Here's a nice treat to all architects, interior designers, industrial designers, engineers and other professional and technical persons who uses AutoCAD frequently in their line of work.  It's a free AutoCAD application you can use for free!

Yep, you heard it right, it's really free.  Those professionals who have purchased AutoCAD know that the offline product is very expensive and not all people you coordinate your drawings with have access to this costly software.  So Autodesk, the company who is responsible for spreading the use of AutoCAD in the construction world, has made a solution.  They created an online AutoCAD application which anyone can easily access using a computer and an internet connection.

Here's an innovative idea for a kitchen.  This system conceptualized by Theodore Thonga has sliding panels that hides or reveals the kitchen counter as you please.



As I know a lot of homeowners, especially old-fashioned mothers that doesn't want the kitchen to be seen from the public areas of the house because they say it's usually a mess, this system may impress them.  Although, as they are already old-fashioned, it may not impress them at all.  But who knows, when they see how this system can instantly hide the mess on their kitchen counter and create a cleaner look, maybe they'd love it and might even create an opening on the kitchen wall to the living areas.
