Cooktop Covers!

Just had to share this with all of you.  One of my former colleagues has a company (with two other ladies) called Center Stage Kitchens.  They custom make covers that go over your stove.  It is so great because it makes your counter usable for "staging" buffets, pretty decorative pieces or simply hiding those ugly burners.  I use my counters for buffet lines and having a cover over the stove would give me twice the amount of space.  The other way to use the cover is to put it on your island as a platform for building your buffet display.   Take a look at their  website to get more ideas on how you can use it... www.centerstagekitchens.com.  They have a portfolio of their work and some testimonials.  If you are interested, tell them you heard about it from Southern by Design.
