I'm a pretty big breakfast person - any breakfast food, almost any time of day. But my favorite? Waffles, hands down. From big crunchy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside Belgian waffles to lean mean Waffle House fare, I could eat 'em all day long >>>...
Stainless steel kitchen sinks have long been considered a bargain option - a less expensive, highly durable, and relatively utilitarian choice, but not, ultimately, a very desirable one. But in recent years a stainless steel finish has started to become more popular in the kitchen - especially in appliances - as well as in modern design as a whole. The result has been a shift in the style of stainless steel kitchen sinks from basic to beautiful, to the point that they've become among the more desirable types of sinks out there >>>...
When it comes to choosing a kitchen sink, there are a lot of options out there - from traditional porcelain and fireclay to modern composite stone. But personally I've always had a soft spot for stainless steel kitchen sinks. Though they're often dismissed as a budget or utilitarian option (and some are certainly better made than others), they really are great workhorses, able to stand up to heavy use and abuse while still looking beautiful >>>...
When furniture designers found themselves gloomy, questioning the purpose of their inane creations, they may have thought throwing lights into their projects would lull them out of their depression. Whether or not that worked, the glowing couches and tables are a treat for consumers. Like moths, we freak out over anything that lights up >>>...
Next time you think about throwing a luau, forget the grass skirt and grab some grass furniture instead.
This furniture merges the home with a grassy meadow. Even with potted plants, the home ensemble just isn’t green enough >>>...
If you follow our blog, you know that we're "green" at heart. I, personally, don't hug a lot of trees, but I do admire them and walk out of my way to pass houses with beautiful landscaping. Usually that means a flowering fruit tree or maybe a bush pruned to look like a giraffe >>>...
How many times have you been warned not to throw rocks at a glass house, and how many times has that advice come in handy? Well, brave architects are planning to build a glass house showroom this year. They won't have any trouble filling it, either, with the glass furniture, glass tile, glass accents, and glass everything else that's already available. They'll have to work around birds trying to fly in and people looking up ladies' skirts, but the design itself will be no problem >>>...
I'm going to let you in on a little secret - I love buying furniture second hand. It's like the pieces you find at a thrift shot, flea market, or just on the side of the road come pre-installed with a heaping helping of personality and potential. After all, if you only paid $5 for it, you'll probably feel a little more at liberty to get creative with it >>>...
Rustic decor is great on its own for a cabin feel or to remind you of Grandma's farmhouse. It also mixes surprisingly well into almost any other home decor. Unless, of course, your pad is space age or hardcore industrial, at which point I make no promises >>>...
I'm sold on rustic decor and its use of sustainable reclaimed wood furniture. If you aren't yet, take my word for it until you see the photos below or get up to speed with my first post in the series. The short story is that adding country-inspired furniture and accents is a fun new trend, reclaimed wood is eco friendly, and it lets you keep family heirlooms without going for totally country decor >>>...
