Transform Your Kitchen into an Herb Paradise

The kitchen is the one room where I would not hang a big poster. The walls are broken up by cabinets, the air has steam and grease in it, and the open spots are small: the wall by the coffee maker, the space over the toaster, the end of a run of cabinets. That is 8x10 territory. Here is how I would do a kitchen with the prints we sell.

Start with Super Lemon Haze

If a kitchen is getting one print, it is Super Lemon Haze. I painted her on a bright yellow background, and her lineage is said to include Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze, so she was always going to be the kitchen strain. I painted her because she is a zesty little lady, and that is the whole review. The Super Lemon Haze print comes in 8x10 or 18x24, with a black, red oak or white frame, or no frame at all.

Why 8x10 works in a kitchen

An 8x10 fits the odd spaces a kitchen leaves you. It sits on the counter against the backsplash, leans on an open shelf next to the mugs, or hangs on the skinny wall between the fridge and the door. It is printed on thick matte paper, 10.3 mil, so there is no glare from the window or the under-cabinet lights. And if the spot turns out to be wrong, moving an 8x10 is one nail. Every 8x10 we make is in the poster prints collection.

Pick a print by the color in the room

Gorilla Zkittlez is on a red that leans cranberry, and her lineage is said to include Original Gorilla Glue and Zkittlez. She is the one for a kitchen with a red mixer or red canisters on the counter. Purple Haze is purple, Black Afghan is on black, and STRainbow does every color at once. If you cannot pick, the Rainbow Set is six 8x10 prints, one per color: Gorilla Zkittlez, Wedding Glue, Super Lemon Haze, Girl Scout Cookie, Berry Diesel and Purple Haze. Six 8x10s in a row over a run of cabinets is my favorite way to use them.

Frame it, because kitchens are messy

A frame keeps the print flat and gives it an edge, so an 8x10 looks planned instead of taped up. Ours at home are all in black frames, because black goes with everything. Red oak is the pick for a wood kitchen, and white disappears into white cabinets so the painting is all you see. The framed prints arrive ready to hang, which in a kitchen means the print is up before the coffee is done.

Made to order

Prints are made when you order them, which adds a few days but means nothing gets made that nobody wants. Production takes 3 to 7 days, then US delivery is another 3 to 7 business days, so give it about two weeks. Need it for a date?
