Refresh Your Kitchen With A Few Smart Updates

Decorating Should Be Fun in a Laundry Room
I'm not sure where the term "laundry day blues" came from, but maybe it?s because most laundry rooms are depressing. They don't excite our fun side. If you have to do laundry - and most of us do - why not create a space that is a joy to visit? This could become one of...
Gold and White are a Classic Combination
An ever-changing color palette keeps home decor stimulating and interesting. As the winter season gives us frosty white scenes outside in some parts of the country, we are seeing a similar design trend for interiors for 2015: gold and white. Unlike some recent color...
Make Room In Your House For Presents
Great design is all about editing; getting rid of what doesn?t work and keeping what does. I think this week?s topic falls perfectly into this theory. Take a look under your Christmas tree. Inside those beautifully wrapped packages are sweaters, coats, socks, toys,...

Turn a Boring Bedroom into a Comfy Retreat
We spend about 10 hours a day on average in the bedroom. That’s a good part of the day, so why not make this retreat one of the best rooms in the house? To do the job well, it’s important to understand that bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping. They serve many purposes....
Metal Beds Take On A Whole New Vibe
