... because that's where you'll find what's cool in the kitchen!!

Despite the gloomy picture being painted by our British press, there are glimmers of hope (aside from the sparkle of an Olympic medal), to keep us bizniss people optimistic. For instance, the fact that peeps are spending more time on sprucing up their houses given the gloomy fact that they're not likely to sell them right now.

So this blog will be dedicated to letting you know about all the great value kitchen gadgets, great value fancy fittings, great value makeover products, great value new space saving kitchen storage items and many more (did I mention great value?) kitchen items to make your life easier and - er, prettier. All these marvelous items can be found at http://www.mykitchenstore.co.uk/ which has thousands of trade and consumer products.

I'm going to start with a bit of DIY help (because its not just about the pretty things, we can be practical about kitchen DIY too).

Do you know what a Blum Hinge is? You do? Good. If you don't , it's a trade name for the hinge that you find on the inside of the door of your kitchen cabinets. Many people struggle to find this little DIY gem when they need it. Well you'll find them at mykitchenstore - and for far less than you would spend in B & Q. Now 'Blum' is actually a brand name ( a bit like Hoover, it has become synonymous in the trade with this type of hinge), but actually what you are looking for is a concealed hinge and they are available in many other brands other than Blum. So if you need to change or fix a kitchen door (which is really very simple to do, more on that another time), then this is the type of hinge you want.

Now for a little bit of magic - actually a magic corner. I found out about magic corners myself when I had a sticky problem in one of my kitchen cupboards. You might be familiar with it. The cabinet in question was in the corner with that awkward blind area that you can't see into or reach properly. I put my hand in to grope around for a jar of honey - and put my hand straight in it - the honey that is, which had leaked from the jar on its side and settled in a sticky, furry pool on the base of the cupboard. Sweet - not!! Yuk and double yuk. So in searching for a way to improve access to the cupboard, I came across a magic corner: which looks like this picture. It's a great thing! It very cleverly fits onto the kitchen door and when you close it disappears into the unreachable area of the cupboard. It makes it easier for me to get the stuff I need (I often don't even need to bend down, let alone dislocate my shoulder to get round the corner). It's also easy to fit - it must be, I did it myself!

Anyway, some time along and now with my very own kitchen store, I can highly recommend these fabby items - and what's more, we have 25% off magic corners until the end of September 'o8. MAGIC!!
