Trending on Remodelista: 5 Kitchen Design Tips for Old-Fashioned Holidays

November 16, 2018

In the rush to embrace technology, we sometimes forget that new does not always mean improved. This week the Remodelista editors prepared for the upcoming holidays by reacquainting themselves with some tried-and-true favorites for the kitchen. Here are five modern design tips to steal for old-fashioned feasts and festivities:

Lazy Susans

“My flour sifter looks exactly like my mother’s did without a few decades’ worth of dents (I’m sure mine will develop similar battle scars over time),” says Michelle. “No kitchen tool I use reminds me more of the epic Christmas cooking baking sessions of my childhood.” Read more in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.

Hot and Cold Taps

“If Brooklyn townhouses could speak this one would have a detectable British accent,” writes Margot. Read more in Plain English in Brooklyn Heights: A Very Proper Elizabeth Roberts Townhouse Remodel.

This holiday season Alexa plans to say goodbye to “kitchen gadgets that are so souped-up, overcomplicated, and employ an excess of tech, that they leave you wondering if you’re really cooking at all.” She rounds up her favorite alternatives in 10 Easy Pieces: Editors’ Favorite Hand-Operated Kitchen Tools.
