Total disclosure: We LOVE contemporary sinks around here. So if this post comes off a bit too flattering, accept our apologies in advance.   Last week, we promised a close look at our dream sink and we’ve been chomping at the bit to deliver. Can you blame us? Look at this beauty. It’s the kind [...]

While all thoughts have turned to spring and style, and the light bathing our homes makes us want to refresh and renew, we thought we’d take a closer look at today’s reigning home styles—contemporary, traditional and transitional. We’ll devote May to all things contemporary because, well, that’s where we felt like starting. You know “contemporary” [...]

It’s an all-out year for color, and it seems like just about anything goes. From Pantone’s color of the year, Tangerine Tango,  and stop-in-your-tracks neon home accessories to romantic white and soft pastels, this year is truly running the gamut.

We keep talking about sinks, but a sink without a faucet is like peanut butter without jelly, or Brad without Angelina. Let’s assume you already have a sink in mind. What should you think about as you seek a mate for it? You won’t be surprised to find out that we have a few opinions [...]

We’ve had the brains-over-looks conversation here before, so loyal readers will know how we feel about the importance of balancing form and function. That’s especially true now, as spring fashion, spring cleaning, and spring construction projects are on everyone’s minds. We’re all looking at what’s hot on the market, and we may need a reminder [...]

If you’re building an addition for your kitchen or blowing in insulation, you may not be keen to take on your own kitchen renovation. But if you’re relatively patient and creative, there are lots of jobs that you can do yourself—especially with the help of online videos and been-there bloggers like Linda at It All [...]
