Kitchen Transformation: Photos of a Step-by-Step Renovation Process

Tanya Lacourse — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:45:00 -0400

Over the past two plus years I have been working on my kitchen. It is the most expensive room to remodel in the house, so I've been doing it piece by piece which is slighting difficult for the impatient (that would be me) but also very satisfying to transform the space exactly how I want it, as I can afford it. What I find to be utmost gratifying is to look at the photos of the process. I am not there yet, but I have certainly come a long way! More

Clean & Simple: 7 Modern Baths

Theresa Gonzalez — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:30:00 -0400

So it was with great envy that I searched these clean, modern bathrooms for you. If minimal and neutral is your thing, you might find these inspiring (I especially like the ones that warm up a bit of the starkness with warm woods). Enjoy. More

Beth Callaghan — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:15:00 -0400

One of my favorite parts of lazy summer days is playing a fun lawn game. We recently acquired a croquet set, and I've been thinking about other games that might be fun to take outdoors. Twister seems perfect: the soft grass cushions any falls, and everyone likes laying around in the yard, right? Try these tutorials to make your own outdoor Twister game. More

Coordinating Runner For This Rug? Good Questions

Regina Yunghans — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:00:00 -0400

Q: I was thinking of this rug as an accent to go in front of my bed. (The walls are 'healing aloe', a soft bluish green; the bed is always dressed in white; wood floors.) The color of the rug is called 'silver' by the manufacturer, but I have also seen it described as black and beige, so I think it is sort of neutral. More

Tess Wilson — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:30:00 -0400

The days are getting warmer and sparklier, and it's time to head outside. What better way to enjoy your yard than by playing shiny, pretty games while ice cubes tinkle merrily in your drink? And for those of us without yards, someone really needs to invent Fire Escape Horseshoes... More
