Fredrik Eklund Puts Connecticut Mansion For Summer Rent For 150K

Organization is important in any room in the house, but it seems essential in a well run kitchen. If the aim is easy care and relaxed living, then a little forethought given to creating "a place for everything", and then "putting everything in its place" is in order. And who says it has to white, dry, and prim? Add some coastal flair wherever you can and the decorating marries to the purpose for an outstanding place to cook and entertain.

'I feel torn because one side of me wants to spoil them, I just give them everything that they want but also another part of me is really jealous because I certainly didn't have a childhood like that, but it's just lovely to see them enjoying it so much.'

Cabinet Pulls
Probably the easiest way to add a motif to the kitchen, there are innumerable designs available. I saw so many that it would easily be a very hard choice to make, but reduce the confusion by settleing on a type of metal, the accent or harmony colors that you believe would look best. Be sure to determine which shape fits your hand most comfortably and look for you design in that style.

Pocket change for Fredrik! 'We'll be renting out our country home in Connecticut this summer,' the Swedish real estate expert wrote on Instagram. 'Available Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend.' Seen in 2016

Get a 1-year Family Handyman subscription for $5
The quarantine life means you may have time to finally tackle those home projects, like installing slide-out shelves in your kitchen cabinets or, I don't know, building a gazebo. Over the years I've found Family Handyman to be an invaluable resource for stuff like that, and right now you can get a 1-year subscription for just $5. That's for either the print or Kindle edition. (My advice: go print, because then you can dog-ear useful pages or even rip them out to tack up in the garage, workshop, etc.

Do enjoy you visits to the coast? Is seafood one of your favorite foods? Bring the coast to your own home kitchen with some of the beautiful beach themed dinnerware and accessories to create some of the resort ambiance that makes a vacation so much fun. Clean colors and witty artwork, driftwood tones, and blue ocean views infuse Beach House décor.

New home: The couple reportedly managed to knock $4 million (£3.1 million) off the original asking price after billionaire Diana Chen listed it for $30 million (£23.4 million), the businesswoman still managed to make a $3 million (£2.3 million) profit reports Variety 

I spent 15 minutes trying out the newest version of the Samsung Family Hub smart fridge at Samsung's CES booth this year. It was just me, the fridge, and version 5.0 of the software that runs the 21-inch touchscreen embedded in its door.

Stocking your kitchen the smart way
I like Samsung's strategy because it starts at one of the places where food comes into your home. You can back the cycle out further back to dietary needs, or general food preferences, and new Family Hub software will allow you to tailor its recipe recommendations based on those factors, but for me, my best intentions when I go grocery shopping, even with a list built around a weekly menu, are often corrupted by whatever might look good on the shelf at that moment. 

Back in the kitchen, the June Intelligent Oven relies on object recognition to automatically start cooking your steak when you put it in the oven. GE also demonstrated its own food recognition capability at CES this year with its updated Kitchen Hub over-the-range microwave. 

Cocktails any one? The home is very roomy with a large, inviting living room that has arched windows and moldings as well as wall panels that add a historical feel. In the center is a wide fireplace with a white mantle

He likes the 90210: 'It's been quite a transition,' the agent told People in March of his move to Beverly Hills. 'Overall it's been incredible. People ask me why I moved to Beverly Hills from New York after 17 years, I always say the main reason is the kids'

Take a cue from the beach itself: soft neutral colors don't have to be boring as long as different textures abound. Combine pastels or go bright, but keep it interesting with texture of seagrass or maybe a painted surface or two on the cabinets.

Remember the mantra of the Beach house ease: relax, relax, relax. Let your plans take the work and worry out of making meals or cleanup; bring in as many well organized storage pieces and cooking appliances as you need in a well planned space.

Home theatre: Sofia and Joe have plenty of rooms to keep themselves entertained as one part of the mansion has its own home cinema with 12 leather seats, its own screen curtain, Tuscan-inspired wall painting and a sky painted proscenium

I don't anticipate either GE's or Samsung's solution will sway skeptics of the smart kitchen or the smart home in general this year, although credit to both companies for bringing new functionality to existing products. In Samsung's case, even the first generation Family Hub refrigerator, now five years old, will get the object recognition software update. The more important point is that both companies are going beyond the basic transactional smart home functions and doing something innovative, and even potentially useful with data they generate by bringing household devices online.
