I was amazed when my grinning, petite 5’3” wife Rose hopped waaaaaay down from the Chevy Tahoe she was ‘tooling around’ in while her smaller SUV was in for service. She said she LOVED this big rig. So, I asked why.

Rose went on and on about how sturdy it was.  She loved how she could see EVERYTHING sitting up so high. She went on about how safe she felt and even loved the vibrating seats when the rig crossed lanes and she forgot to hit the…

When you hear the word ‘custom’ (or custom closet) does it send shivers down your spine? Are you picturing money gushing out of your purse faster than Khloe Kardashian can say, “I bought another pair of Jimmy Choo’s?”

If you’re looking to upgrade your master closet, a reach in closet for your kid’s disastrous bedroom, or just want to ‘find’ space in your hall closet so everything doesn’t come tumbling out, you know figuring out the…

Aunt Betty can be a bit on the finicky side (OK – if we’re being real, she…

When you think about your mudroom what words come to mind? Is it neat, organized, everything’s in its place? Or do the words ‘blown-apart’ come to mind? Are you looking at piles of shoes, book bags, sports duffle bags and packages waiting to be put ‘somewhere’ in a jumbled mess?

If your life resembles most people who are ‘attempting’ to keep your head above water raising kids, working AND trying to keep your home at least ‘somewhat’…

Murphy wall beds. How can something so old (the concept was invented over 105 years ago), become so fresh, exciting and necessary in today’s homes and lofts? Here’s how.
