When it comes to a renovation, the kitchen is probably one of the most challenging spaces to work with. It's the space that gets the most use, so having it out of commission for a period of time can mean a lot of take out and washing dishes in your bathroom sink.

While the end result will be worth it, there are a few things you need to know and do before you dive into the project.

We've talked about how important it is that your bathroom feel and look elegant. It should be a soothing space that you can retreat to after a long hard day.  One of the important elements in making your bathroom look and feel elegant are the accessories and bath products you place in it.

When it comes to choosing hardwood flooring, there are many things to consider. There are various finishes, types of wood, and materials to name a few. There are also other considerations to think about such as site finished versus shop finished and which material and finish will be the most durable.

Choosing the right finishes can set the tone and enhance the overall design of your home's interior. There are a variety of finishes to choose from when it comes to cabinetry/door hardware, plumbing, and the like, including nickel, brass and oil-rubbed bronze. When done appropriately, mixing finishes keeps your eye moving and creates more interest in your home, much like using multiple colors in a painting.

Now that it's officially fall, cool mornings and evenings have set in. There's nothing better this time of year than to cozy up on the couch with your softest and warmest blanket or throw or layer up with your comfiest attire.

The month that brought us the official start of fall, kick-off of football season, and a long holiday weekend is coming to an end. While it's been an eventful and fun month, it's time to usher in October. Before we do, here's a little recap of posts from this past month.

We've been working on something really exciting over the last few months behind the scenes and we're excited to finally share the news with our blog readers.

Along with your kitchen, your living or family room is the place where you probably spend much of your time. It's where guests sit and visit and where your family enjoys good quality time together whether it's watching television, playing games, or visiting with friends. Because it's a room that gets a good amount of use, the accessories and furnishings you select for this space should be functional and inviting.

Your bathroom is an important part of your home. It's one of the first rooms {besides your bedroom} that you see soon after waking and one of the last ones you see before going to bed. It should feel relaxing and refreshing. A place where you can go to get pampered and rejuvenated.

The first official day of fall is right around the corner, which means it's almost time to dig out your boots and sweaters that have been tucked away for several months. The changing season means cooler temperatures and warmer clothes - but it also means new fashion trends.
