kitchen, one of the most important areas to
consider is your counter space.
Just think about all the kitchen activities
that require counter space: assembling
your family's favorite casserole, cooling
-fresh-baked- chocolate -chip cookies,_storing_
flour, sugar, coffee and your collection o
best -loved recipes so you can get to them
easily. Counters are among the busiest
parts of your house.
Before you plan your remodeling, think
about what your needs are.
First, think about your special space re-

'Do you do a lot of baking or food prepara-
tion that needs one large work area? If so,

•Do you use small appliances like coffee
makers, toasters, blenders and food pro-
cessors often? Plan extra space, especially
back toward thie wall, for these appliances,
so that you don't have to take them out of the
cabinet every time you want to use them.
*You may also want to allot extra counter -.
space for a dish drain, a cutting board,
cookbooks - anything you want to be easily
accessible.
Probably, most of your kitchen activities
will take place an the "work triangle,"with
the sink, refrigerator and range marking
the points. Plenty of counter space inside
this triangle will make each step of your
food preparation simpler.
For instance, a counter next to the
refrigerator allows you to load and unload
foods easily. Space on both sides of the sink
leaves you plenty of -room to wash and drain.
dishes; and a counter, with a cooling rack,
next to the stove is a convenient place to cool
hot dishes.
One popular way to create more counter
space, without doing a major remodeling
job, is to install an "island." -..._-
This extra storage centre can provide a
large, open work space - perfect if you enjoy
preparing dishes with lots of ingredients or
-bakin.doub1ebatcheS-Of cookies. .
Equip your island with an extra sink, a
range and/or electrical outlets and it
becomes a "mini -kitchen" just right for all
your needs.
One _small, warning: you can have too
much counter space as. well as too little. If
you. plan too many large counter areas in
your kitchen, you may find yourself running
five miles a. . day - just between the
refrigerator and the sink .
There are many kinds of countertop sur- .
faces available, - ranging from natural
materials like wood and marble to man-
made products like laminated plastics. •
The type and color of material you choose
will depend on .your needs and personal'
preferences, as well.as the amount you want
to spend.
Kitchen Counters take a lot of abuse, from
spilled foods and splashed juices, to ac-
Mental burns and knife clfts - even the foot-
prints of the child who just can't keep from
climbing up to reach the cookie jar.
Your kitchen countertop possibilities are
nearly endless. Use your imagination when
it comes to selecting your colors and styles,
and consult an interior designer or remodel-
ing expert before you begin to help you
make your.dream kitchen a reality.
