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 [...]
A New Way To Garden This is the time of year when many people get the itch to garden. Have you heard of straw bale gardening? When I first did, it didn’t make much sense to me and then the more I learned the more I thought it sounded fantastic. You see, I love fresh produce and I hate weeding. Straw bale gardening makes for prolific plants and virtually no weeds. Brilliant! Like with most things, the prep work is an investment. [...]

Kitchen Design Trends Are you like me and are hoping this is the year to FINALLY remodel your kitchen? 9 years ago we moved into our home (after fully renovating our previous home) and decided the first thing we would change was the kitchen. Instead we replaced all the mechanicals, dealt with a flooding issue, planted over 1,000 plants and revamped all the landscaping, and decided to have me work full time in the cabinetry business as well. So, fast [...]
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 [...]
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 can be expensive. Perhaps [...]

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 [...]
