Picking out new furniture for your living room is difficult. Picking out new furniture when you don’t have a lot of space to work with is even more so. For smaller living rooms, you want a nice-looking couch that doesn’t crowd the space or your other furniture. If that rules out most full-size couches, you might […]
Setting up a nursery is an exciting part of preparing for a new baby. But being restricted to a powder pink or blue palette can make it something of a frustrating endeavor. Whether you don’t know (or don’t want to know) the gender of your baby in advance, you want to create a gender-neutral space […]
Upgrading to a big, luxurious soaking tub is often the highlight of a large-scale bathroom remodel – and one of the updated features you’re probably most looking forward to. But when you opt for drop-in style bathtubs, even the roomiest, most decadent tubs won’t look much different than a standard model. For bathtubs with looks […]
You’d be hard pressed to find a bathroom that doesn’t have a mirror in it, but having a bathroom mirror that’s attractive, big enough to help you assess your outfit, and functional to boot? That’s a little harder. Even if you have a pretty good medicine cabinet, chances are you can do better. So if […]
Kitchen faucets are the workhorse of the kitchen, and probably the fixture that sees the most use day in and day out. But a good kitchen faucet should be more than merely functional – it should be easy and intuitive to use, match your cooking and cleaning style, and elevate the appearance of your kitchen. […]

Almost everyone wishes they had a bigger bathroom – or, even better, a really big bathroom, like the kind you see on home improvement shows and in design catalogs. But while all that space is great for your walk-in shower and soaking tub, it’s probably more than you need for actual storage. Even if you keep […]
Incorporating wood elements into a bathroom is always something of a risky proposition. While wood bathroom vanities are pretty common, they’re also much more heavily finished than just about any other kind of wood feature, made to weather the worst humidity and moisture a bathroom can throw at them. But there’s also no better way […]
The definition of a “home office” has gotten pretty flexible in the last few years. Especially with the shift towards wireless devices and telecommuting, even people without traditional work-from-home jobs are finding themselves in need of a workspace for those days they don’t make it to the office. The good news is, home office desks […]
The line between indoor and outdoor spaces has been blurring for a while now, first with the advent of outdoor kitchens and now with the rising popularity of multi-season indoor/outdoor rooms, covered or partially enclosed patios, and folding glass walls that effectively let you join your living room and patio. But that doesn’t just mean […]
