A houzz contributor, not too long ago, had made a wine rack out of 4'x4' wooden pallets, that are used in the US to move a load of goods with a fork-lift truck. Perhaps they have them in your country. He cut them in half so they were only two feet deep and stacked them up to high counter height. The wood would be a nice contrast with your concrete, might add a little warmth to the space. cascio.offsite@gmail.com

Millions of people over the world go on holiday every year, all with different requirements for their perfect holiday. From city breaks to beach holidays tourists travel to various destinations around the world to have a new experience, whether it is to gain knowledge of a culture, explore historic sites to sitting on beach soaking up the warm sun! January is a busy month for travel agencies and tour operators as it is the most popular month to a book a holiday in the UK. To help you make better holiday plans for 2015 here are a few tips to follow to get that ideal holiday: Choosing the Right Holiday Type When you decide to go on a holiday, deciding on the type of holiday is the first step to get the ball rolling on your holiday plan. Some people know exactly what they want from a holiday e.g. scuba diving, dive Philippines, skiing, visiting the Egyptian pyramids, etc., whereas others need a helping hand in the decision making. Some go for a relaxing beach holiday compared to people who want an adventure holiday compared to people who want a city break. There are a great number of tour operators specialised in beach, cultural and adventurous holidays including scuba diving who will be happy to provide you with a lowdown of holiday types to help you make the decision that is right for you. Holiday Budget Once you have decided on the type of holiday get a budget in mind and stick to it. Have a maximum spend budget so you are able to look at a variety of options in your price range, this will make it easier to make a choice. Be sure to let your travel agent know what your budget is as this will save you from getting a number of quotes and itineraries that do not fit your budget. Also ensure that budget does not compromise your holiday experience and financial protection. When deciding on a budget ensure you consider booking the holiday with an ATOL protected company so that your holiday and money is 100% protected. Choosing a Holiday Destination Once you have the type of holiday and budget in mind the next step is to find a destination. Like I said earlier some people know exactly where they want to go, however some people need to do a bit more research to get inspired. Researching destinations online is a great way to find out a lot of information about a place, alternatively popping into a travel agent and speak to an advisor. Most travel agents have years of experience organising holidays around the world and some have had the pleasure of visiting these destinations which means they can offer you first hand advise.

@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point.
