Is Early American furniture out of style in a kitchen?
I have a Tell City hard rock maple kitchen table and chairs and a hutch of the same maple wood in the breakfast area of my kitchen. Is this completely out of style?
Yeah, Gracie M!
Technically, almost everything we usually have in our homes is "out of style".
The trick is to blend it with other styles.themes/objects to give it a more "present" look.
If you have antique plates, etc, add some of more recent vintage, such as Fiesta, in matching or complementary colors.
Replace an old table runner or doily with a colored straw mat or woven placemat or stone trivet.
Use a modern vase with old-fashioned peonies or violets. Use old tablecloths as fabric in a modern valence pattern for windows [ or new print in an old pattern ].
I'm pretty sure your appliances, counters, and floors are a lot more modern than your table set, so you're already started.
Just try to keep colors, woods, and fabrics/textures that are not "matchy-matchy", but work together.
Swingline Ingento 30" Square Maple Table Trimmer Review
The Ingento 30" is one of the most popular table guillotine paper trimmers in the world. Here are a few of this machine's strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths and Features:
- There are some names that carry a lot of weight in their respective industries and that is definitely the case here, as the Ingento name alone might just be enough to recommend this machine. The Ingento line is far and away one of the most popular choices among organizations such as schools, churches, studios, and binderies and print shops all over the world.
- Of course, there is very good reason that these guillotine cutters have the reputation that they do, and that all starts with their rock solid construction. The Ingento 30" is made out of solid maple and the cutting arm is constructed of heavy duty die cast metal. Overall, this is the kind of cutter that you purchase fully expecting it to last forever, and you may well be right.
- The Ingento 30" is a versatile machine as well. It can be used as a table, with a shelf for storage and a drop leaf trim catcher, or you can take the trimmer off the legs and use it as a tabletop device. The process takes mere seconds, and can be a great boon to your productivity, enabling you to use the cutter wherever you need to, whenever you need to.
- The 30 inch cutting length of the Ingento 30" is plenty for just about any project, meaning that not only can you cut and trim legal and letter sized sheets with ease, you can work with bigger projects such as art prints and calendars with room to spare. This is one of the things that makes this a great machine for schools and studios and other environments where there is likely to be a large variety of projects in any given week.
- When you are looking at paper cutters and trimmers, you will always want to give some consideration to safety features. The Ingento 30" has three that bear mentioning: The cutting arm is held in place by a system of steel tension springs, so it will never fall accidentally; there is also a latch that holds the handle in a locked down position when the machine is not in use, and there is a guard rail designed to keep your fingers well out of the way of the blade as you are holding your papers during cutting.
- The maple base table has a handy grid system to help you with aligning your pages, and a ruler that measures both US and metric systems. These are nice touches that can help your cuts be more precise and accurate.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
- The 15-sheet cutting capacity of this machine should be more than enough for medium duty use. If you are looking for a cutter to process thousands of sheets per week, however, you may want to find a machine that can cut more sheets per lift.
- On a machine of this size, it might be nice to see a paper clamp or something to help with the proper alignment of the sheets. This is not a deal breaker, but it could make some jobs a little easier.
