I love when companies come up with smart home products (no pun intended there).  Something that makes your home life just a little bit easier.  It’s an added bonus if it’s also pretty.  Our Legrand wifi lighting system fits the bill in both areas. We’ve worked with Legrand before (remember the cool light switch and […]

As we’ve been getting closer to moulding and shelving installations, I’ve been narrowing down exactly where I want all of the special details like built-in shelves, moulding accents, etc.  I knew right away I wanted built-ins around the new huge window in the den (previously the formal dining room), which we’re planning to use as […]

Have I mentioned what a pain in the arse this project is?  Being without a bathroom adjacent to our bedroom, yet a gateway to our closet, remodeling the master bathroom is not unlike a root canal.  Painful, yet necessary, and in the end, you’re so glad you did it.  Just to strengthen the argument, remember what […]
