Day 135: The Kitchen at Our Farm
We have a farm in the southern part of our state, where we grow winter wheat on which to graze cattle during the cold winter months. For the longest time, anytime Marlboro Man, Tim, and their dad had to travel down south to work cattle for several days, they were relegated to a very small motel in the very small town near the farm. They did this for several years—driving four hours south, checking into the motel, and staying for four or five days. It wasn't ideal, but it worked.
Finally, two or three years ago, we all decided to pitch in and build a house on the farm. More and more, the kids were starting to travel down south with Marlboro Man and Tim, and motel living clearly wasn't going to work for the long term. So we all tasked Marlboro Man and Tim's mother with drawing up the house herself and seeing it through to completion. She loves homes, design, and comfortable country living, and though we had a limited budget, we knew she'd do as good a job as anyone. And she did.
My favorite thing about the house is the kitchen. With surprisingly little money, my mother-in-law created a very functional—but, I think, really homey and inviting—space. And it didn't surprise me. With the exception of her four years in college, she's lived in the country practically her entire life.
Rather than order expensive cabinets built by a cabinet manufacturer, she simply had her contractor build cabinets on site. And for the doors and drawer fronts, she used simple beaded wood. They're simple, easy, and they didn't cost a pretty penny. Who can argue with that?
One of my favorite things about the kitchen is the butcherblock countertop on the island. We all just cut and chop right on it, wherever we're standing. It's where Tim cuts up his nuts.
His CALF nuts, of course! What kind of place do you think this is?
But my favorite thing about the kitchen, I think, are the open shelves. Everything—from the white dishes over on the right side of the room, to the measuring spoons, spices, and coffee cups on the left—is right there and accessible, and easy to grab. Even in many of the lower cabinets, my mother-in-law opted for simple, open shelves. As a result, I love cooking at the farm. It's just so easy.
I love the idea of open shelves in the kitchen at the Lodge, but I'm also aware of the possible perils: dust, dust, dust, and then there's the inevitable dust. Plus, let's face it: with open shelving, you can't really be messy or it's all out there for everyone to see.
Do any of you have open shelves in your kitchen on which you set plates, pots, pans, and everything else? What's you're experience? Are you sold on the idea, or do you sometimes wish you had a door behind which to hide your secrets? Does the dust take over? Or do I just have an unnatural sensitivity to dust?
Hey, I've lived in the country for ten years. Dust will make you afraid.
Even if you don't have open shelves, I'd love to hear your thoughts. We're nailing down the kitchen design this week, and though my mother-in-law is my fearless leader, we'd both love a last minute pep talk.
Thank you, my friends. As usual.

I would never have open shelves. The thought of dust accumulating would drive me nuts. I'd be washing each plate before I used it. I do like glass doors like you have in your kitchen, though.
My husband is designing our dream home (emphasis on dream) and I've shown him your kitchen. Although he agrees you have a wonderful amount of space, he thinks the "work triangle" would be too large for us. He's all about having an efficient "work triangle." Which I take it to mean the fewer steps you have to take to each major appliance is best. That's all I know.
Pat-the-Mommy On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:29 am
Oh, and we want to have the pots and pans hanging from a rack over the cookstove. That would be very handy, but I'd still have to inspect them for dust and/or dead bugs before I used them. Just sayin….
Sheri On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:30 am
No freaking way am i 2nd on here?!?!
I love the idea of open shelves, but I also know that there is no way I'll keep them organized enough for company. So, I'll ooh and aah over everyone else's. And, like you said, dust, dust, and more dust! Nuff said . . .
Amanda On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:33 am
Open shelves are a great theory, and look wonderful in magazines, but for long term living I wouldn't do them. We have a set of them on our lower cabinets and even though they're recessed a bit, they catch everything. I hate them. I'd like to meet the brilliant person who thought that one up.
Becky from Canada On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:37 am
I think dust would be such a problem that it wouldn't be worth it. And unless your VERY organized….which I'm not….it would be a nightmare. Go for cupboards with doors Ree you won't regret it. Bec
Marcia On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:38 am
I love this post. My kitchen is very tiny, basically a galley with sink counter and stove on one wall and the other has a dresser with many drawers and many open shelves above. I am quite tall so this works easily for me and I love being able to turn around and reach everything. Through the years I have accumulated pretty bowls and containers which make me smile when I use them or just have a look at the kitchen.
In the "how the other half lives department, I work for a very high end design build firm and our design principal and many of the other architects are always saying their favorite kitchens are those without above counter cabinets. I have to agree, when I tour our projects which are done that way.
LOVE your farm kitchen! Great fireworks, too.
Laura S On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:39 am
I grew up on a farm in KY – a tobacco farm, so there was lots of dirt and dust, but I have even more dust now, living in a subdivision outside Nashville. I don't think I could do open shelves ever because of the insane amount of dust in this world (and dusting is my least favorite household chore).
sharon On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:49 am
Even in my cabinets, I see dust. One way to eliminate/reduce that is to forgo the forced air heat. You baseboard heaters instead which don't stir up a lot of dust.
But unless you are using the stuff everyday, you are going to get dust.
Betty Price On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:50 am
How about a little of both? We have a hanging pot rack and it works great–pots are used so often no time for dust to accumulate. Items which are used daily could be in open shelves, items used less frequently could be between closed doors.
MrsKish On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:54 am
I agree with Sheri, I love the open shelf concept, but I wouldn't be able to keepm them organized enough for company tor company to come over. However, I think cabinets with glass doors are sweet. That way you can semi- hide what's lurking behind the doors.
Janet On Tuesday, July 8 at 5:57 am
I think a combination of open shelving and closed cabinets would be perfect, then you have messy areas and areas where you can display your prettier stuff. I LOVE the glass-front cabinets in your kitchen in the 4th photos.
chocolatechic On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:01 am
I love the combo of open shelving and the cabinets.
"but my favorite thing" is the island. How there are some open shelving underneath the stove. Brilliant.
If you are concerned about dust, why not have glass fronts. That will continue the open feel, but they were very prevalent in the 40's and 50's so it will also give an old timey feel.
Liz-RedApron On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:02 am
I absolutely hate to dust. Open shelves look wonderful in magazines and catalogs, but in reality, I don't think I'd be using every single dish, glass, pot, spice in such a regular way that I wouldn't have to dust! Dead moths, dog hair, bird feathers that float out of nowhere, dust bunnies, eww.
But I love the farm kitchen!
Trish On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:10 am
Drawers are better than cupboards, in my experience. Especially for the under-counter ones, you don't have to bend down to see what's hiding at the back.
I like the look of open shelves, and I have some beautiful serving bowls and vases that I would like to have on display. But dust is a problem, so I might look for some good glass-fronted cabinets for those pieces.
I worked in a caterer's kitchen once and fell in love with the enormous pantry. All the non-perishable food, and many of the serving dishes were stored in the pantry. Any kitchenware or tableware that wasn't used every single day was kept in the pantry, whilst the daily-use stuff was kept in drawers either side of the dishwasher. This meant fewer cupboards in the kitchen, and more room for the big cooking-class table the chef had. I've always liked that idea, having a big table in the kitchen that everyone can congregate around. The kitchen in your farmhouse is great – it would look big and solid and overwhelming if you'd had to make it an island bench full of cupboards. It's nice being able to see the stools underneath.
Robin (PENSIEVE) On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:11 am
I'm with the masses; because The Lodge is designed to host a BUNCH of people–more than your farm house now–you're going to have more stuff to put on shelves…which means more to keep organized…more to dust.
A few opens might satisfy your taste for it.
Hmmm, but also, not having them at The Lodge will keep that "look" special for your farm house.
(And I LOVE that butcher block island!)
Lois On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:15 am
Have seen the shelving in lots of magazines and think they are cool BUT like most everyone else how do you keep them neat plus I think you need cool look dishes. Do like chocolatechic's idea of the glass fronts on the cabinets.
Beth from the Funny Farm On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:16 am
I would never have open shelves. To my eye.. it just looks like unfinished cupboards. I also think that the dust would drive me crazy. My prediction: Your going to regret open cabinets if you do this…
Pat On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:26 am
I hate dust. You'd never know that by the amount you'd find if you came to my house, but I really do hate it. I think open shelves look great, like in your pictures here, but I'd never want them myself. Too much added work trying to keep them clean. My kitchen cabinets definitely hide secrets. Maybe that's my problem.
kerry On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:26 am
i would hate to have dust all over my dishes. even with cabinet doors there's going to be some, but you're guaranteed it with open shelving. and then add in that you'll only be there occasionally, well, blech.
Jen E On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:27 am
We have a few open shelves in our kitchen and I like them. However, my husband is constantly renovating our "fixer-upper" house and I have to wash anything before i use it. The dust in here is amazing! I may not be completely objective, though, since we have been living with no cabinets for over a year and keep our dishes on a bookshelf in the laundry room. Also, we have ugly non-matching dishes. I look forward to the day the renovating is over and we have pretty dishes that match and aren't kept in the laundry room…..
Kimmer On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:27 am
I am a kitchen designer and, in my house, I have a mix. My everyday dishes are on open shelves (they don't have time to get dusty- I have 3 punks and we entertain often!) and the other items (read: Not Pretty items) are behind closed doors so I don't have to see the mess. Who wants to look at the Wal Mart cereal bowls the kids like to use? Or the tupperware?!
We also have an open storage/pantry closet that holds most of the odd small appliances that seem to accumulate when you like to cook and people don't know what gifts to give you… bread machine, quesadilla maker, extra mixers, wine rack, meat grinder, etc etc etc… they're close to the kitchen, within easy reach, but out of sight and not taking up the valuable storage within the work triangle.
LOVE your sight Ree- you make me laugh! Thanks for sharing with us! Best of luck with the new kitchen… although, judging from the above photos, if mom-in-law is helping you've got it made! Have fun with it!!!
Jan C On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:28 am
Yeah, I have to agree with most of the commenters above. Having to dust the dishes would certainly negate any of the "ease of cooking" you could achieve by having open shelves. And you'd have to keep everything on the open shelves wonderfully organized if you didn't want the kitchen to look like an eyesore. Not even Martha Stewart has open shelves, and I'm guessing it's for a good reason!
carolyn On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:29 am
Your MIL is awfully cool. I think you can do open shelves if the top shelf is just display stuff that can get dusty b/c you don't actually eat food on it. Won't the top shelf shelter the lower ones from dust? Or does that dust out there actually blow around and find every surface?
NonnieM On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:29 am
I live in the country. I would never have open shelves. Way too much maintenance.
Naomi On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:30 am
I would go with a mix if I could design my own kitchen. And I think I would make the everyday dishes clear glass, then have accents for something special once in a while.
I would make the shelves up top open and have doors on the cabinets below…for hiding stuff.
And because of pet hair that doesn't always get vacuumed every day.
Pat On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:31 am
P.S. I'm loving the backed up shots of the entire room! Thanks!
Janet On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:32 am
I agree that there would be too much dust to deal with on open shelves so I'd opt for glass doors. That's how I designed our new kitchen. I have a floor to ceiling, deep, open shelf bookcase on one end of the L-shaped space (as far from the cooking area as possible to avoid grease build-up) for my cookbooks as well as some display space. We have a very open floor plan, and these shelves sort of signal "this is the end of the kitchen".
There's a very Zen feel to your farm kitchen. Your MIL does great work!
Patti O'Donnell On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:34 am
Dust, I hate to dust. Too many other things to do in life, like quilt. Put the doors on so you can go do the things you love in life! PattiO
Tracye On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:36 am
When my husband and I remodeled out home we put new cabinets in but we used glass fronts on half of them. That way we can show the pretty and hide the ugly! We just had the cabinet makers do a 'window pane' type of front on the doors. Then I ordered small sheets of hand blow glass (the kind with the cool little air bubbles in it), cut it,and attached the panes with a framers staple gun (as in 'picture frame' framers gun not house framer). I did do a little clear silicone caulking around the glass to keep it from rattling when the doors got slammed.
Bridget On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:40 am
I have glass doors and don't have any trouble keeping things organized. So, then it boils down to the dust issue. I say "Go for it"! Who cares if you have to take a dishcloth to the plates? Not me!
Your mother-in-law, who is adorable, did brilliant design work at the farm. I especially love the second refrigerator. How cool is that?
Ellen in NY On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:40 am
I see dust even in my closed cabinets, so I would not do open cabinets – although, they are cool looking.
I need to borrow your mother-in-law for design tips!
NorthGaGal On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:41 am
In our guest quarters, Cap'n Steve and I decided to do curtains.. very homey country kind of thing. We should be completely through in the next couple of weeks but here is a peek at the prototype curtains.. http://northgagal2.blogspot.com/2008/06/guest-quarters-another-peak.html. I love your farm's kitchen – It reminds me of my grandmother's farm in Wiggins Mississippi from years and years ago – except of course your luscious appliances – those are SWEET…I can lust after appliances even though I don't consider the kitchen a native habitat can't I? Cheers, NGG!
heidi On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:41 am
no comment on the design, since my kitchen looks like this:
However, i WILL say that you should definetly paint it white or a very light color, because i imagine you'll be doing lovely photo shoots for PW Cooks in there
Sarah On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:45 am
My kitchen has been unfinished for 6 years and although now we have cabinets up (taken from the trash heap, for real, the trash heap) we had open shelves for about 5 years. The problem isn't the dust, as much as the grease from cooking that sticks to everything, and THEN the dust on top of that. It's truly disgusting. Anything you don't use every week will get like this, and the only thing that will take it off is a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. What a pain in the ass!
Hallie On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:48 am
I absolutely LOVE the look of open shelves but was thrilled when we moved to a new house with cabinets. The dust was horrible – everything had to be rinsed or washed before you could use them. I suggest mostly ahve cabinets but have some open shelves. Will save you a ton of stress – especially when you go to get your neighbor a glass of water and find dust AND a dead fly inside.
Gale On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:49 am
Open shelves for display only. If you are going to use the dishes keep them inside cupboards. If it's a working kitchen you even get a grease film on the dishes if they are out for long periods of time.
The Homesteading Housewife On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:49 am
I love the look and the idea of open shelves but, I am no way near type A enough to always have them that Neat and tidy!
I'm lucky not to get smacked in the head with falling china when I open my cabinets.
Beautiful concept, and I really admire those who can pull it off…. but alas, I am not that person.. Oh yeah.. then there is the dust!
Sunnie On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:50 am
I love the look but I agree it doesn't seem practical.
Life On The Planet On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:54 am
Dust is the enemy. Avoid at all costs.
tj On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:56 am
…Hi Ree, the open shelves "look" wonderful and it is the 'she-she-poo-poo' look now in all the mags and home renovation shows, but in real life? I don't think so. I cringe when I see open shelves in the kitchen and then on the floor you see the dog food bowl – EGADS!
…That look is only for a kitchen with no children, no pets, one person or two people at the most with one having an OC cleaning disorder…lol… ;o)
…Love the kitchen tho'! I say, "move over Ty Pennington, Ree's MIL in on the scene now!"…lol
Tracy Y. On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:56 am
I think it depends on what your plans are for this lodge. If you are planning on using it mainly for guests, I don't know if I would do the open shelves. While they can be beautiful and clean and cool, that puts more work on your guests to make sure everything is put back just so. And that also means that you would have to go and clean everything before every time you had guests.
Tricia On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:56 am
I love the IDEA of open Shelves…but no way could I have them. I'm too messy. LOL
Theresa On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:56 am
Your MIL did a fanfreakingfabulas job on designing the farm kitchen! The open concept is nice, but, i would really be concerned about the dust and other things getting onto the dishes at the lodge. you could have the best of both worlds though. The glass cuboard doors in your kitchen made me almost swoon! in the lodge you could just use plain glass framed with wood for the doors. that way you have an "open" homey feeling, but the clear glass doors will keep the dust out. I would only have the glass doors on the upper shelves. Any proffessional carpenter worth his/her salt can make those up on site and the cost would a little more gentle on the budget. I would also vote for pots and pans hanging over the stove.
Karin On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:57 am
I have open shelving in my kitchen and love it. Dust is not really a problem- I wipe down the shelves once a week or whenever a spot is empty (like when we have a big dinner). To prevent things from floating into your glasses, store them upside down. Easy-peasy. I like the fact that I can just grab-and-go with the things stored on the shelves. Makes putting things away much easier. But, you cannot let things pile up and get messy because then everyone will see and go home and call their friends and teel them about what a pig sty you live in. In other words, you will automatically become a great housekeeper!
Elsie from Oz On Tuesday, July 8 at 6:58 am
Please I BEG you – no open shelves – they look great BUT not just the dust but the cooking grease – the dishes etc always seem to be greasy if you IGNORE them for any length of time (this can be 10 seconds, hours or days). We cleaned our house before we left to visit our home in Sweden – things were SPOTLESS no grease – came home to greasy dishes and shelves – no one except the pixies were in the house while we were away for 6 weeks – amazing!!!
Southern Gal On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:05 am
If you like the openness, then go with open shelves. If you're scared of the dust, then I'd go with glass door on the cabinets…or invest in one of those neat dusters from flylady. com. It picks up every bit of dust without moving a thing!
Starwoodgal On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:07 am
I wouldn't do open shelves because of the dust. I'm also dust OCD. The Swiffer people have made way too much money with me. I had glass doors on my dish cabinet (only that one) in one of my homes. It was really pretty and did show off my dishes, but it seems I was always wiping little finger prints off the glass. I still like the idea you had for "no upper cabinets". Maybe use a big old serving buffet with drawers, plate racks, and shelves for all the dishes and silverware.
Michele R. from KS On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:10 am
I live on a farm and my house gets dusty so quickly. I love the look of the open shelves, but since you won't be at the Lodge daily using dishes, etc. I think cabinets with doors would be best. I think the glass doors on some of the uppers looks nice and gives an open feel.
Maureen On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:11 am
I have beautiful barnwood shelves with wrought iron brackets that my father made for us. They hung in our first kitchen when I married, and while lovely, they allowed every item on them to become dusty, greasy, yucky (because, if you actually cook in your kitchen, this stuff happens!). When we moved, they came out of the kitchen and made great bookshelves. Open shelves are great for display, but not practical for real life (at least for me).
Now I have one large hutch with glass doors that holds all the Fire King Jadeite (yes, I covet your much-larger-than-mine collection!) and the really pretty serving pieces. All the other cupboards are closed, which is much easier. When we do a new kitchen (sometime in the future) I would like a mixture of solid and glass-fronted cabinets. And drawers absolutely work better on the lower cabinets.
The farm kitchen looks great! I'd love to cook there.
carrie On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:11 am
The kitchen is beautiful! I think for the little time you spend there the open shelves are perfect. If it was my home that we lived in all the time….. I would need cabinets with doors. You hit it right on the nail….. order and dust!!
I think it all looks great.
Robyn On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:12 am
I agree with you that the kitchen is simple and beautiful!
In our first apartment, we didn't have any cabinets, so my husband and bought an open-backed bookshelf on which to store all of our plates, cups, mugs and baking-wear. However, the bookshelf didn't fit everything, so we also bought a stand-alone island that has two lower shelves. This island fits our pots and pans.
I love storing items on my bookcase and never had a problem with dust. You do have to be somewhat good about stacking everything in a neat manner all the time -not so much for looks but because everything wouldn't fit otherwise! As for the islands, its good, but not the greatest. Mostly because I do a lot of prepping and mixing on the top of the island and flour/breadcrumbs/sugar/whatever can travel far. Often my frying pans and pots are coated with a bit of flour. That part annoys me, but I deal with it. An option would be to get a tension rod on which to hang a curtain and put that across the lower part of the island. I just haven't gotten around to doing that – in 5 years. Maybe this weekend…
okfarmerswife On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:13 am
Living in the dust bowl myself, I'd vote no on open shelving.
Sandy On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:13 am
Depends on the amount of control you have over those who use your kitchen. Shelves look great when you've have new/matching dishes bought for the kitchen and your spices, etc. are lined up. Unless you do all the work and don't let anyone else put stuff away, things will get jumbled. You have several homes — where do you store all the leftover plates, glasses, etc.? The old cookie sheets that work but look horrible? The — junk?? Keeping it real …
Paula from NS Canada On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:16 am
My pantry is all open shelving and I love it in there….dust isn't too much of a problem. But in my kitchen, that is another story!! When we redid our kitchen, I didn't have cabinet doors for almost a year, you do have to be tidy, and unless you go with monochromatic dishes, it is a pretty busy sight for the eyes. Dust is not the only foe you ahve to battle, mixed with dust is the grease from your cooking also!! Nasty combination!!!
Pleased to say that my cabinet doors are now on…dust and grease "be GONE"!!!
Kasia On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:17 am
I had open shelving on lower shelves and it was AWFUL. I had 2 cats and a dog them an it was nearly impossible to keep the pet hair out of the cabinets! I'd say opt with glass front doors if you are really stuck with the idea of open shelves. Then you'd at least get some of the look without so much mess.
Sophie from London On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:18 am
We have a couple of glass open shelves (as well as a whole lotta cupboards) and I have to say that, while they look nice, they do get very dusty. Especially as there is a crack just above the shelves that is growing every day and sends a festive sprinkle of dust down regularly! (Thankfully our place is rented)
I also have to act as repo man for the spiders that take a shine to my fancy, cocktail glasses…Ah the joys of renting in the world's most expensive city
Karen On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:18 am
Strong opinion incoming from Oklahoma farmgal………no large quantity of open shelves! Some things need not be shared, mess, dust, etc. Just have one or two and let that be all….good luck
Beth, the former farm girl On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:20 am
We are in the midst of updating our kitchen and we've opted to do some open shelving right over the dishwasher. I've asked a lot of people and they tell me that they key is to use open shelving for things you use every day — not chotchkes and display pieces. That way, the dust doesn't have time to accumulate because you're pulling things on and off all the time.
We are putting our open shelving above the dishwasher where it will store our plates and bowls. (We have all white dishes). But I agree with Sandy above … if you have a hodge podge of plates and dishes, hide it behind a door for goodness sakes!
numnum On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:22 am
I have open shelves on the uppers on either side of my sink for things I wash and use just about every day. All my white dishes are piled up there. It is so handy and never gets too dusty because of turnover!
Ariel On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:24 am
I love the concept of open shelving. I'm just not sure I'm brave, well clean, enough to make it work. I really like clear glass cabinetry as well. Same concept without the dust!

Elizabeth On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:25 am
We're renovating our kitchen right now and open shelving is one of the ways were solving a cabinet issue and saving some cash. My husband is a seminary student, so money is tight, but the utility cabinets that were in our little kitchen literally had the doors falling off of them when we opened them. We knew we needed to upgrade, but we had to figure out how to do it on a shoestring budget.
Enter Craigslist. We found a couple that was tearing out perfectly good oak cabinets to upgrade their home. We purchased more than enough cabinets for our kitchen for $150- total! With a coat of white paint and some new hardware, they will look great in our kitchen.
However, since we did get cabinets from an existing kitchen, we have one section in the upper cabinet area that doesn't have a cabinet to fit. Our solution is to put up nice shelving, which will display my collection of primary color dishes. I think they will pop agains the white backdrop. While I wouldn't want an entire kitchen full of shelves (I need to be able to hide my mess somewhere!), I do think they will be a nice visual break in a line of cabinets. So go for it!
Tammy On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:26 am
Hi Ree! Love this kitchen! Why not have a little bit of both? Open shelving where you do most of your prep and cooking etc. and closed doors to hide the items that you use but not as often. I really can't see the dust being so bad that a swiffer couldn't knock off in a minute or two do you?
Each year that goes by I find myself making everything more simple and functional. This kitchen your MIL designed is perfect! I'd go with it.
Shanelle On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:27 am
Psshhhh, dust. I grew up in the country. There's nothing scary about dust. Besides, with the amount of traffic your kitchen(s) see, the dishes wouldn't sit long enough to collect much, right?
I don't have open shelves in my kitchen, but if I owned rather than rented I absolutely would. I love the look of neatly-stacked dishes (even mismatched ones!) and yes, I do keep my cabinets neat & tidy behind their closed doors. It's a bigger pain to dig around finding what I need than it is to just put it back in its proper place. If only that logic extended to the rest of my house….
But I digress. Yes, I like the look of open shelves, but I would also like to see a few closed cabinets, for those kitchen supplies that just aren't pretty no matter how you look at them, like Tupperware and… well… pretty much anything plastic. (I hate plastic.)
Angie On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:27 am
No open shelves, please! The dust is a no brainer, but I do not have time to coordinate my dishes all the time to make them look presentable. ( Oh. And where would I hide my collection of Taco Bell plastic cups with no cabinet doors? )
Andi On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:27 am
I love the idea of open shelves, but since I'm not the best cleaner in the world, it would, no doubt end in disaster. I'd be frustrated that I couldn't keep them dusted and either hang a towel over them or run screaming into the night.
Jenny On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:28 am
I love the idea of the open shelving, but the idea of the dreaded dust bugs me too. Maybe the cabinets with the frosted glass fronts?

Have to go with what a lot of others are saying ….. LOVE the look of the open shelves, but I wouldn't put them in due to practicality. Dust, dog hair, flies … yuck. Also, depending on who would be cooking at the Lodge, maybe sometimes the guests themselves? Well, that could also add to the greasy film that is inevitable in a kitchen from cooking.
I can see that at the Farm the open shelves might work … we used to go to a cottage that had open shelves and it seemed to work okay. Then again, I was a kid and kids don't notice the things that some adults do
Glass fronts would be a great compromise … glass fronts for the dishes that are used the most and closed cupboards or drawers for the less used ones.

I live in the country and we have plenty of dust. I also have open shelves and I love them. Above the counter cabinets crowd me. Everything that is on my shelves gets used alot so it is washed frequently. I love a utilitarian kitchen. I would also advise of using lots of drawers vs. the typical shelf covered by a door below the counter tops. AS far as grease from the kitchen well get a really good hood and that is simply not a problem. I don't even really have grease on the wall behind the stove. But we are talking a really good hood like industrial strength.

So I have to ask…….. is that a stained concrete floor? Sure looks like stain with a buffed finish. If it is, couldn't your MIL have helped with your lodge staining project? Looks like she has a handle on the process!
Open Shelves – only for really frequently used items IMO and only for uppers. Too much in the way of dirt, dust and dog hair gets kicked up to have lower open shelves in my world.
Lower Drawers – wonderful – much nicer than lower cabinets even with slide out shelves
Tall SHALLOW cabinets – wonderful for all your dishes and glasses. EAsy to access for kids (or punks) and nothing ever gets lost in the back. Also tends to get your stuff rotated and used more evenly but that may be a minor consideration. I like using really tall upper cabinets as base cabinets to flank an island – sit on a toe kick – use glass doors so dishes can be seen.
Jenny On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:31 am
BTW, I love that exterior door at the farm? Was it custom made? These are things I need to know.
Bethann On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:32 am
I have the open shelves in my farm kitchen as well. I love it now – although when the kids were home, I would find more interesting things in the back than I do now with the empty nest.
East to clean, easy to find things, keeps a lid on buying things you dont need because they are right there in your face. And in the end, it tends to keep you a little more "honest" in your organization. There is little option from actually putting it where it belongs. Not a lot of opportunity for just shoving things anywhere just to get to the activity you would rather be doing.
Melissa_NZ On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:33 am
The Lodge is really looking good Ree. As for open shelves, unfortunately, I have a mix in this house. I dont like shelves at all unless its for spices, coffee cups or tea, sugar n coffee jars. Thats it really. And this is for the dust reason. Also Im that type that loves a bare kitchen look. No I dont use the cupboards to hide a mess at all LMAO. The island, I prefer drawers to cupboards. I love the space in the kitchen though. Open plan is my style. I have seen, on tv, islands that have pots n pans hanging above. It certainly looks different and interesting but im not sure if I would really have that. I would doubt it though. Your kitchen looks great to be honest. There is only one thing I didnt like though… and that was the lights. The amount of them… is far too many in my opinion. I can feel the shiver run up my spine thinking about having to clean them. Im also a power saving freak LOL. its a case of having to where I live. But thats another story. I know if I was living in the country it would be a different story. I like having one light on at a time if I can help it. But then again, my house is no where near as big as the lodge or your own house
Lisa from Kentucky On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:33 am
I wouldn't want open shelves. To me it looks like a rental cabin. One that comes with the linens and mismatched plates and glasses. That stuff always seems dirty to me and I end up washing them to death before we use them. After all, we don't know who or what might have used them and not washed them very well or at all. I would opt for regular cabinets, perhaps with glass kind of like you have in your kitchen at home. I like the look of that.
dognutmom On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:33 am
Okay, that was me above
Wanted to add, that sometimes pictures in the magazines look GREAT, but the actual practicality of some of the ideas, not so much.
I used to work for an interior contracting firm during my university days – both as the bookkeeper and office cleaner. They bought a townhouse for their office and put chrome handrails for all the flights of stairs (3 stories plus we used the basement). Looked great after I polished them, gleaming softly in the light. Until the first person went up the stairs … they usually had big smudges on them all the live long day. Not practical at all.
Donna On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:37 am
Hey! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the butcher block island with the stove – genius!!!!!
Open cabinets + dust = pain in a$$. Dust is NOT my friend. But then I'm a freakazoid. I clean my floors within an inch of their lives, but dust has to jump out and beat me before I touch it. SO. . . . I avoid any and all things that can collect that that I call evil.
Pam On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:38 am
I vote for the glass front doors on cabinets, deep lower drawers which makes it easier to find stuff and a really big pantry.
The pantry is one of the best things about my new kitchen. I can even keep the small appliances in there that I don't use much.
I'm way to disorganized for open shelves and I hate to dust. Which is really bad when you live in Texas and there is a drought, cause its always dusty.
Bev.B On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:39 am
I have a few open shelves they work great. That is because the dishes that are on them I use every day. Also place mats are kept under the dishes and no fancy dodads.
Brandiosa On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:42 am
My new husband and I have open shelves in our apartment! I love it! Easy to find, grab and put away! No doors, no dust, no mess! We have glasses on top, rim down, kitchen aid and microwave below, plates and bowls below and serving platter under that. Works great! DO IT!
leslie On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:47 am
I have been fortunate to have lived all over and experenced many styles of kitchen design and even two galleys–one a small "efficiency" galley on a 35 foot boat and the other a 65 foot luxury yacht slipped in Marina Del Rey, with a galley that would rival any land kitchen, so I feel I speak from experience. Do to my husbands job we have always done alot of enteraining. My favorite kitchen EVER was our outdoor kitchen in Los Angeles. I loved each and every kitchen at the start and once ou start using them every day it does not take long to find the flaws. Yes, I too liked the open shelves and thought the dust would be the primary issue but proved to be only a minor source of irritation. Since I do a tremendous amount of cooking and entertaining I quickly learned that the grease from cooking, even with a vented hood in use, did not prevent the grease from traveling around the kitchen and landing on all exposed surfaces. Do not ask me why I have never noticed this on the cabinet doors in all my other kitchens but I most certainly did not. The dishes used daily obviously did not have the problem but the show pieces and what nots, and gadgets had a thin layer of grease that would attract and catch the dust. Now think of a layering effect after weeks of no use. You truly had to use grease relase formulas to clean these pieces prior to use. The feel was tacky and sticky to the touch. Even with glass front cabinet doors I never experienced this before> It makes no since but I can only report my findings. My favorite indoor kitchen was in Solvang, CA (wine country) and had three dishwashers! I thought at first who would ever use so many dishwashers and what a waste of space. I quickly found out what I had been missing all these years. Two disherwashers were the drawer models on each side of the kitchen sink–wonderful and effiecent for puting away dishes. The thrid dishwasher was across the kitche and was a regular dishwasher with a door model and two racks. This was by the drink station and used for fine glassware and barware. That was the biggest luxury I ever had in a kitchen. I even preferred it to the Wolff range and paneled front refrigerator and freezer that blended in with the walls. There was also an area on the island with a small refrierator under it specifically for produce–handy to the small vegetable sink located on the island at the end. A chopping block next to the sink. Then there was a small wine holder that disappeared down under the cabinet. You would never know it was there except it had a rope that attached to the wall at the end of the cabinet and was afixed to the top of the round marble cover that appeared to be part of the cabinet. What you did was take the rope and pull (as if you were drawing water from a well) and a shelf with 6 bottles of stored wine would come up from below the house. This was suppose to be for ideal storing and temperature (cool,dark, below ground). Geesh, haven't they ever heard of a wine refrierator from Cost-Co? This was truly a unique feature and a cool conversation piece. The most important thing to me in the kitchen is lots of huge windows to look out on beautiful scenery (ocean, vineyard, downtown skyline, woods, etc) This to me transports your mind and makes the time in the kitchen fly by. I never want to leave my kitchen.I guess beauty, functionality, and a few unique or totally over the top features make the kitchen the home. Another kitchen we had in Topanga, CA had a huge brick fireplace and a pizza oven. My husband built in to have an old fashioned iron swing arm in it where you could cook a cast irn pot of beans, or stew in the fireplace. Every kitchen has been a joy and all so different. I know now what I want in my perfect kitchen and we will be starting our construction for our final home the end of this year. Wish me luck!
leslie h (in MD) On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:51 am
I love the look of open shelves, but only if staged for a magazine spread. I do not believe they are suited for every-day living, unless you are (a) an anal-retentive neatnick, or (b) have staff. Doors hide much.
PS: I think your Farm's kitchen is larger than my entire condo …
Hick's Wife On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:52 am
My Mom has really thick, carved, open shelving at her ranch with Mexican tile from counter top to ceiling behind it and it's my favorite thing in her kitchen, besides her huge island. She has stacks and stacks of Mexican pottery on her shelves and it's like artwork to look at. So, I say, go for it, if that's your favorite thing at the farm kitchen, and unless is just horrible, a little dust is just not going to hurt anyone. I've got a teeny but functional kitchen and as soon as we can do a little remodeling, open shelving is the first thing I'm doing! I'm kind of a minimalist and I like the idea of having out what we use on a daily basis and using it over and over again….it makes me feel old-fashioned and simple, in a good way. That and the artist/non-conformist in me that just has to be fed sometimes Have FUN with it no matter what!
farmwifetwo On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:53 am
I want to cut my doors and put glass in them. Dh won't let me near them since they are the last of the built, right there by the carpenter variety.
It's not dust here that's the problem. It's the sand… beach sand… gets in EVERYTHING.
bboss On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:53 am
I would have half and half. The mostly used items in open shelves (dishes, glasses, pots/pans, etc.) and then some cabinets to hide your kitchen sins. I suppose if you're a neat freak, you could rinse everything out before you use it. My MIL cleans every pot BEFORE she uses it as well as after. Drives me crazy!
Debbie in Memphis On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:58 am
That is a beautiful kitchen! I would give one of my kids for a kitchen like that…well, ok…the oldest one, not one of the babies. She's 22 and getting married this weekend anyway I love the open shelving. I would think half and half is the way to go. Some shelves and some cabinets. It still give you hiding space
Bee On Tuesday, July 8 at 7:59 am
Wow. I'm surprised at all of the open-shelf hating. I have only open shelves on top, similar to your farm kitchen (but in all white) and I don't have much of a problem with it. I keep it pretty spare and I am single, so maybe that helps. I'm neat but not anal retentive about it, and I dust but not all the time and I've never noticed a big problem. I definitely don't have flies in there. My casserole dishes that are on the top shelf may get dustier because I don't use them as much, but it's all worth seeing my cheerful red and white dishes/mugs/cookware and my shelf of cookbooks. I'd hate to have it all hidden away! To each their own, though.
I must confess before I go, that I love having closed shelves down below for throwing tupperware, cheese graters, and all other miscellaneous stuff, though.
Lauren (in PA) On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:05 am
I like a mix. I love the look of open shelving, but have to have cabinets to still all the stuff that doesn't "match" or will mess up the look.
And the general kitchen "film" that covers everything bothers me more than dust.
Rena Lou On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:05 am
I truly love the open shelving, but we live in the country and on a fairly busy road. At the end of our road is a huge sand pit so a construction co. is always running big trucks up and down it. It's pretty dusty-they could probably get dust into a sealed Ziploc baggie!!
But I do love the farmhouse. Your mother-in-law did a wonderful job.
~Mad On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:06 am
Actually, all I can see is those cast iron skillets on the cooktop…how old/!?!?!
I have my grandmother's and it is black-black-black with use.
And that painting on the far wall of the living room?? Charlie Russell?
~Mad in Alabama
margiesbooboo On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:06 am
i love what the gal in 80 was talking about! i want a fireplace in my kitchen that has the hangers so i can cook in there, and omg all those dishwashers! you could really use at least 2 dishwashers pw! maybe what you need is a glass covered door to display some of your things. the idea of a film of cooking grease freaks me out. dust, i check all my pots and pans anyway before i cook, its my personal ocd. my hubby tries to help me by putting up things from the dishwasher and he never checks them prior to doing so. several times he has taken dirty dishes out of the washer and placed them in my cabinets. apparently its my fault because i rinse things before the dishwasher. off topic!!
i love the cutting board island, bead board is great, you hafta have a wonderful sink by a big window. have you looked at subway tile? and you need a window seat in the kitchen too.
how do you do all these things and keep a blog going? is it in your coffee?
debra r On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:10 am
i think i like the idea of glass front doors than it all being open. thent hat way you can still stay away from the icky dust…. plus if you have really pretty dishes you don't want hiding in cabinets, you can still have them showing……
i would definately have an open kitchen, with a lot of space for fellowshipping with friends and family. anymore i think a lot of people entertain in the kitchen and that's where most everybody congrigates to…. i can't wait to see what you do. i am so jealous of anyone able to have a large kitchen. oh, don't forget to have double ovens too. that's a wish for the next house we every decide to move in to…..
Maria On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:11 am
My kitchen is about a quarter of the size of this one.
I love the look of the open shelves, but the dust and visible clutter would bother me. I would go with closed for the bottom and open shelves for the top. The best of both worlds. My old apartment had open shelves in only the corners on either side of the sink. It worked for me. The shelves weren't large enough to get cluttered or collect too much dust.
Dawna On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:11 am
I could keep them straight but no way could my dh or 2 yr old! It would be an open playgound for her!! Plus the dust would be a major problem! (I live in the same state as you) I like the beadboard cabinet doors; rustic yet "finished" looking too.
JenniferB On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:12 am
Cupboard doors are your friend — dust is not. I live on a farm also — the dust will make me go insane long before the cow poop my hubby tracks in.
Madison On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:13 am
We actually have sort of a combination – open shelves above, cabinets below. We keep frequently used things – bowls, cups, plates, etc – up above, and for the most part, everything gets used often enough that it doesn't have a chance to gather dust. (Come to think of it, most of the stuff that ISN'T used that often doesn't really seem to gather much of it. There's more in the cabinets below. I don't really know why.) It works pretty well – and there are still a couple places to hide the less attractive cookware and general stuff that you need in your kitchen that doesn't look pretty. The open cabinets are also a great place to store things in a pretty way – we put metal canisters of pasta, glass jars of beans and sugar, commonly used spices, and so on, up there, and it typically looks pretty good and gives you easy access to cooking supplies you might need.
marchelle On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:13 am
I LOVE the open shelving!! You need to accept the dust, PW. Be one with it. It's inevitable.
Karly On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:18 am
Maybe you could have a mixture…some open shelves and some regular cabinet, but the dust would bother me too. I think I would go with cabinets with glass doors, you kind of get the best of both worlds that way.
Lola On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:19 am
I don't have any open shelves in my kitchen. That's just the way it came. Anyways, a thought is that maybe you can have open shelves for things you use every day and doors to shut away the things you don't use every day. There could be a way to incorporate both into the kitchen and still make it look organized.
Krissy On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:20 am
We have mostly cabinets – but we do have one section that is 2 open shelves with a plate rack on the bottom. So I have all our dinner plates lined up – and the 2 shelves are for decoration.
Could be a good compromise? Have one area of open for things that are used frequently (i.e. would not collect a lot of dust since they will be taken down a lot), and the rest can be closed.
Ditto on the glass doors too – we have one of those as well along with a wine rack on the end of the kitchen.
stacey On Tuesday, July 8 at 8:20 am
I would do shelves up top, closable cabinets below and a nice big pantry if you have the room

More items for
Coating Materials
The global paint and coatings industry continues to consolidate, as Quest Specialty Coatings acquires protective coatings maker Patriot Paint and PPG Industries absorbs European architectural concern Dyrup.
Quest Specialty Coatings / Patriot Paint
Quest Specialty Coatings, a division of Quest Specialty Chemicals, has acquired the coatings business of Patriot Paint, of Portland, IN. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Patriot Paint
Founded in 1980 as a manufacturer of industrial anti-corrosive coatings, Patriot Paint produces coatings systems for a wide variety of metal substrates, from zero-VOC, anti-corrosive transportation coatings to multilayer decorative systems for metal caskets.
In 2007, the company was acquired by Polymer, a group of paint and chemical manufacturers.
Industrial, Transportation Markets
The new acquisition expands the coatings portfolio of Quest Specialty Chemicals, a holding company based in Menomonee Falls, WI. The company is a manufacturer of specialty coatings for the building industry, automotive, and OEM industrial markets.
Quest Specialty Chemicals also owns United Coatings, Quest Construction Products, Hydro-Stop, Zolatone, Fox Color, Raabe Company and Matrix System.
Quest Specialty Coatings is a major manufacturer in the aftermarket automotive paint industry, supplying paints, primers, hardeners, clear coats, and reducers.
"The acquisition of Patriot Paint adds to our product and market offerings in our overall objective to provide the industrial and transportation markets with a variety of solutions for how to protect and treat all metal substrates," said David Brunori, Executive Vice President, Quest Specialty Coatings.
The acquisition is the ninth for Quest Specialty Chemicals, founded in 2004.
PPG / Dyrup
PPG will gain a new foothold in the European architectural coatings market with its $160 million purchase of Copenhagen-based Dyrup A/S, manufacturer of architectural coatings and specialty products.
The deal is set to close Jan. 5, 2012. Dyrup is now owned by Monberg & Thorsen, a public holding company.
The acquisition expands PPG's geographic reach within Europe as well as its product portfolio.
Dyrup's Bondex, Dyrup, GORI and Xylophene brands are well known in both the DIY and professional markets, particularly in the wood care area. The company operates six manufacturing facilities on the continent and had $270 million in sales in 2010.
Growing European Presence
The deal "will help to grow PPG's presence in key countries such as Poland, France and Denmark, and to establish PPG in Portugal, Spain and Germany, where PPG today has little or no architectural coatings presence," said Viktor R. Sekmakas, president, PPG Europe.
J. Rich Alexander, who heads PPG's architectural coatings businesses, said, "We look forward to integrating Dyrup and its many highly skilled employees into our European business and to securing the future for Dyrup's brands and customers."
Monberg & Thorsen CEO Jørgen Nicolajsen said, "Dyrup and PPG represents a strong strategic combination with possibilities for further growth and synergies."

Coordinated School Health
Joint use is a way to increase opportunities for children and adults to be more physically active. It refers to two or more entities — usually a school and a city or private organization — sharing indoor and outdoor spaces like gymnasiums, athletic fields and playgrounds. The concept is simple: share resources to keep costs down and communities healthy.
The research is clear: the more active children are, the healthier they will be now and when they grow up. Yet certain places make physical activity harder instead of easier. Place matters since experts now know that where we live, work and play — the physical environment itself — determines, to a large degree, whether we will be healthy.
Too often, kids find the gate to their school's blacktop or basketball court locked after school hours, locking them out of opportunities to be active. Closing off recreational facilities after school leaves many children and families struggling to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines. They may live in an area without a nearby park or be unable to afford exercise equipment or a gym membership.
Joint use agreements can fix these problems. Joint use makes physical activity easier by providing kids and adults alike with safe, conveniently located and inviting places to exercise and play. Besides making sense from a health perspective, joint use agreements make sense financially because they build upon assets a community already has. Sharing existing space is cheaper and more efficient than duplicating the same facilities in other parts of the community.
Joint use agreements facilitate a partnership between two or more entities, often school districts and local government agencies (e.g. parks and recreation or nonprofit organizations, to open up spaces such as playgrounds, athletic fields, pools, and gymnasiums to the community outside of school hours or to open up community facilities to schools at a reduced cost or for free.
Joint use partnerships can be formal (based on a legal document) or informal (based on a handshake), but formal agreements offer increased protections for both the facility and the community group using the facility. Since school staffing can change over time, personal relationships are not the most secure way to guarantee access to facilities into the future. A formal agreement can also help prevent problems related to maintenance, operations, liability, ownership or cost from arising.
To be successful, partnerships should have:
In many communities, where safe places to play are few and far between, schools offer a variety of recreational facilities—from gymnasiums and running tracks to sports fields and playgrounds—to meet residents' needs. But districts often close their property to the public after hours, concerned about security, maintenance, liability, and other costs.
The good news is that school districts, local governments and other community-based organizations can share the costs and responsibilities of opening school property to the public after hours through joint use agreements. Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) has just released a toolkit that helps communities and school districts work together to develop joint use agreements increasing access to recreational facilities on school grounds.

Fandango's Original Valet Finally Revealed
The dancer who Fandango originally debuted with before Summer Rae is named Andrea Lynn. She is a 20-year-old dance instructor. She recently did an interview with BuffaloNews.com and said that WWE might bring her back in the future. When asked about Fandango's dancing, she said:
"That's not dancing, not at all," she said, shaking her head. "That's not giving the ballroom world justice. I can teach people how to dance if they want to learn."

My name is Peg Jones and I am the owner of Angelical Whispers. The Angels have helped me so much these past years in finding my voice and in helping me in seeing what my life can truly be for myself. The have shown me that my voice does matter, and that life have some pretty wonderful outcomes, in so many ways. The angels have shown me that they truly are with us, when we ask them for guidance. There are so many ways, they love to show this to us. Working and teaching about the angels, writing and speaking on the radio about the angels is my purpose. We meet so many in our lives who are hurting and in pain, because they feel alone and very helpless. The angels have shown me that we have all gone through these difficult times. Angelical Whispers, in about learning of this connection, with our angels and how they can guide us on our path, in so many ways.
My website is dedicated to helping all who want to learn and share about the angels, and how they help us on our path. I will posting about some Angel communication classes very soon. I would love for you to join the site to keep abreast of all that is offered here.. I have weekend events also at times. And of course you are welcome to join us.

Other examples of synchronicities are being saved from a passing car swerving on the road or falling down and feeling like you are being held and falling ever so gently. Or you hear or feel within yourself a message like "pay a certain bill" or "don't go down this road". These are signs that your angels are helping you.

The needle clamp screw for my "C" needle is stripped. It is very difficult to get out! I don't have a local Viking dealer anymore, so I am looking for a place where I can order the screw. I would prefer to replace the screw before I can no longer get the needle out.
Thanks for any help!
Melissa in Painted Post, NY
are you near a Lowes, or similar kind of hardware store? Take it there, It's pretty easy to match threads, and Lowes at least has a huge selection of that kind of hardware
The hardware person will probably show you this, but to see if the threads are the same, match the screw to the screw (in other words, put the thread end of the screws right next to each other, touching). if the threads are the same they align or fall into each other perfectly.
------Viking Lily 545

Brother 1034d
Thanks for responding. The screw is the tiniest hex-head screw. My husband says Lowe's probably won't have it, but I guess it won't hurt to check.
Maybe another dealer would mail you the screw.. I would search and find a list of possibles and start calling.
I agree that Lowe's isn't the right place. but maybe they can point you to another source. Machinist / tool maker shop might be a resource for finding the right place to purchase... commercial / industrial jobber of machine parts.
Good luck! IF you find one, get several!
------... cleverly disguised as a responsible adult!
I'm guessing that the screw is metric, so you may not find it easily in the US.

See what inspires this iconic designer in an interview from our September 2009 issue. For more, watch a video interview with Thomas Pheasant.
Even if Thomas Pheasant's face isn't instantly recognizable, his furniture and interiors most certainly are. The Washington, D.C., native is part of a stable of designers that includes Barbara Barry and Thomas O'Brien, whose work represents the furniture scene's haute couture. And within that group, Pheasant stands out for his ability to create a look that is at once architecturally grounded and traditional, yet contemporary.
"Lots of other designers knock off Thomas Pheasant because his work is so classic and elegant," says David Beaton, owner of Studio b in Toronto, where Pheasant's collections for Baker and McGuire are both top sellers. "He's a purist who never sacrifices design quality. The fit and finish [of his pieces] are both just unbelievable," Beaton continues.
Whether Pheasant is designing a room or a piece of furniture, his approach (or his "vocabulary," as he calls it) hasn't changed in over 30 years. A big part of that is involving the past in his designs.
"I have a great respect for longevity, but with a modern sensibility," he says, explaining how regular childhood trips to the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian influenced his work.
In addition to his indoor lines for Baker and McGuire, Pheasant also produces a line of custom, handcrafted, numbered furnishings, and most recently, an outdoor collection incorporating woven materials for McGuire. "For the outdoor collection, we took the vocabulary of the indoor collection and made it a little bit leaner and lighter," he says. "I want people to recognize me in my [work]. I want the evolution to be clear."
Despite this, Pheasant is careful to craft rooms that make his clients feel at home. "My role is to create interiors that my clients connect with and react to positively. Making beautiful spaces is easy. Making personal interiors — that's a different thing."
House & Home: What do you like most about your home?
Thomas Pheasant: It's a classically detailed house in the centre of Washington, and it has an enormous garden and pool. When I first saw it, I was so taken by the possibilities of what I could do with it. It took about 18 months to renovate.
H&H: What is the space like?
TP: It's a combination of one-of-a-kind pieces that I designed for the house, some that I acquired from other designers and some bigger pieces from my new Baker collection. There's also a great kitchen with heated floors.
H&H: What about your place in Paris?
TP: The apartment is in a beautiful 17th-century building on the Left Bank. It's a great example of how I try to bridge the past with the present. Half of it was architecturally intact; half had been ripped up over the years. I basically got rid of the contemporary elements and spent a lot of time putting back historic mouldings. Now the interior is connected with the historic sensibility of the building. But I used a bisque-white paint to keep it fresh, and designed all the furnishings so they're very contemporary.
H&H: Describe your style.
TP: Modern classicism meets casual elegance.
H&H: Do you collect anything?
TP: I have a fascination with clocks and have collected a number of beautiful pieces over the years. I think it's the combination of a simple face, Roman numerals and a neoclassic case that I can't resist. I feel the same way about watches. I have contacts with the best dealers in many cities, but that doesn't keep me out of the flea markets.
H&H: Where do you find inspiration?
TP: I can find something inspiring almost anywhere. Recently, I've been to Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas and Caracas. Each city offers something to you if you are open to it. It's interesting to see how geographic locations mould and influence lifestyles.
H&H: Who do you most admire?
TP: I admire people who are true to themselves and not swayed constantly by others or trends; designers who have developed their own vocabulary over time and evolved their work into recognizable creations. It's hard not to be swayed by outside forces. It is not about identifying with someone's style, but respecting their strength.
H&H: What are your best decorating tips for small spaces?
TP: Always start with art. Try to stick with a simple palette so there's flow from room to room. Be a good editor and only buy things you really love. We're big consumers in North America. It's a key difference between us and the Europeans. I tell my clients that.
H&H: What is the best gift you have ever received?
TP: My mother made me a book of family photos going back to the 1800s. She organized them chronologically with notes for each photo leading up to my birth. It's not something I could ever buy or replace.

Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary Studies
With economies becoming increasingly global, more opportunities are available for those with degrees to expand into new markets, new research and development, and new teaching roles. The future calls for more cooperation and cross-knowledge. Consequently, new careers are being developed with broader, interdisciplinary understandings. Due to this shift of focus, interdisciplinary degrees will play an increasing role in tomorrow's world.
Why choose Interdisciplinary Studies at Clearwater Christian
Broad educational base upon which a student builds a specific concentration of liberal arts, humanities, and biblical studies that support their precise career or ministry aspirations
Solid liberal arts core with a minor in Bible, the College academic standard, and an additional concentration in two other disciplines that the student selects in consultation with a faculty advisor
Interdisciplinary Studies allows for freedom within a prescribed course of study designed specifically for mastery of intellectual and educational disciplines not defined within the generic academic offerings
Pre-requisites and Admissions Requirements
In order to build a foundation for an advanced degree in a specialized field of study, students are required to complete at least 13 credit hours (25%) of the coursework at CCC in the chosen concentrations at the 300-400 level and hold a 3.0 grade point average by 45 hours. Transfer students must have a 3.0 GPA and complete at least 6 hours in the principal concentration and 3 hours in the second concentration at CCC.
Courses selected for the Interdisciplinary Studies degree may not be commensurately pursued for a second degree. Because of the nature of the Interdisciplinary Studies degree, students must choose concentrations from different departments with principal and secondary concentrations comprised of courses that are either required or electives in the chosen area.
Interesting Classes I Might Take
Bible (hours above the required minor), church ministries, accounting, business administration, information systems management, biology, education, music, communication arts, English, history, exercise and sport science, mathematics, psychology, and missions.

Clinical depression can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender, age, creed or income. Every year more than 19 million Americans suffer from some type of depressive illness. According to a Surgeon General's report, African Americans are over-represented in populations that are particularly at risk for mental illness. Consider the following:
• African Americans are 30 percent more likely to report having serious psychological distress than Non-Hispanic Whites.
• Non-Hispanic Whites are more than twice as likely to receive antidepressant prescription treatments as are Non-Hispanic Blacks.
Depression robs people of the enjoyment found in daily life and can even lead to suicide. The truth is that depression is not a normal part of life for any African American, regardless of age or life situation. Unfortunately, depression has often been misdiagnosed in the African American community. However, help is available.
What is clinical depression?
Depression ranges in seriousness from mild, temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Doctors use the term "clinical depression" to describe the more severe, persistent form of depression also known as "major depression" or "major depressive disorder."

Seems the concerns about Warehouse 13 ending were valid. SyFy has announced that Warehouse 13 will return next season for 6 episodes.

Though maybe we'll get lucky and they'll get freed by Indiana Jones in his next film.

Klamath County may soon have to cut all funding to the Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center.
County funds make up less than a quarter of the center's budget but that's a key piece to getting matching funds.
"The county partnership brings in about $333,000 on a $1.5, almost $1.6 million budget. Without local support, then the other $1.3 million dollars is in jeopardy" says Willie Riggs of the OSU Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center.
The office on Vandenberg Road could be closed, and moved to the research center to save costs.
Putting a request before voters to form a taxing district to fund operations hasn't been ruled out.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The prospect of the name "Beckham" appearing on the back of a Manchester United shirt has grown closer.
Sections of the British media reported Friday that Brooklyn Beckham, the son of United great David, was invited to a training session at the club on Thursday. The 14-year-old Brooklyn was accompanied by his father and could return for further sessions.
United said the club couldn't comment for child protection reasons.
Brooklyn has already had spells with two other Premier League teams, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers, and played for a Los Angeles Galaxy youth team during his father's time in the MLS.
David Beckham left United in 2003 after winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League.
