You don’t need a massive swimming pool, fancy furniture and acres of land for a resort-style backyard. When it comes to the difference it’s usually the combination of elements around the pool that makes the real difference. A simple pool, combined with the planning of a deck, plants, fencing, lighting and seating can be surprisingly…
There is no need for a rustic style bedroom to be all brown wood, beige walls or heavy furniture. Some color, and you have a completely different vibe with that same chill country vibe. This is where teal excels. Deep enough to feel homey and inviting but fresh when combined with cream, sand, terracotta or…
You’re not the only one who feels like your bedroom looks more like a storage unit than a place to relax. A small bedroom tends to be a very fast clutter catcher and most furniture stores are not exactly set up to service a 120 square foot area. The good news? There is no need…
Kids generally love sharing a bedroom, but the room needs some thought. A boy or a girl may have entirely different visions of what their room should look like. While one is calling for dinosaurs on the walls, the other asks that clouds and stars or a favorite color be painted. You do not have…

The smallest room in the house is sometimes the nicest but that’s just because it can’t hold any rubbish. That is actually a great starting point. Decide what a guest really needs rather…
A bathroom shelf is more than just a shelf. It stores towels, your plants, half-finished candles, and somehow it makes the entire room look neat or totally neglected. We all tend to go with whatever we have in the house, then ask ourselves, “Why does it feel flat?” The reality is, whether you’re aiming for…
The bedroom door is likely to be overlooked more than any other surface in your home! You pass it by, open it, shut it and never really take the time to look at it. But it’s unfortunate, as it’s one of the simplest items to swap out in a room without having to lift a…
Every homeowner feels that a cabin bedroom has something special. It gives you a calm feeling and the aroma of natural wood simply cannot be missed. When gentle light falls into your room and it shines on the wood it becomes mesmerizing. Usually the rustic bedroom setups feel special as compared to modern bedrooms. It’s…
Though a fireplace can dramatically alter the ambiance of a living space, installing one doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need to dominate one whole wall of your living room with this cozy hearth. Installing a corner fireplace can make use of an awkward or seldom-used corner, whilst adding charm, warmth and an undeniable focal point. The…
