are for, to force you into letting em care about you.” She put her arm around his back comfortingly, tugging again on the jacket collar with her other paw. “I’ll bring you a real one tomorrow, okay? But first: SOUP.”
--
Darius shook his head quickly to clear it, masking it as a part of conversation.
“Sorry, it was a gift from a friend,” he shrugs with his paws. “I’m not sure where she got it.”
“Drat,” the centicorn designer smiles good-naturedly despite their disappointment. “I’d have loved to see more of the line. Patterning tailored shoulders on spinx is a feat but that jacket looks great on you.”
“Well, thanks,” he smiles back unbidden, tugging on the lapels, and adds with a snicker, “It'd better, this one means a lot to me.”

16 for the autumn asks if you're still doing them! x
Yes! Oooooh, describe my dream house/room!
I’m almost embarrassed to admit I’m a bit of an architecture and design nut and it’s probably best I’ve never been able to afford a house because I love so many different styles and I’d never be able to choose.
There are far too many delightful ways humans have built houses, but here are just a few - Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, American Craftsman and Prairie Style, Mid-century Modern, Japanese Shoin-zukuri and Minka, yurts out of Mongolia, wood cabins from the northlands of America and Europe, so many of the different African styles, especially out of the ‘medieval’ time periods - all the beautiful stone and clay and wood…
…ahem. So I guess I’ll have to describe more of a mood than a physical layout! 😆
It would be a warm and welcoming place, filled with wood and stone, thick rugs, and fireplaces. It would be open and inviting with many places to sit and chat or cuddle or snooze in the afternoon. The furniture would be low and comfortable, and there would be many blankets and pillows to make nests out of. And bookshelves! Sooooo many bookshelves, and big windows for lots of light, and beautiful lamps scattered around… and probably a bunch of critters, honestly. And all my friends’ art all over the walls!
The kind of place you would always be comfortable dropping by to hang out and maybe take a nap 😆
A big kitchen and a huge table for eating or cooking or crafts, or game nights…
Absolutely sybaritic bathrooms - huge bathtubs for soaking, showers that look like a forest is trying to take over, beautiful tile work, big fluffy towels…
And many small cozy bedrooms for guests ❤️
Thank you @mister-eames !!!

👀 for Oscar and Clare, Jace and Em, Ofreya and Scott, Ethan and Lucian 😀
X
Tumblr media
"That's not what I'm saying. I loved Liv, I did, but this is...different. This feels more real. Not that what I had with Liv wasn't. It's just..."
Oscar pulled out on of the stools and sat at the kitchen island as his sister made dinner. Clare had been called to the infirmary to work her medicinal magic and for once Oscar had been glad Jace eagerly offered his assitance. It was just another attempt at driving a wedge between them, he was sure of it, but he didn't care at the moment.  He'd been waiting for the right moment to pick Em's brain over his dilemma. And Jace had unknowingly been a huge help.
"Clare is.... She brings out things in me that I never knew existed.  Whenever I'm around her it's like nothing else matters. She takes care of me when I've lost myself. And she can handle my demons. Eveything feels right with her."
He hung his head in between his arms and took a calming breath. Emily knew Oscar well enough to pick up on the hints. It was clear how he felt about Clare. He'd all but said the words. She was perfect for him and he finally felt like he'd found the one.
So then why was guilt gnawing away at his stomach?
He lifted his head and rubbed his hands over his face, wringing them slightly as he leaned on the counter "Am I wrong for moving on so quickly?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern. "Is your precious beau right?" he asked with obvious disdain for Jace. "Am I somehow betraying Liv by being with Clare?" He let his gaze fall from Em and to his hands. "Or is it worse....that even if I am....I don't care? Clare makes me happy," he stated matter of factly with a soft smile and a shrug, bringing his eyes back to his sister's. "And I want to do the same for her.  Simple as that. It's okay that I feel good about that, right?"
Tumblr media
"What?!" Em asked Cheri with a laugh of shock. "No. I do not have an Only Fans you bitch," she playfully insulted the other artist, throwing a roll of paper towels at her. She smiled and laughed as she went back to wiping down her station. "No, a client - my next session actually - saw where I was working after hours and just so happened to have an available property.  He's was kind enough to offer it to me at a very affordable price," she half lied, explaining the sudden come up for her shop.
She began setting up her tray - carefully filling up tiny cups with black and white ink and one red. She folded up some papertowels and set the stack to the side.  Then adjusted her gun, setting it next to all of it.
Emily's mind ran over when they'd first met and their subsequent chats over text.  They had all been short and mostly to the point - sletch design, scheduling, the whole shebang for a new customer's first appointment. But it very much felt like they were about to have their first date.
Her coworker caught the flush to her cheeks.
"Liking him has nothing to do with my nerves. He is a client and an ivestor. I fuck his tattoo up and I can kiss that new shop goodbye," she tried denying in counter to the remark about her liking the guy. "But he's not bad on the eyes and he is a real charmer," she added with a sly smirk. "You'll see.  He should be here soon," she told her before going back to finishing getting everything ready.
Tumblr media
"Who Scott?" she asked in slight disbelief. "No," she said through a small chuckle. "No way," she added with a glance his way. 
He was at the front desk doing what he did best - recruiting newcomers to the gym.  O's attention went back to the woman 
"Not that he isn't attractive or that it hasn't crossed my mine, but he's my boss. That's like sleeping with the enemy. Besides, I like that we're friends.  I don't want to screw that up." 
Her gaze unconsciously drifted back to Scott as he was showing the client where to sign for their membership.
"Although I have to admit, a roll in the hay with him would probably be a lot of fun," she said with a lighthearted smile and laugh before going back to the training session at hand.
Tumblr media
"I don't know. I think he's kind of a genius," he cautiously countered the argument that Lucian was just another whack job. 
The news reports of his arrest had been playing all day, making him out to be the Kavorikian of psychitrists. A deranged doctor who manipulated his patients into ending their mediocrity. Ethan had been impressed. And it was the first time he'd ever felt like he'd found someone worth looking up to.
"I mean, think about it. You listen to all those true crime podcasts," he told his friend. "Of all the known serial killers, how many of them were able to claim their victims without ever even lifting a finger? And I don't mean by mass suicide like Jonesburg or the fangirls of good old Charlie Manson. I mean the guys like Dahmer, and Ed Gein and Alber Fish - the really heinous killers - I don't think a single one of them could have done what Lucian did. And that takes genius. I'm just saying," he said with a shrug.

Here, we'll explore 10 low-budget kitchen design ideas to inspire you, alongside valuable tips from modular kitchen interior designers in Delhi, Noida, and Dwarka.

Utilize Smart Storage Solutions: Modular kitchen designers in Noida recommend installing pull-out drawers, corner cabinets, and under-sink organizers. These maximize space and keep your kitchen clutter-free.
Think Vertical Storage: Utilize floor-to-ceiling cabinets for maximum storage. You can even add hooks or rails on the sides for hanging pots and utensils.

Paint Your Cabinets: A fresh coat of paint can dramatically transform your kitchen cabinets. Choose a light and bright color to create the illusion of a larger space.
Pro Tip from High Creation Interior Noida Designers: For a trendy and unique look, consider two-tone cabinets. Paint the lower cabinets a darker shade for a grounded feel, and keep the upper cabinets light and airy.
Repurpose Old Furniture: Don't underestimate the power of upcycling! An old dresser or console table can be transformed into a kitchen island or a breakfast bar.
Appliances and Finishing Touches:
Focus on Functionality: Prioritize functionality over fancy features when choosing appliances. Look for energy-efficient models that fit your needs.
Statement Lighting:  A statement pendant lamp or strategically placed sconces can elevate your kitchen's ambiance without a significant investment.

Balancing Positive Energy in Your Home
Tumblr media
The Art of Feng Shui
“How we discuss our lives is often very easily described with words that correspond directly to our environment,” says Karen Rauch Carter, Florida-based professional feng shui consultant and author of Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life. Home is our comfort zone, a place where all our worries and difficulties take a pause. If such environment is not positive and healthy, we are unfortunately going crazy in the end.
Feng Shui can be used as a tool to assist you in creating a space that supports and uplifts you while you work toward your wellness and health objectives. Let’s dive into the world of Feng Shui for a safe, healthy and tranquil environment.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui, an age-old Chinese tradition, centers on organizing your surroundings to promote the circulation of positive energy and cultivate a serene ambiance within your home. Integrating these principles into your interior design can metamorphose your living space into a sanctuary of equilibrium and tranquillity.
In modern Feng Shui, emphasis is placed on achieving balance and promoting the flow of energy or life force. However, a more modern perspective involves utilizing objects, colors, or strategic placements to reprogram your subconscious and align it with a healthier mindset.
Next Phase: Applying the Feng Shui Technique
It’s time to put Feng Shui principles into practice now that you have a better grasp of them and have examined your living area.
Bedroom: The bedroom serves as a haven for rest and revitalization. To foster positive energy within this area, initiate by arranging the placement of your bed. Ideally, position it diagonally opposite the door to create a feeling of security. Opt for calming color palettes, integrate gentle textures, and declutter the space to encourage relaxation and equilibrium.
Living Room: Positioning furniture to face a door or entryway is deemed authoritative. This entails arranging chairs in a way that places their backs, as well as yours, against a solid wall rather than leaving them free-floating in the center of a room.
Home Office: Whether you possess a designated room or a compact corner for your home office, applying Feng Shui principles can enhance productivity and well-being. Orientate your desk towards the entrance, affording you a view of opportunities and inviting positive energy. Arrange your workspace thoughtfully, introduce natural elements, and tailor it to stimulate creativity and concentration.
Kitchen: Decluttering holds significance in Feng Shui, and this principle extends to every room in your home, making the kitchen an excellent starting point. Begin by eliminating expired or unused items from your pantry and refrigerator, and discard single-use appliances and tools that are seldom used in your cooking routine. By removing unnecessary items, you create room for new possibilities to enter your life.
Bathroom: If your bedroom’s headboard shares a wall with the bathroom, consider placing a mirror on that bathroom wall, facing outward. This helps in ‘pushing out’ the energy associated with plumbing, often described as ‘down the drain.’ Furthermore, ensure that the bathroom itself exudes a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. Achieve this through personal preferences, such as using plush towels, adding a scented candle, or choosing a calming paint color.
Relaxing and Soothing Home: Period!
The practice of Feng Shui presents a distinct chance for us to turn our homes into sanctuaries of positive energy and equilibrium. Through comprehending the principles, assessing our living spaces and employing practical techniques, we can cultivate an environment that supports our well-being and elevates our mood. Therefore, embrace this journey and allow the age-old wisdom of Feng Shui to lead you in crafting a home that is harmonious and energizing, resonating with your authentic self.

Introduction
Every structure necessitates dependable plumbing, sanitary facilities, and chrome-plated fixtures. These elements guarantee a consistent provision of fresh water, foster cleanliness, and contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the building. Plumbing systems distribute water to various areas within the structure, including kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces, facilitating daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene.
Sanitary fixtures, such as toilets, sinks, and showers, are crafted to uphold cleanliness and hygiene within the premises. Engineered for optimal waste disposal efficiency, these fixtures ensure a comfortable and convenient experience for users.
Fixtures adorned with chromium plating, including faucets, showerheads, and bathroom accessories, not only fulfill practical functions but also elevate the space's aesthetics. The reflective qualities of chrome plating effortlessly elevate interior designs, emanating an aura of elegance and sophistication.
Understanding Plumbing Systems
The plumbing system of a building consists of an interconnected network of pipes, valves, fittings, and fixtures collaboratively functioning to distribute water. Key components of this system encompass supply pipes, drainage pipes, water meters, water heaters, and various fixtures. Supply pipes convey fresh water from either a storage tank or the main source to distinct areas of the building. Conversely, drainage pipes facilitate the removal of wastewater from the building, directing it towards either a septic system or a sewer. Water meters gauge the quantity of water utilized, while water heaters furnish hot water for personal activities like bathing.
Importance of Sanitary Fixtures
Ensuring cleanliness and fostering good hygiene are imperative, underscoring the significance of sanitary fixtures. These fixtures encompass toilets, sinks, bathtubs, showers, and bidets. Essential for averting water leakage, mitigating the risks of waterborne diseases, and ensuring a satisfactory user experience, the installation and upkeep of sanitary fixtures are crucial.
In the process of choosing sanitary fixtures, vital considerations involve durability, water efficiency, and ease of maintenance. While top-notch sanitary fixtures may entail a higher initial investment, they prove cost-effective over time by curbing water usage and diminishing the necessity for repairs.
Enhancing Aesthetics with Chromium-Plated Fixtures
For those seeking to infuse sophistication and flair into their bathroom or kitchen, contemplate choosing fixtures with chromium plating. These fixtures not only offer a resilient and corrosion-resistant coating that retains its luster over time but also boasts a reflective surface that elevates the overall visual appeal of the area. With a diverse array of choices, spanning faucets, showerheads, towel racks, and soap dispensers, you can customize your space while upholding a unified design theme.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Plumbing and Sanitary Fixtures
The cost of plumbing and sanitary fixtures can vary significantly, influenced by various factors. Here are the key elements that impact the overall pricing:
1. Type and Quality of Fixtures
The cost is significantly affected by the type and quality of fixtures you select. Basic fixtures made from standard materials typically come at a more affordable price, whereas high-end fixtures crafted from premium materials can incur higher expenses. Striking a balance between quality and budget is crucial when choosing fixtures.
2. Installation Complexity
The total cost is affected by the complexity of the installation process. Installing fixtures in pre-existing buildings may entail extra labor and adjustments, resulting in higher costs compared to new construction projects. Elements like accessibility, pre-existing plumbing systems, and structural constraints can contribute to the complexity of the installation.
3. Design and Aesthetic Requirements
It's important to consider that if you have specific design preferences or favor customized fixtures, the cost may be elevated. Custom or designer fixtures typically demand additional time and skill in their production, potentially leading to a higher price.
4. Location and Regional Factors
The cost of fixtures can vary based on the location and regional conditions. Local building codes, labor rates, and material availability are among the factors that can influence the overall cost in different regions.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Chromium-Plated Fixtures
When considering chromium-plated fixtures, several factors can impact their cost:
1. Brand and Reputation
Opting for well-established brands recognized for quality and durability may entail a higher cost for their chromium-plated fixtures. However, this choice ensures superior performance and reliable customer support over time.
2. Finish and Design Complexity
A broad selection of finishes and designs is available for chromium-plated fixtures. It's essential to note that fixtures with intricate designs or unique finishes may be pricier due to the additional labor and materials involved in their production.
3. Accessories and Additional Features
Certain chromium-plated fixtures come equipped with extra features or accessories, such as built-in filters or temperature control. The inclusion of these added functionalities can raise the cost compared to more basic fixtures.
4. Market Demand and Availability
The cost of chromium-plated fixtures is subject to the principles of supply and demand. Limited availability and high demand for a particular design or model may result in a higher price compared to readily accessible alternatives.
Average Cost Breakdown: Plumbing and Sanitary Fixtures
The cost of plumbing and sanitary fixtures fluctuates based on the project's scope and various considerations. Nevertheless, for general reference, here is an approximate breakdown of standard fixture costs:
- Toilets: 5,000 per unit
- Sinks: 2,500 per unit
- Showers: 1,000 per unit
- Bathtubs: 20,000 per unit
- Faucets: 1,500 per unit
It's important to note that these figures are rough estimates, and actual prices can vary depending on the factors previously mentioned.
Conclusion
Plumbing, sanitary, and chromium-plated fixtures constitute essential components in any construction venture, be it a residential dwelling or a commercial office space. These fixtures provide indispensable functionalities, enhance hygiene standards, and contribute to the overall visual appeal of the structure. The average cost associated with these fixtures is subject to fluctuations based on factors such as type, quality, design intricacy, and regional influences.
