It's one of those features that you probably wouldn't even think to want if you hadn't heard of it before, but makes so much sense when you do. Having a second sink, whether a small prep sink or a second full sized one, can solve a whole host of common kitchen annoyances >>>...
Major bathroom remodels are never cheap, and redoing a big bathroom is even more expensive. But if you find yourself on a tight budget, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice quality, or even the scope of your project, to get the job done. For anything you might want to buy, chances are there's a whole range of similar items in different price ranges >>>...
At a first glance, modern bathroom vanities might look rather simple - even more than a little bit similar. But despite sharing a similar aesthetic, modern bathroom vanities actually offer a surprisingly diverse array of features. From innovative and customizable designs to small details that stand out against a stark, minimalist aesthetic, modern bathroom vanities are more diverse than you might think >>>...
Traditionally double bathroom vanities are only an option for larger bathrooms. At a minimum, most models clock in at a hefty 60" wide, which is about - you guessed it - twice as wide as your average single vanity, and they can easily span twice that width. But while big double bathroom vanities are great for fleshing out a large bathroom, not all bathrooms have room for such a hefty piece of furniture >>>...
Though almost all living rooms have one, coffee tables aren't often used as a visual focal point. On the one hand, this is a very strange thing, since coffee tables occupy primo real estate: they're placed literally right in the center of the room. At the same time, though, coffee tables fall firmly in the realm of practical furnishings - they're used for setting down drinks and food, displaying magazines, or as a resting place for remotes or sometimes feet >>>...

The only thing better than Old World style kitchen design is an Old World kitchen that comes with my Babka grandmother in it making pierogi. Or sauerkraut. Both are good >>>...
White is the ultimate traditional bathroom color - bathtubs, toilets, tile, and, yes, sinks too. But traditional doesn't have to mean boring, and a nice, clean color like white is the perfect palette to play with shape and style. So if you're looking to keep with tradition when it comes to color, but want to get a little more creative than your average white bowl sink, stylish new vitreous china vessel sinks are the perfect way to get the best of both worlds >>>...
When building a home bar, one of the biggest decisions you'll have to make is actually a fairly deceptive one - to install a bar sink or not. Depending on the location of your bar, and that location's access to plumbing, this can be a relatively simple job. But if not, is it really worth spending the extra money for a water supply and drain, or even worth altering the location of your planned project to get one? Bar sinks add important utility to a home bar - and can be pretty snazzy to look at, too - but what difference does having one really make?
