A well equipped kitchen needs to be funtional, but, we spend so much time in it, why not make it stylish, too! Your kitchen is the heart of your home, a place where not only meals are prepared, but, where friends and family gather to talk and eat. It should be a place where you can sit down comfortably to have coffee and conversation. So many of us have warm memories of time spent in the kitchen as a child helping to bake cookies or learn a cherished family recipe or tradition. At Village Kitchenware, we're here to help you create those memories.
Countertops in a kitchen are so important, they are not only a spot to work from, but a place to put our most useful staples and equipment. You can jazz up your countertops, and safely store the staples you need for cooking at the same time, with elegant kitchen canisters. Keep flour, sugar, rice, coffee, salt, tea or any number of things fresh and at hand while adding a decorator touch with one of our canister sets. Two of the most beautiful, yet affordable, sets we've found are the Hammered Copper Canister Set and the Versailles Canister Set. One has a handsome copper finish that is coated to prevent tarnishing, the other has a warm bronze finish with fleur de lis finial lids. They both have 4 Qt., 2 Qt., 1.5 Qt. and 1 Qt. canisters.
Create more storage space in your kitchen cabinets and show off your good cookware with a hanging pot rack. With so many styles and sizes to choose from, it's easy to find the right one for your kitchen. Better yet, they don't have to be boring, some pot racks practically qualify as a work of art. A favorite of mine is the Bourbon Street Hanging Domed Pot Rack. It has an elegant scrolled design that is so reminiscent of the wrought iron balconies in the French Quarter of New Orleans. A little different and lots of fun, the Rooster Pot Rack is a handsome addition to any country kitchen with it's jaunty copper colored rooster perched on top.
Even coffeemakers are getting a make-over these days. You don't have to settle for a plain old black or white model anymore. Kalorik has come up with some coffeemakers that are dynamite accents for your kitchen -- and they make great coffee, too! The Aztec 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker has a gorgeous copper finish while the Maya Programmable 12-Cup Coffeemaker has an elegant bronze exterior. They both have easy to program blue back-lit displays, transparent water tanks, 2-hour shut off, pause & serve functions, no-drip carafes, and, non-stick hot plates. Form meets function in a very stylish way.
