Standing on tile or hardwood floors for an extended period of time can create discomfort in your back or your feet. Usually by the time you notice the pain, it is too late as it seems to stay for several days. Kitchen floor mats that use gel to provide a cushion can be attractive while helping maintain feet and back health. The floor mats pictured here are from Gelpro and feature a weave pattern available in many colors. Gelpro offers two sizes of mats to fit the dimensions of your kitchen. For cooks who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, these gel mats can really be a lifesaver. I just picked up two of these this weekend and I can tell you that they make a difference. Measurements: 20" x 72" - $199; 20" x 36" - $99. Product: here.
Modern Italian kitchen cabinet design never had it as good as it does with the clean concealable sliding doors of the MK Style Extra 04. I am really impressed with the bold panels that are free of excessive detailing that tends to clutter and take away from a design rather than add to it. MK Style increases the dramatic visuals of their Extra 04 modern kitchen design with exceptionally thick 30mm doors that are available in several exotic woods including teak, ebony, and zebra. In addition MK Style has included the equally appealing stainless steel appliances and hood vents available in wood, glass, stainless steel, or Corian for a perfect match or complete contrast to the cabinets.
