A costume designer for film, TV and theatre productions ensured her kitchen would be bright and cheery during long winters by decorating the room in bright yellow.Eimer N Mhaoldomhnaigh, who has worked on films like The Wind that Shakes the Barley and In America, showed the Irish Times around her kitchen which also features a white floor and large windows to capture natural light.Referring to the floor, she said Its not as hard to keep clean as you would think - the floor we had before was black and we just wanted everything to be bright.Meanwhile, the designer said that because she and her husband have two young children, they opted for kitchen equipment that could be kicked around a bit and which they wouldnt mind getting damaged.This week, a report by the Windsor Star suggested that stainless steel kitchen sinks and appliances can increase the value of the room while also transforming its overall style.
