Quick Fix: Easy Toe-Kick Lighting

September 25th, 2011

Toe-kick lighting in the kitchen or bathroom can be both practical and good-looking. While it serves as a type of path light for rooms where extra safety measures are needed, it can also add a sense of warmth and depth to a room.

Dreaming of a Bedroom Walkout

September 24th, 2011

After buying a house that offers an outdoor escape directly from the bedroom, I've had a firsthand look at what it's like to have such a luxury. Sure, it's a simple thing, really — we'd never bat an eye at having a door off the front of the house. It's normal and expected. But to have a private escape off the side of your bedroom is something else entirely.Whether it's a walkout t ...

Put favorite photos on display for art that fills you with love and pride

September 23rd, 2011

Upon entering someone's home for the first time, it's not the art (no matter how impressive) that captures my attention, it's the family photos. Black-and-white or sepia-toned images invite me in for a closer look. My ears twitch in anticipation to hear the story behind the photo. Get the idea? I love family photos.

It's time to make peace with the gadgets, wires and TV screens that serve us so well

September 21st, 2011

We live in a world driven by technology, yet so often we’re told to create rooms as though it didn’t exist. Designers turn their noses up at televisions, while shelter publications and coffee table books unplug lamps and airbrush cords, erasing all traces of electronics.
