And homeowners, through careful kitchen planning when remodeling or building, are enjoying new levels of convenience. More and more homeowners are finding that the "kitchens of their dreams" aren't as costly as they may have assumed. Kit- chens "customized" to homeowners' in- dividual lifestyles and decorating preferences do not necessarily have to be "custom kitchens." Today there is a wide range of cabinet styles, units and accessory options readily available from kitchen/bath and home center retailers. There are key points to keep in mind when planning for a new or remodeled kitchen. • Function. Do you like to plan meals, review recipes, pay your bills and order -by - phone in the kitchen? Space saving open - shelf units and roll-top desks can make your kitchen more than just an area for food and utensil storage, meal preparation and dining. • Floor Plan. Take some grid paper and, working on a scale of' -2" equals 1', mark out the dimensions of your kitchen, noting win- dow and door locations, and make cutouts of cupboard/counter tops, appliances and seating. Analyze your work centers: refrigeration, preparation, clean-up and, space permitting, meal serving and plann- ing areas. Move your cutouts around until you have a plan that gives you enough open space in which to move around and an effi- cient "work triangle" between the refrigerator, sink and stove. • Storage. Today's cabinets and accessories maximize space usage without cluttering your kitchen. Make your life easier and your kitchen more "customized" with such readi- ly available inner -cabinet storage features as lazy susans, cutlery/cutting board drawers and utensil dividers. Spice racks and corner tambour-doored "garages" for small appliances, among other decorative accessories, make your kitchen work for you. • Style. Affordable "stock" cabinets come in an eclectic range of today's most popular decorating styles: country, comtemporary, traditional and European. And, cabinets and co-ordinating components (shelves, roll-top desks) are not limited to kitchen in- stallations; the style and finish you choose can be repeated in the bath and other rooms in your home where cabinet storage and modular shelving systems are appropriate. Salty trick To control slugs in the garden, try the "beer -in -a -pie -plate -rimmed -with -salt" trick, says Horticulturist Ruth Friendship - Keller of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's rural organizations and services branch. The beer will attract the slugs and as they crawl over the rim of the pie plate, the salt will dehydrate them.
