Adding a second sink is starting to show up on a lot of kitchen to-do lists. It's one of those features that you probably wouldn't even think to want if you hadn't heard of it before, but makes so much sense when you do. Having a second sink, whether a small prep sink or a second full sized one, can solve a whole host of common kitchen annoyances >>>...

Seasons come and go and design trends change right along with them. So even if you're in the habit of updating your home regularly, last year's words of wisdom usually don't still apply. And if it's been even longer since you've updated your bathroom, it can be even harder to figure out what's hot and what's not >>>...
The last few years have been pretty rough for homeowners. With home values dropping and money tight all around, it's been a while since big home renovation has been at the front of anyone's mind. But 2013 promises to be an end to a years-long dry spell, with many homeowners already planning major remodels >>>...
Yesterday I mentioned that home improvement projects are making a big comeback. It's going to be a good year to remodel, renovate, fix up, or update your home, but the common thread between all the most common projects is eco friendliness and sustainability. If you're looking to green your home this year but aren't quite sure where to start, here are a few types of "green home" upgrades to help you figure out where your home is doing well, and where it can stand to improve >>>...
What most people don't know about bathroom vanities is that, in most cases, when you buy a one, you're JUST buying the vanity. Bathroom vanity combos like those from Cole+Co's Bathroom In A Box collection - which include the vanity top, sink, and faucet as well - are the exception rather than the rule. That means that the search for the perfect vanity doesn't end with finding one you love - you still have to find, pay for, install, and even sometimes custom make all the rest of the parts, too >>>...
Designing your dream kitchen can be hard enough without trying to predict how well your sense of style will hold up in years to come. But having a little knowledge of what's hot right now (and which trends are on their way out) can help you get a little more mileage out of your next remodel. Plus, having a good sense of some of the most desirable features can help you figure out where to splurge and where to hold back to get the biggest possible update for your budget, whether that means a major renovation or a quick facelift >>>...
Bathroom vanities come in all sizes, shapes, and styles, but some features are much more difficult to find than others. Solid wood bathroom vanities, for example, have become increasingly rare as use of particleboard and MDF has become more common. Unfinished bathroom vanities are all but unheard of, and are only really available from select high end manufacturers >>>...
Choosing the perfect vanity for a master bathroom is a bit of a balancing act. Of course you want the vanity to look good, but even more important is finding one that works well. After all, having two sinks and plenty of storage is a must for keeping the peace in many relationships, and unfortunately many vanities that focus solely on style do so at the expense of functionality >>>...
Color is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to interior design, but choosing even a single color to paint the walls with can be stressful, let alone choosing and implementing a color scheme for the whole room. It's easy to look at a paint chip or color wheel and find a color you like, but it's much, much harder to build a room around it - particularly when you get your paint sample home and the color you loved on paper is only so-so the second it hits your walls. That said, there are lots of color combinations that are pretty much guaranteed to work together, and popular palettes that have a nice sense of unity and will help keep your room looking on trend >>>...
