Make Your Dining Room Special
I'm stuffed!
We just got up from the dinner table where we enjoyed a particularly great meal. My wife can do some serious cookin' which is good news considering how much the three boys around her table eat. Dinner time is an event in our house!
It got me to thinking. What really makes a great dining [...]
Is Your Barn Door Open?
My grandma use to ask me all the time… "boy, were you born in a barn?" No, ma'am, I'd say, and she would then remind me to close the door that I'd left open. Usually a door from the house to the outside, which is where I spent my time. The house was for bathroom [...]
Unique Walkways
Plenty to talk about in this picture! But I picked it out with one thing already in mind.
Walkways. Have you ever considered trying to use some stones like this to create a landscape border? It's really not anywhere near as hard as you would think. Finding the stones is half the battle.

Think Tools For Fathers Day — The Gift That Gives Back!
With Mothers Day this weekend, I bet many of you are starting to think about Father's Day. What gift to give?

The only money I ever made playing pool was off a buddy of mine [...]
Choosing Front Door Colors
Have you ever sat and stared at color samples with a blank stare and felt like saying… uh, I dunno? I know I have and I'm supposed to be a pro. But sometimes color choices can be downright hard! But it really is important, right? I mean the future happiness of our family could depend [...]
Yellow, Counter Tops
In all my years I'm not sure I've ever seen a yellow countertop, have you? As much as I might like to see one of those, we won't be doing that today! But we will see some yellow, and we will see some counters!
Take a look at this picture from House Beautiful:
I notice SO MUCH [...]
Inspiration Central at Blissful Home
Let me ask you something. What in the world could be cooler for the decorator/remodeler/home lover in you than the internet?
My thought is that, aside from a $5,000 shopping spree at some cool store like Williams-Sonoma or Pottery Barn (better make it $10,000.00… you don't want to hear my toaster story), not much! The internet [...]
