When you've got more than one in the kitchen, do you need a traffic cop? Tired of bumping elbows and knocking knees or even worse? Is the distance between work centers so great that each one is in a different area code? A poor kitchen layout is no laughing matter, unless you wear roller skates when you cook. If any of this sounds familiar, a kitchen remodel might be the answer. The key to kitchen design lies in what is known as the kitchen work triangle. While it conjures up images of the famed Bermuda Triangle they do have one thing in common. Things disappear -- and in your kitchen that can mean problems. The triangle we're talking about is the path of activity that connects your sink, stove and fridge. All three sides should not total less than 21-feet or more than 27 feet, and no one side should be less than 7 feet or more than 9 feet. To reduce confusion and disasters, no other home traffic should cross the kitchen work triangle. Plan it right and you'll have the dream kitchen you've always wanted. If you don't, it can be a real cooking nightmare. And that's the On The House tip for today.
