Lighting those flames

Want to show your colors in the kitchen this summer? FlameKA.com sells 31 vinyl decal kits to fit KitchenAid Classic, Artisan, Professional and Pro 600 mixers. Decals are rated to last five years in outdoor conditions (obviously longer indoors); the maker recommends covering them with lacquer for even greater durability.

The designs are mostly ‘50s-style flame patterns in flame orange, silver or blue, but there are also tattoo-like tribal styles and a pattern of cowhide spots for mixer owners with quieter tastes. The more expensive kits include decals for the mixer stand as well as for the motor housing.

Flame decals, $15.99 to $34.95 plus shipping. flameka.com/buy.aspx provides links to sale sites on Amazon and EBay.
