Thursday, May 15th, 2008
Spruce up the kitchen supplies displayed in your home, with this vibrant and colorful Slipad Knife Block from Ikea. The block comes with 5 knives, each a brighter and more fun color than the one before. In addition, each is also a larger size than the one before, as well. It is easy to clean each piece of this set and is small enough to fit in any space, on just about any counter top in the kitchen. Make knives more accessible for guests and those unfamiliar with the layout of your home. All the while, keeping the sharp end of the knife tucked away from little hands!

Kitchen in a Box!
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007When I first moved into my apartment there were a lot of short cuts taken in effort to save money, one being me taking my mother’s old pots and anything she either upgraded or didn’t want anymore from her kitchen. While this worked for awhile, I found myself wanting newer or better kitchen utensils. Some of it I still have but a lot of it has since been replaced. If I could rethink my moving strategy or do it all over again, I’d pick one of the two Kitchen in a Box sets below.
The first option I’d consider would be the Chefmate Kitchen in a Box First Apartment Starter Set. This 40 piece set comes with all the must have kitchen supplies you’ll need. While the quality might not be the highest, I’m sure it’s good enough to cook any meal you can think of. Some of the things included are: a 2-qt. covered saucepan, 3-qt. covered double-handle pot, 9.5″ frying pan, 4 steak knives, 13″ pizza pan and 10×14″ cookie sheet, solid spoon, slotted spoon, slotted turner, pasta fork, pizza cutter, can opener, measuring cups and spoons, peeler, 3.5-qt. mixing bowl and spatula, Chip clips, corkscrew, salt/pepper shakers, colander, oven mitt and more. This is a great start to a great kitchen.
Another option would be the IKEA START-BOX 1. This set has 41 items and while they don’t go into detail about what’s included, the do say it contains basic kitchen utensils: mixing bowls, storage jars, pots, tools, etc. The quality is a little higher as well as the price, but it’s still not going to break the bank for someone just starting out on their own.
I think both of these are bargains and good enough to last you years until you decide to step up and get the real serious cooking gear. You could also fill your kitchen with the more food/meal focused Cooking 101 sets from Linens ‘n Things for a low price too
Chefmate Kitchen in a Box First Apartment Starter Set $29.99
IKEA START-BOX 1 $89.99

DAVE Laptop Table
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007
My laptop does not receive the love it deserves. I admit, I neglect it and treat it poorly at time. It usually just sits on the top of a wooden folding end table in my living room or on top of my legs while I am in bed or on the couch. I need to give it a better home because after all, if anything were to happen to it - my life would come halting to a stop. The Dave Laptop Table from Ikea would be a great workstation option. It has an adjustable height and incline for the tabletop so you can adjust it based on where you are working. It also has a slot in the back for your power cord and is just the right size to comfortably fit your laptop. Available in white or black, one of the best features is that it is lightweight so it can easily move from room to room just like your laptop can!
