As a kitchen designer, I think yours is a fascinating concept linking the subliminal message of an open kitchen to a desire to eat, just fascinating! The trend in kitchen design is definitely toward more open kitchens, as more "life acstoiiiet&quvt; are happening in our kitchens. It's becoming more of a social space than ever before as well.I don't know of any studies done surrounding this issue, but it's a great question! Beautiful collection of images!

Thanks, JC1&.I#82t7;s very cool that you take time to answer our questions.SHU should have had the PR sense to have a rep on hand to answer questions and promote their agenda.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and supglisinrry small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It really is very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
