Looking for Your Next Home Project? The Hottest Quarantine Kitchen Remodels

Cooking in a beautiful, open kitchen is the dream of homeowners everywhere. Luckily, in 2020, many quarantined kitchen lovers have turned that dream into a reality. There have been a ton of kitchen projects trending on Twitter and Instagram, and if you want that natural and open aesthetic for yourself, try implementing the renovations below. A popular project has been to install more open shelving, and it’s not just because people want organizational space! By using open shelves instead of cabinets, you can make your kitchen feel larger while showing off those beautiful plates and cups! Whether you install a sleek slab of reclaimed wood or an industrial wood and pipe shelf, there are a lot of natural pieces you can use to make your kitchen look like it stepped out of a modernized village home. Pantry remodeling is another popular trend that’s improving the kitchen and adding space. Why does the door to the pantry have to be solid wood? If you want something more lightweight, try using a porch door. The

see-through features can make the space more inviting, especially when painted a beautiful, bright color like emerald green or baby blue. Then, upgrade your pantry’s organization with wooden boxes, tall glass jars, and natural-colored containers. Thinking of a bigger project? We’ve got your back. One way to make the soft light in your kitchen stand out is to install dark flooring. Not only can it contrast lighter furnishings and cabinets, but it’ll also flatter your lighting even more! To keep up with the bright, easy- going appearances, try using light reclaimed wood for cabinets. It’s visually textured and healthy for the environment! Furthermore, Carrara marble countertops can add sleekness to your kitchen without drawing attention away from the other beautiful accent pieces in your kitchen. Still looking for more inspiration?

There’s nothing quite as memorable and educational as going to an international museum. For that day, people get to traverse a world and a history entirely different from their own. While we can’t travel to many of these fascinating exhibits in person, we can step into these museums with free virtual tours. Give your family a break from YouTube and take a 15-minute adventure to a faraway land. British Museum, London First opened in 1759, the British Museum is the world’s first national museum. They have set the standard for museums worldwide today — and, quite honestly, they still do despite the pandemic. It isn’t a conventional museum experience, but prepare to have your mind blown as you step into a cosmic, musical history experience that will fill you with awe and the desire to explore.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam For a beautiful virtual tour that resembles an in-person experience, look no further than the Rijksmuseum’s Close-Up Masterpieces series. You’ll be able

to click through each of the halls and exhibits, click on interesting paintings (painted by Veneer and many other masters!), and hear audio commentary about them as well. The gorgeous architecture of this museum certainly helps make the tour that much more enjoyable. Try it out for yourself at Rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close. Musée d’Orsay, Paris Built upon the grounds that were originally the garden of Henri IV’s famous queen, Marguerite de Valois, it took hundreds of years for the Musée d’Orsay to turn into the breathtaking museum it is today. It is one of the most comprehensive online exhibitions you can find and shows vast collections of art made between 1848 to 1914. With oil paintings, modern art, and impressionism, you’ll learn so much by clicking through the artwork and museum halls. Search “Musee d’Orsay” on ArtsAndCulture.Google.com.
