Right To The Point
Aug 4th, 2008 by Lauri
The couple I worked with today called me in to help with their living room, dining room and entrance foyer. When I finished they asked if I had time to stay and help them with one more room. 
They wanted to go over the plans for their kitchen renovation. Good call! As soon as they pulled out the specs I noticed that two of their proposed kitchen counters were going to extend into the traffic pattern and that both had sharp pointy corners! Both big no-nos!
If you are redoing your kitchen, be sure that your new design calls for unobstructed pathways and that any counter that extends beyond a base cabinet has a soft corner, instead of a sharp point. 
Safety is key in this room, whether the space is sleek modern, carved traditional or cozy country and both of these adjustments will prevent you and your family from getting cuts, bumps and bruises. They will also save you from making two expensive mistakes.
