Renovating a house is an exciting experience. You have the opportunity to reinvent your living space by changing the look and functionality. But when is the right time to do it? And how to do it smartly? Here are five tips that can help you.
All summer you’ve enjoyed your outdoor space as a place to relax and entertain. Thanks to a gloriously extended season of warmth, your porch, deck or yard have been well used and loved. But the days are getting shorter, the light is fading, and evenings are downright cold. Layers of flannel shirts and collection of lap robes aside, it’s undeniable; autumn is closing in and it’s time to move inside. But just because you’ve shifted your life back inside the house doesn’t mean you have to close the door on that outdoor atmosphere. Here are 5 ways you can bring the outdoors inside.
The trauma of watching TV news about seasonal storms can send me mentally packing straight back to Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012. The sinking feeling returns, that I experienced watching what looked like Niagara Falls cascading down our long, downward sloping driveway, heading straight to the basement-level garage.
I won’t soon forget the day my teenage son was taking a shower in one of the three bathrooms of our 70’s built high ranch house when he suddenly started shouting and cussing, using language he’d been advised not to use.
Ever since I set eyes on the glam coffee table book, “She Sheds: A Room of Your Own ” by Erika Kotite, I’ve coveted an escape place to call my own. Never seen this book? Well, if you’ve got a shed or have ever thought of building a shed, it’s a must-look.
When I tell people about my profession as an interior designer, I often get responses like “oh my gosh, that’s SO cool. I would love to do that!” Well, I’ll tell you first hand, this industry is not all that it seems. It’s not really like “reality” TV shows or the numerous channels dedicated to decorating and remodeling. One of the very first important lessons I learned on the job after college was “You always need to manage client expectations.” Now, more than ever, that sentence rings true.
Water is one of the most essential things we need to survive. It’s no wonder so many of us gravitate towards water in one way or another. Water views, lakeside living, scenic ponds, water features, backyard pools. Having water incorporated at your home can help drive resale value and benefit your quality of life. This post is dedicated to all things water! Here are some inspiring ways to add more water to your outdoor space, or make your existing space more enjoyable!
