Putting in a brand new kitchen is always a big deal!!! If you have or are planning to take on a kitchen remodel in your home, you know the pressure! Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and exciting and makes such a huge impact on your home and your home’s value, but everyone wants to get it “right”— and that can feel overwhelming! The fun of a new kitchen space can quickly be sucked up by the fear of doing it wrong or regretting your choices. Long before we were done installing, I had so many requests for details on our Semihandmade with IKEA Cabinets. I thought I would share our entire process from beginning to end and hopefully help you feel confident moving forward with your own project!
Let’s quickly go over the basics. The default position value of any HTML element is static. Any element with the default value of static is a non-positioned element.
Here is the key part - a child’s z-index has no effect outside its group. div3’s z-index determines its position in the stacking order only among its siblings and has no effect outside its group. This is the reason setting even a large value like 99999 to div3 won't place it in front of div1.

To perform the Brettzel stretch, start on the ground. Lay on one side, extending your bottom arm and leg straight out. Bend your top leg at the knee over the other at a 90-degree angle and rest it on the ground as you reach behind yourself with your top arm. Grip your bent knee with the bottom hand, pulling slightly to drive your knee into the ground. Bend your bottom leg and grab your foot with your top hand, pulling your heel toward your butt. Finally, release any tension in your neck and allow your head to relax.
However, when he inserted the words — “You will probably refuse” — before continuing on to ask for a donation, the compliance rate jumped to 39 percent.
That’s why the words, “You will probably refuse,” are so effective: they give people an out. The words make people feel like they are acting out of their own free will and that they’re the ones who are in control of their decision.
Make your elements appear more defined
Use Multiple Drop Shadows, or a very subtle border (just a shade darker than your actual shadow) around certain elements to make those elements appear a little sharper, more defined, and help avoid those muddy shadows.
Creating long-form content? Give 20pt, and up a try
#18pt is sooo last decade.#
Your shadows are coming from one light source right?
Improve Contrast between Text and Images with a subtle, but simple Overlay
Depending on where the text may be positioned over your image, you can either opt for a tried, and tested full image overlay, or a more subtle (bottom to top, or top to bottom) gradient overlay to achieve a simple contrast between the two elements.
Lighten up your text if it looks a little on the heavy side
The smaller the font size, the more generous the line height
As your font size decreases, increase the line height for better, all-round legibility.
Choose a Base Colour, and then use Tints & Shades to add uniformity
Always make your ‘Call to Action’ the most prominent item on the screen
Add an extra visual aid to your Form Errors
Adding an Error Message close to the action that the user has just taken can be a simple, but helpful, extra visual aid for when they’re filling out Forms of any kind.
Give Prominence to the most frequently used action in a Menu
When I started working on Web stuff around 2005, there were two extremely popular font styles for body copy:
Text that is too small takes more time to read. Users may have to lean towards the screen, hold mobile devices closer, squint, or just concentrate more. As designers and developers, we strive to not ask for such extra effort from people who use or read our work.
Hanna Laakso documents the problems for GOV.UK. This is what they landed on:
<input type="text" inputmode="numeric" pattern="[0-9]*">
The inputmode attribute is pretty great, and we have a deep dive on that.
Phil Nash came to (almost) same exact conclusion, and blogged about improving the experience of a two-factor auth code input on the Twilio blog:
<input
type="text"
name="token"
id="token"
inputmode="numeric"
pattern="[0-9]*"
autocomplete="one-time-code"
/>
That last attribute is interesting and new to me. It means you get this super extra useful experience on browsers that support it:
In much the same way that David Allen’s Getting Things Done method of productivity can be boiled down to five simple actions — Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect and Engage- the zettelkasten method can be summed up in a handful of activities. I’d call these Collect, Process, Cross-Reference and Use.
For the first, grab the handles, jump your feet back, perform a push-up, and jump your feet back up next to the bells, feet wider than shoulder-width, torso almost parallel to the ground. Now row the bells to your ribcage, lower them back down to the floor, and hit the third move by cleaning the kettlebells to a rack position in front of your shoulders. To finish things off, perform a thruster, a squat to an overhead press. Lower the bells back down between your feet—and do it all again.
What you'll need: One 12-kilogram kettlebell or a 20- to 25-pound dumbbell
Hollow-Body Chest Press
Half-Kneeling Press-to-Stand
Single-Leg Deadlift Row
Clean to Goblet Squat
Lateral Lunge to Balance
Single-Arm Kettlebell Push-Up
How to use this list: Clayton suggests doing each exercise in the lower abs workout below for 30 to 45 seconds before every run. “This will fire up your muscles so they’re active when you need them most,” Clayton says. Clayton even demonstrates them herself, so you can nail the perfect form. You will need a mat and a set of sliders. Two hand towels or paper plates will work. too.

Atkins suggests doing 8 to 10 full circles every morning (or before your workout) with each arm to improve your shoulder mobility.
But if you find yourself unable to work through the full range of motion, you're not out of luck. "If you find this exercise challenging, try decreasing the beginning angle (when the arm is overhead, bicep near the ear) by taking the arm a little bit further away from the head," Atkins suggests. "You can also do this exercise standing next to a wall (ball side to the wall), and as your mobility improves, eventually relocate to the ground."

To add some practical testing and actionable advice to this theoretical musing, I offer this morning mobility check-in. In this video, I describe and demonstrate three quick movement sequences that you can do in a few short minutes any time of day and/or fresh out of bed
If a good stretch or warming up aren't part of your workout routine, you're missing out on some serious benefits for your mobility. Dr. Aaron Horschig, DPT, of Squat University, shares the one stretch that he believes you should be doing to maximize both your upper and lower body mobility.
Jump Squat To Halo
Step 1. Place a kettlebell on the floor and stand behind it with feet shoulder-width apart. Twist your feet into the ground so that they’re turned a few degrees outward, and you feel your glutes tighten up. Maintaining a tall, long spine from your head to your pelvis, squat down, driving your knees outward as you descend (they should stay in line with your first two toes) until you can grasp the kettlebell handle.
Step 2. Holding the kettlebell handle overhand with both hands, draw your shoulders back and downward (think “proud chest”). Now jump up as high as you can. Land with soft knees, and then stand up, cleaning the dumbbell as you rise (flip it over in your hands so that the bottom is up).
Step 3. Raise the weight over and behind your right shoulder. Keep your elbows as close together as you can—your left forearm should brush over the top of your head as you raise the kettlebell. Continue moving the weight around the back of your head until it’s in front of you again (a halo). Keep your core braced to prevent any bending or twisting while you do the halo. Lower the weight to the floor, and re-set for the next jump squat. After you jump, perform the halo in the opposite direction.
