A Space to Call Her Own We have all heard the term man cave. There are television shows about them. There are neon signs for them. The need for a man cave came about when the den became the family room and the man of the house needed a workshop…or a place to escape. Which for many men has always been the garage. The décor of a home has commonly been dictated by the woman of the house, so some (likely [...]

I suppose it makes sense that I love kitchens. They have a reputation for being the heart of the home, I love to cook, and our family business is cabinet making. We have designed and built some lovely kitchens over the years…I wish ours was one of them! Our kitchen is not a dream kitchen. We went through a period of time when the oven door would simply fall off of the oven. This is never good. We now [...]
We are making our plans, for what has now become a yearly trip to the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show. The show runs February 25 – March 1. Honestly, it gets to be a long week displaying at the show. However, it is always exciting to see the new trends and products that show up. This year the idea home has an active lifestyle theme. Design experts have found that active people prefer a smaller home because they spend [...]
Tiny Home from Country Living We spent part of last week displaying at the Lake Home and Cabin Show. It is hard to be around all the woodsy goodness and not want a little piece for ourselves. It seems like just about everyone either has a get-away place or wishes they did. We all want a place to call our own. A special place where we can escape the day to day grind and recharge. But that little slice of heaven [...]

January is traditionally the month when most people at least give some thought to getting more organized. It is also the time of year when many of us make some plans for how we will spend our time and money in the year ahead. I recently learned of a cool service that Target offers that can save you time, money, and aggravation. Another reason to love Target. Target offer a subscription service http://www.target.com/c/target-subscriptions-ways-to-shop/-/N-55b84 that allows you to shop thousands of commonly [...]
What is the most often asked question at home shows when we are there exhibiting our roll out shelves? What solutions do you have for spice storage and organization? Many of us have an abundance of spices. We end up purchasing a spice because we need a 1/4 teaspoon for a recipe and the bottle sits in our cupboard. Or since we have so many spices, we can”t find what we need. So we go purchase another bottle only to [...]
Six Pre-Winter Chores Spring cleaning gets a lot of attention, but I am far more motivated to do a deep autumn cleaning. Knowing that we are about to spend a lot of time in our home encourages me to make it the best it can be. There are countless things one can do around the house, the list never ends…but here are a few suggestions for things to get done before the snow flies and the temperature dips. Clean the exterior [...]
