By and large, laundry rooms come in two flavors: banished to the basement, or put on a pedestal in gorgeous, fully-finished, dedicated laundry rooms. But what if I told you there was another option? Rather than dedicating a huge amount of space to a washer and dryer, or condemning yourself to trudging up and down […]
We’ve all seen pictures of huge, boutique-style walk-in closets. You know the ones: with shoes, jewelry, ties, and cuff links on display so you can meet each day like you’ve just had a visit with a personal stylist. But I’ve had bedrooms smaller than some of these showpiece closets; they simply aren’t a reality for […]

You may feel like your grandparents when trying to keep up with latest slang and trends. But while “grand millennial” is new terminology, it’s likely a style you’ve seen before.

Whether it’s a catastrophic knee-deep backup or a few inches of water that came from nowhere, floods can be a devastating shock.
