About.com - January Recap

So, I have good news and bad news. The good news -About.com isn't sick of me yet as my contract was just renewed - yay! The bad news - I only wrote 4 new articles in January - womp, womp. HOWEVER, I will say I really love these 4 topics and the pretty pictures that accompany them!

1. Statement Rugs in the Kitchen

Rugs are a great way to add warmth and interest to your kitchen. The sizes, colors and price points are endless, so regardless of your budget or space a rug can be an easy way to liven up your room.

2. Cows in the Kitchen

Yep, I wrote a whole article about integrating cow decor into your kitchen. Could there be a better topic? In all seriousness you may be surprised at how pretty some of these spaces are. It appears the rest of the world has finally caught on to just how classy a cow can be. :)

3. Colorful Appliances in the Kitchen

Appliances can be a fun and unexpected way to add some color to your space. I especially love this orange smeg refrigerator....I want one!!

4. Leather Accents in the Kitchen

I'm a big fan of leather. Leather shoes, leather jacket, leather chair....and after a little investigating I found there are several ways you can bring leather, and the coolness that comes with it, into the kitchen as well!

And finally, I updated the 5 articles below, 4 of them mine! Some of you have asked why articles have to be updated, so I thought I would explain.... There are a few reasons an article might need to be updated, but more times than not about.com just wants to ensure the information in these articles is as up to date as possible. Because things change so quickly they want to make sure information that was written 6 months ago still applies today. In any case it gives you guys a chance to check out an article you may of missed in the past.
