This grinning toilet outfit from Target, for example, requires a lot of confidence. And that extra roll of TP >>>...
When you're doing a kitchen remodel, always budget cash and space for your major appliances. You'll need a fair amount of both, but then without appliances like a kitchen range, oven hood, dishwasher, and microwave, it wouldn't be much of a kitchen. You're also gonna hurt yourself cooking in the dark and squinting at recipes, so plan for the perfect lighting >>>...
The days of the formal dining room are, for better or for worse, in the rear-view mirror. These days, if you do a lot of entertaining, chances are it's in your kitchen, not in a separate room. The kitchen is becoming a larger and more open space, not one where one person cooks in isolation but an area where families and friends can talk, eat, and drink together >>>...

A friend recently bought her first house and I helped her move in this past week. She called me yesterday to tell me that this new old house of hers is the loudest thing she's ever encountered. The hardwood floors creak, the doors squeak, the pipes bang and even when you're lying immobile in your bed mysterious noises permeate the emptiness >>>...
I talked in a recent blog post about light emitting wallpaper as one of the future lighting options for homes. Another lighting alternative I recently heard of is the tubular skylight.
