How the Kitchen Triangle Came to Be: Two Women And A Triangle - from Kitchen & Bath Design News
While kitchen design as we know it did not yet exist (though it was already taking its first wobbly steps), enterprising women were asking themselves questions: How can I best complete my household duties? How can I get the most out of my day? And, perhaps most importantly, How can I conserve enough time and energy to get the heck out of this kitchen?
This article focuses on two remarkable early 20th-century women thinkers and how the echoes of their studies and innovations can still be heard in today’s kitchens.

Why do natural stone slabs have the same name but look so different?
Why do natural stone slabs have the same name but look so different? These stones are formed under unique conditions of temperature, pressure, and mineral composition, which can vary widely even within a single quarry. As a result, slabs extracted from different parts of the quarry or at different depths can display diverse patterns, colors, and veining. For instance, Taj Mahal Quartzite may range from creamy whites to subtle grey browns, while Giallo Ornamental can present a spectrum of beige, gold, and brown tones. The mineral impurities, the presence of different types of veins, and the orientation of the stone layers contribute to these natural variations.

When and why should you ask about remnants?
Unused sections of a slab are called remnants. These are smaller in size but still retain the same quality and characteristics as the original material. Remnants can vary in size, ranging from a few square feet to larger pieces that can still be used for smaller projects like bathroom vanities, kitchen islands, or fireplace surrounds. When shopping for countertops, asking about remnants can be a beneficial strategy for several reasons:
