The number of restaurants offering fresh fruits and vegetables with their children's menu has increased from 1% in 2008 to 3% in 2012, but the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest isn't smiling.
Labeling the uptick a "disappointing improvement" in overall nutrition, the organization said in a study released in late March that 97% of the nearly 3,500 combinations available on kids' menus from 34 major restaurant chains did not meet nutritional criteria for 4- to 8-year-olds based on recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Nor did 91% of kids' meals meet the requirements for the National Restaurant Association's voluntary Kids LiveWell program.
"We need restaurants to do a lot more to give parents a fighting chance to find healthy things for their kids to eat," said Margo Wootan, nutrition policy director for CSPI.
Finding healthful kids items is like "finding a needle in haystack," she said.
Despite the fact that 1 in 3 American children is obese, she said, "most chains seem stuck in a time warp, serving up the same old meals based on chicken nuggets, burgers, macaroni and cheese, fries and soda."
Wootan scoffed at the notion that adding fruits and vegetables makes kids' meals cost-prohibitive.
"An apple is cheaper than a bag of chips and a grilled chicken leg isn't more expensive than a fried one," she said. "Almost any meal is improved if you pair an entree with a fruit or vegetable."
Among the kids' menu no-no's that CSPI found was one offering that included grilled cheese on sourdough with fries and 2% chocolate milk that totaled 1,210 calories, 62 grams of fat and 2,340 milligrams of sodium.
Another was pepperoni pizza with homestyle fries and soda that packed 1,010 calories, 45 grams of fat and 2,020 milligrams of sodium.
At 19 chains, no possible combination of the items offered for children met CSPI's nutrition standards. At nine of those 19 chains, no single kids' meal met the NRA's Kids LiveWell standards.
Subway was the only restaurant chain to have all of its kids' meal combinations meet the CSPI's nutritional criteria.
"They far and away had the healthiest options for kids," Wootan said.
Subway also recently earned recognition from the Produce for Better Health foundation.
CSPI encouraged chains to make some changes by taking part in NRA's Kids LiveWell program and reformulating kids' meals to meet those standards.

We just installed ten DMF LED cans in the kitchen and they hum and flicker when dimmed and the dimming range is not that great. My husband adjusted the dimmer switch (Lutron CL) and that helped but also lowered the dimming range. Did we get duped on this brand (husband got sold on them for their high lumen output and Cree chip)? Is there anything that might be causing this that we aren't thinking of? Should I just retrofit it for the Edison base spend the money on Ecosmarts at HD? For what it's worth, when not dimmed the lights look great. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 13 at 9:42
I'd contact DMF and Lutron. Dimming LEDs is a little more complicated than ordinary incandescent lamps. |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 13 at 9:43
Dimmers turn the power on and off rapidly, 120 times per second. The LEDs respond faster than do incandescent lamps and the OFF part of the dimmer operation is more noticeable. Mine flicker when dimmed drastically. It is the nature of the beast. Ditch the dimmer if it is intolerable. |
To take the mystery out of dimming LEDs Lutron has developed a testing lab. Lighting manufacturers send their product to Lutron to see how it performs with various Lutron dimmers. This is one of the best ways to know in advance how products are going to perform but one has to read carefully and be able to understand the report. Is difficult to keep the reports current as new LEDs are released and older ones updated often. You should not assume that an updated product which previously received a good report will be the same. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lutron LED report card
The LEDs are running on the output of an AC to DC power supply to produce the low DC voltage the discrete LEDs use. The power supply design sounds like it is (at least) not compatible with the type of dimer you have chosen, and may not be compatible with ANY dimmer. Ask the LED manufacturer what dimmer THEY recommend. |
If you are using an old dimmer, replace it with a new one that is meant to be used with LEDs. We changed out some recessed cans to LEDS recently and noticed that some of the ones on dimmers flickered. We replaced the dimmers and lost the flicker. Easy trip to Home Depot or Lowe's. |
- Posted by amandasplit (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 11:56
Thanks for all the feedback! We are using a new Lutron CL dimmer for LED. We were able to adjust it to make the flickering stop, but now it hardly dims. We called DMF, waiting to hear what they say. I blame title24 for this! If we didn't have that we would've used the Eco smarts. |
amanda, I don't understand your title 24 and Ecosmart issue (other that perhaps $$). Ecosmart's versions of the CR6 and CR4 come in GU24 socket versions, which will pass T24 last I checked. |
- Posted by amandasplit (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 20:31
Oh yeah. You're right. We just had trouble finding gu24 cans that were definitely compatible. We found one that we thought might work (Elco) but we couldn't be sure they would fit the ecosmarts and didn't want to deal with buying and returning. And actually the lighting store we were working with does not accept returns. Also at the time no one had the gu24 Eco smarts in stock in 4". We are seriously thinking of doing the pigtail thing someone suggested to us before and turning our DMF cans into Edison sockets. Or just living with basically non dimmers. |
We replaced some 4" with EcoSmarts kits from Home Depot. They were more expensive and they had fewer in stock than the 6", but we were able to find them. We replaced hot halogen bulbs adn even with 10 ft ceilings, I can tell the difference in the room. |
I'm not too experienced with LED lights yet, but if they're anything like compact flourescents, not only do you need a dimmer specifically for LED bulbs, you may also need to get bulbs that are dimmable. |
- Posted by amandasplit (My Page) on Fri, Mar 1, 13 at 14:02
I thought I'd follow up in case anyone ever has a similar issue. We called DMF and they gave us an approved list of dimmers and oddly enough the Lutron dimmer listed is the one for incandescent bulbs, not CL. So we switched it and that helped a teeeeeeeeeny bit. Still not great. We should've gone with the Cree! Thanks everyone for all your help. |
"We called DMF and they gave us an approved list of dimmers and oddly enough the Lutron dimmer listed is the one for incandescent bulbs, not CL. So we switched it and that helped a teeeeeeeeeny bit. Still not great. We should've gone with the Cree! " The power supply design to work with ANY type of dimming is more expensive to design and manufacture. The 'magnetic' dimmers use a different device to control the AC waveform, but the power supply (CFL, florescent ballasts, LV, LED) needs to be specially designed for one type of dimmer or the other. |

If all the spectacular stuff failed and the only people left to carry this show were the Grumbleweeds (Robin Colvill and Graham Walker), I reckon audiences would still think it worth the ticket money.
They are an outrageous pair of Broker's Men, their often risque repartee impeccably timed and their routines and impersonations - everything from the Teletubbies to Ali G and Cher - wickedly performed. Just Walker's oversized flat cap and suggestion that he found his boots outside a mosque is enough to set the audience off. His supposed impalement on a magician's chair brings tears to the eyes.
John Partridge makes a strong and sexy Prince Charming to Aimie Atkinson's nicely flesh-and-blood Cinderella, and Martin Ramsdin and David Robbins as the Ugly Sisters have more lavish costumes changes than seems humanly possible, including being flown into the ball as a pair of chandeliers.
There are big numbers from Sheila Ferguson's richly-voiced Fairy Godmother, suspended in a hanging moon, and gorgeous scenic effects include a magnificent flying horse and carriage. What the show does need, though, is the amplification turning down. It's a blast throughout that allows for very little light and shade and doesn't do the solo singers any favours.

Day 14 – Short and Sweet
Before we awoke today, the Pope was home twice, bought us breakfast, and was already gone again. I like our morning better than his, spent under warm covers with eyes closed.
We didn't have extravagant plans for our third day in San Francisco. We knew one thing, though, and it was that we were hungry. I neglected to mention previously that last night we used some directions from Google to lead us to an In-N-Out Burger that was supposedly 0.3 miles from Pope's house. It was late and we were desperate for some inexpensive, delicious, fresh-never-frozen burgers. Our late night hunt through the city left us more tired and hungry than when we began. The fruit of our labor was the "closed" sign for a place called Burger Joint. We were less than pleased. If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say somewhere between mopey and irritable.
Well, today we believe it or not our hunger returned to us again. Once more, Faro researched some directions online for In-N-Out Burger. He found a place three miles away. We were greedy for good food.
It turns out that our drive took us back to the Fisherman's Wharf where we were just the day before. It didn't dampen our burger spirits, however, as we all indulged. Burgers, fries, shakes, and happiness. Believe it or not they sell them all. Ever had happiness animal style? It's unbelievable.
We proceeded to try and explore via van Chinatown and some other cool locales of San Francisco. Somehow we couldn't find Chinatown. No matter, in all of our driving we stumbled across that famous zig-zaggy road with all the well-groomed vegetation. We stopped to look at it but someone honked at us.
We returned in time to meet Pope before heading out to watch Game 5 of Cavs/Magic. He took us to this great sports bar that was absolutely churning with half-intoxicated customers watching one of the 30+ flat screens mounted on the walls. But as we learned, they were interested in the basketball game so much as the opening game of the Stanley Cup. Red Wings fans are both boisterous and devoted. We assimilated ourselves into their culture and cheered with them, booing when they booed, even doled out high fives to one another after fortuitous plays. Once I tried to start a "Red Wings" chant but, well, it caught on about as well as Saved by the Bell: the College Years.
The rest of the night, we hung out with Pope. We had fun meeting some of his friends. The night ended with some pizza. I've had better. All in all, it was a good night.
We cast off tomorrow and make our way northbound toward Redwood.
I'll conclude today's sermon with something I saw at the Pope's house that I enjoyed reading myself:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
– JD and the boys
One Comment
I had a phone interview with the Pope, and he seemed like a real sweet dude. Small world for you to stay with the only person I could name that lives in San Fran.

Black history in North America, unlike "white" history, must take into account the hundreds of thousands of Africans who were brought to this continent against their will. The experience of slavery, in Canada and the United States, wreaked havoc for generations. Canada played a role in the liberation and eventual return of some slaves to Africa, but for many others, their lives had already taken root here. Read more
This image is from a famous photo taken in Memphis, Tennessee, at the height of the civil rights movement in the United States. On March 29, 1968, a column of mostly Black men walked between the guns and bayonets of the National Guard on one side, and army tanks on the other, with their placards proclaiming, "I am a Man".
Black History Month is only celebrated in North America and in the UK. Do you think it should be celebrated all over the world?

Whenever you're contemplating a trade, it is crucial to check out the fantasy playoff matchups of your potential acquisitions. Fantasy playoff start dates vary from league-to-league (most leagues start in either Week 14 or 15), but they are an absolutely vital piece of information. I would rather have Donald Brown against the Saints defense than Arian Foster against the 49ers. That's not to say I would trade Foster for Brown – but I wouldn't want to neglect that information either.
Both of my recommendations this week have great fantasy playoff schedules. Doug Martin has dates with New Orleans and Atlanta, while Antonio Brown will be seeing San Diego, Cleveland, and Baltimore over the final five weeks.

SCANA "Good Neighbors" give food and toys to 600 needy families
Dec. 16, 2005
- For 600 needy families in the SCANA service territory, the holiday season was a little bit brighter this year, thanks to the generosity of SCANA employees and retirees. For a 23rd year, bags of food and toys were provided to local needy families just in time for Christmas as part of the annual Good Neighbor Fund Christmas project.
Food baskets and toys were assembled and delivered by employees, retirees and officers of SCANA to 50 families in the Triangle, N.C., region on Wednesday, Dec. 7; 50 families in the Gastonia, N.C., region on Thursday, Dec. 8; 250 families in the Lowcountry, S.C., region on Tuesday, Dec. 13; and 250 families in the Midlands, S.C., region on Thursday, Dec. 15.
"The gratitude of the families who receive these gifts is overwhelming," said Ted Jeffcoat, president of the Good Neighbor group. "Service to our communities is one of our core values, and our employees are committed to helping needy families in their communities."
Each year, approximately 600 families and individuals in the SCE&G service territory, and 100 families and individuals in the PSNC Energy service territory benefit from the holiday basket drive. Since 1983, more than 10,000 baskets have been delivered.
The SCANA Good Neighbor Fund provides financial assistance year-round to families in the company's service territory who are in need of help with living expenses such as groceries, mortgage or rent payments, doctor bills or prescription medications. All 100% of employee donations to the Good Neighbor Fund program go directly to those in need, and referrals are made solely by company employees

I stopped by my friend Sophie Wegat's blog to check on my buddy and saw she had taken the Nerd Test. I decided to try it too. Sexy women nerds are so hot, right?
Turns out I'm just enough nerd to be able to handle myself in public and not sound too stupid. According to the test results, I'm nerdier than half of the test takers so far.
I kinda like the "Lightly Nerdy" label.
It's sorta like ice cream with a light dash of hot fudge on the top. Just enough to make an impression but not overwhelm the whole dessert.

Future pool construction - 72K gallon pool.
Question on pump configuration: Initially I was going to plumb the pool with a single IntelliFlo VF coupled with a Pentair Clean and Clear 520SF cartridge filter.
Circuit #2
What I hope to gain: 1) More efficiency from a Whisperflo pump that is designed specifically to operate at one power setting (Blades engineered to run optimally @ 1/2 or 3/4 HP rather than all speeds) 2) Saves the more expensive IntelliFlo pump from wear and tear - Use primarily to run sheer descents & other pool features that need varying volumes of water, helps cycle pool quickly if needed to combat algae, etc. Can use to draw cold water from bottom of pool in winter, heat it and cycle it back into the pool. 3) Up to 3.5HP (200+GPM) at the ready to blast the pool if needed Any thoughts? Thanks! |

So where do you live where energy is only $0.026/kwh. A Whisperflo 1/2 HP pump (WFE2) will use around 1200 watts which is 29 kwh/day. At $0.10/kwh that is $2.90/day or $87/month. Seems like a waste of energy to me. The Intelliflo should be able to handle all that with much less energy use. #1 is incorrect. The Intelliflo is more efficient than any single speed pump for the same flow rate. #2 Most of the Intelliflo failures are the drive and that is usually due to lightning and not run time. Surge protection is probably you best defense against pre-mature failure. |
Ditto to Mas. Depends on where you live, temps, how much it will get used ect. That way you can run them both on low speed 24 hours a day and save a ton on electric, pay for the difference in no time. Second one can double as waterfall pump. |

@mas985: I misjudged power consumption on 1/2 HP pump (dramatically) I figured 746 watts/HP, so 1/2 HP = 373 watts but did not figure in any wasted wattage. 1,200 watts means the pump operates at around 30% efficiency. Is this the case with all pool pumps? We pay a little over 8 cents a KWH in west Houston. On #1, I figured since the blades could not vary their pitch, a single blade design could not be efficient across all rpm's from 500 rpm through 4,000 rpm. On #2 - we have a whole house surge protector at the top of our main load center. Is this what you are referring to, or is it a surge protector closer to the pump location? @ just-a-pb I was up in the air on the IC-40 / IC-60 decision. - Living in Houston (hot, sunny and humid) - I agree I should probably put a little more chlorinator horse power in the system. How much wattage would you say an Intelliflo VF/VS would draw pumping 36 gpm with 35' of dynamic head pressure? Is there a calculator for this? I had the same thought on the heater - pre-plumb a pipe large enough to supply both heaters. I am going to try using a "T-star" thermal pool cover on the pool with the single 400K BTU heater to see how expensive it is to keep the pool @ 74 degrees during the winter months. The coldest month average temperature we have in Houston is around 51 degrees so hopefully it won't be too terribly expensive. I'm hoping less than $300/month in natural gas. Otherwise, we may squeeze into the triathlon wet-suits to train during the winter time. Firing up (2) 400K BTU heaters would cost quite a pretty penny I bet... Thanks both just-a-pb and mas985 for your advice. Back to the drawing board for me. LOL! J |
First, a 1/2 HP pump is actually not a 1/2 HP pump. Label HP means very little. The WFE has a service factor of 1.9 so technically, the total HP (THP = HP * Service factor) for the WFE is 0.8 HP. So the efficiency of the motor is around 49.7% although the published efficiency is 68.7%. Larger motors tend to have better power efficiency but they cost more to run. Also regarding #1, there are no blades in a pump only the impeller and it has vanes. Plus there is no difference in a VS wet end vs a single speed wet end. In fact, the Intelliflo series use the same wet end as the WFE 12. Flow rate is changed by changing the rotational speed of the motor using a variable frequency drive (VFD). In a two speed pump, the speed of the motor is changed by switching to a different set of winding's. Next having 35' of at 36 GPM would be extremely high head loss for that GPM and would be the equivalent of a pool with 1.25" or smaller plumbing. I am not sure where you got the 35' of head from but a typical pool with 2" plumbing should have head loss less than 11' @ 36 GPM. Don't forget that head loss is proportional to GPM^2. But to answer your question in a different way, the Intelliflo @ 1100 RPM on the CEC plumbing curve-C would draw about 150 watts and have a flow rate of around 33 GPM. This would be the most efficient setting. When comparing pumps it is best to use energy factors (gallons/watt-hr). Again using the CEC plumbing curve-C as a reference, the energy factor the VS at full speed (97 GPM @ 2720 watts) is 2.14 while the WFE (68 GPM @ 1200 watts) 3.4. The Intelliflo at the same flow rate as the WFE 2 (68 GPM) would draw about 860 watts for an energy factor of 4.74 so clearly better than the WFE 2. Even better though the Intelliflo at 1100 RPM has an energy factor of 13.2 which would be very inexpensive to run. A 72k pool is very large but a single Intelliflo with the right plumbing could turn it over in 12 hours which should be plenty. At 1100 RPM, you would turn over 2/3 of the pool in 24 hours but that may be enough. I find I only need about a 1/2 turn per day to keep the pool clean. I would save yourself some money and buy one pump and one filter. The money you save could pay for the second Intelliflo if/when this one dies. |
You certainly can turn this pool over once in 12 hours running one vs pump and filter, but your talking 100 gpm. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a VS pump. The other thing is, depending on what is around your pool your single filter will clog faster, and need to be cleaned more. I have a 65,000 gallon pool, and live in Scottsdale, so I have similar weather. So I speak with some level of experience. I have a duel setup on the pool and it works very well. You will save more in energy costs running two pumps slower then one on high. If something does happen to one side you have back up. Looking at what you are building, I dont believe the upfront cost of two systems is a problem for you. VF pumps are selling less, VS pumps are selling more. |

AAD Addresses Cosmetic Aging and Potential Treatments
Posted: November 11, 2009
page 2 of 7
While many people are genetically predisposed to hair loss, it becomes increasingly common with age. In fact, Jaliman noted that everyone older than 40 has less hair than they did when they were younger—even if the hair does not appear thinner on the surface.
The most common form of hair loss that affects both men and women is androgenetic alopecia, often referred to as male-pattern hair loss or female-pattern hair loss. In both genders, a miniaturization of the hair follicles occurs, meaning the hair stays on the head for a shorter period of time due to a short growth phase. As a result, a person will develop baby fine hairs that do not reach their full length or diameter. In men, this results in a receding hair line or baldness on top of the scalp. However, in women, the frontal hairline is not affected but there is visible thinning over the crown and at the part.
Before starting any treatment for hair loss, Jaliman stressed it is important for men and women to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and to rule out a potentially serious medical condition, such as lupus, thyroid disease or iron-deficiency anemia. Other causes of hair loss include drug reactions, birth control pills, menopause or a diet lacking in protein.
To treat hair loss, several effective therapies are available for both men and women. For men with male-pattern hair loss, effective medical therapies that are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved include finasteride, a prescription oral medication, and minoxidil 2% and 5%, topical solutions that are available over-the-counter. For women with hair loss, minoxidil 2% is the only topical medication approved by the FDA for female-pattern hair loss.
For men and women who want a permanent solution for hair loss, Jaliman said that hair transplants are a good option, as surgical hair restoration has evolved in recent years and the results are much more natural than in the past. Now, single follicular units—or one hair at a time—are implanted in thinning and bald areas rather than clusters of hair, often referred to as "plugs." To prevent future hair loss, Jaliman suggested that hair transplant patients supplement their treatment with a medical therapy recommended by their dermatologist.

My cousin asks me,
"I have some peonies that were here when I moved here 13 yrs ago. How and when do I dig them up and divide them???? I would like to separate them and plant some elsewhere." She lives about 65 miles north of Amarillo, Texas, and they have long hard winters up there. I live down on the Texas Coast, almost to Corpus Christi, and have not a chance of growing a peony. However, I am the only cousin she has who is a Master Gardener, and I hate to admit ignorance. So, I am begging for information here, so I can share it with her. That would be two birdbrains with one stone that you could educate. I would appreciate it so much. Thanks! Janie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know what you mean by "long hard winter"? If the ground does not freeze, you can dig, separate and replant anytime during the winter. It would be a good idea to prepare the new location by digging in finished compost to the area down to about 2 feet. In your location it sounds like winter chilling may be a problem and could prevent the peonies from blooming. When planting notice the buds which will be next years flower stems, and be sure that you do not bury them. In marginal chill areas you need to depend on air temperature to chill the buds as the soil,if it covers them, acts as an insulator. Al |

Linda Hogan: Both Her Boys Are With Her Now
Linda Hogan, seen here arriving at LAX yesterday with her way-too-young boyfriend Charlie Hill (complete with skateboard, no less), says that her son Nick's time in jail has made him a "changed person."
These photos are like something out of Law & Order: SVU. Where's Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay to arrest this diddler?
Nick was released early on Tuesday after spending 166 days in a Florida jail for felony reckless driving after an accident which left Hogan family friend John Graziano permanently brain-damaged.
"He's a changed person. He went into prison as a juvenile and you know he's experienced something that is gonna mold and change him for the rest of his life, for his adult life. He wants to make a positive difference in this world," bargain basement cougar Linda told E!.
Perhaps his "positive difference" can be to stay off the road. He can always borrow Linda's boyfriend's skateboard!
"In the future I think his actions will speak louder than words. I think when people just watch, [they'll see] he's a changed person... You know he really just wants to try to be serious and make a difference, wants to look into colleges and just be a kid," she added.
Because "convict" looks really good on your college applications.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)New Obama tax forms will ensure you consume...
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 2nd, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Let's hope you like paperwork because the IRS has a surprise for you. Starting in 2014, thanks to Obamacare, you will have a new tax form to fill out in which you must prove you are buying insurance or pay a stiff penalty. You will be required to use personally identifying health information to comply.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - IRS testimony before the house Committee on Ways and Means confirms that taxpayers will have a new form to complete. On the form, taxpayers must either prove they are consuming enough insurance, or pay a penalty.
At least six million families in the US are expected to pay a penalty under Obamacare. The new requirements mandate that insurance companies send documents via mail every January, just as your employer must do with your W-2s or 1099 document. This documentation will contain personally identifying health information which can potentially enable a third party to access your health records. Obamacare supporters say this is unfortunately necessary because it is the only way to enforce insurance consumption. Without this provision, the government could not make you pay anything under Obamacare. On an individual basis, it's one document filed annually. It should be quick and easy to complete. However, when these documents multiply by the millions, basically one for every citizen, the size and nature of the burden becomes obvious. The cost to produce, mail, and process the added documentation will be enormous. And that's not even examining the privacy concerns that the circulation of such documents will present. Unfortunately, there's little citizens can do about this since Obamacare is now law and has survived judicial review as a form of taxation. If there's any one thing that affirms Justice John Robert's ruling that Obamacare is a tax, this is exactly it. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

The only thing wrong with the pantry next to the fridge is that you didn't order it with an integral decorative panel for the side. When you have it turned like that, it needs that panel to work. Order a field applied decorative panel instead and leave it there. |
What does "field applied" mean? What would the decorative panel look like? Trim? That is a finished side, though certainly not decorative. |

idabean - "field applied" means just that - the part is applied in the field (i.e. your home) rather than at the factory. A decorative panel is designed so that it looks like the front of the cabinet - so for yours, the decorative panel would look like the one side (left or right) of your doors. It isn't functional, it just looks nicer. There are some people who will go so far as to add their hardware to it as well, but that's a personal choice. |
I agree. I think the best place for the pantry is next to the fridge, but it needs to made to look like it belongs there and you planned it that way. In addition to the finished side panel, I would try to figure out a way to fill the space above both the fridge and the pantry to the ceiling, as you have for your other cabinets. |
Maybe an example would be helpful? Here is the side panel on the cabinet that covers the side of our fridge. I'm no expert, but field application at your place might just be a matter of cutting and fastening the rails, and then painting to match. Sometimes the pics I take with my ipad end up posting sideways or upside down. Sorry in advance if thats the case! |
Just want to say the rest of your kitchen looks great including your microwave. |
Does the cut paper chicken fit on that pantry side? Hang it there? Or other artwork? Or do what they're saying above & do a decorative panel--I'm just thinking you could skip that & do it with artwork instead. Are you doing anything above the fridge that you could tie to the top of the pantry & pantry to ceiling so it would all look a little more finished-off? You're right about the toe-kick popping it up some, then molding up top, but seems like making it more like a surround around the fridge would help too. |
meganmca, Yes, that's what I meant about bringing the fridge and cab together.... I can't visualize how to do that.....would someone out there be able to do a sketch or describe that? I have plenty of the same crown molding used on the other cabs. I also thought of putting artwork on the side. Doesn't it need some moulding or filler, at the least, between fridge and panel? |
Idabean, did you figure out a solution? |
Idabean, I think that it would be pretty easy to make a filler ( and/or incorporate an actual cabinet) to fit above the frig and pantry. Just some wood, one piece, cut to fit the spaces. Use your extra molding at the top; get a piece of compatible looking thin and narrow trim (like screen molding) to run across the bottom of the filler (at the top of the pantry) to edge it and continue that trim at the same level across the filler over the frig. That will visually tie the different heights together, I think. You could even attach some of that trim to the side of the cabinet to dress it up a little (like, frame the side with the molding) Of course, then you need to have a filler piece above the door side of the pantry too. Perhaps someone who can make and post a drawing will get what I am describing. Love the chicken! I have a Chinese watercolor chicken that I adore and no place to put it. |

Love the chicken! Where did you find it? One question: If you have to replace the fridge in the future, will a wider fridge fit there with the pantry next to the fridge? |

Also, I'd make the suggestion to add a pantry or broom closet between the fridge and wall if that wall is deeper than 26". Looks like you've got the room, and a standard sized larger refrigerator (36"W) will need the help with the clearance. |
thanks, all. Very happy to see a bump up to my questions. I hadn't done anything else. I've made friends with the pantry. We're "saving up" the last details so the carpenter can make a full day's work of it. With hollysp's help, at least I know what to do. Many thanks! I thought about the "new fridge" question before. The pantry is a free standing unit. You might have to remove or modify the framing but there's plenty of room for a bigger frig. Worst case, they'd have a pantry unit to put elsewhere or on Craig's list. My lovely chicken was at a tiny arts gallery in the next town. I loved it at first sight, but told my husband we could not buy it because it was too expensive. ($300). I am so happy he paid no attention. It was a real surprise birthday gift a few weeks later. Marie |
I deleted a lot of pictures. The opening height is 79" Hollysprings, you are suggesting the frig and pantry move closer to the doorway, and slim broom closet can be put between frig and left wall? |

There's room for a broom closet?!! |
I was wondering if that pantry was your broom closet that really wasn't a broom closet. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sunshine, a Sun Valley Doberman Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Doberman Pinscher for sale in Sun Valley, or seeking a Doberman Pinscher dog from a breeder in Sun Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sun Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
