Add Custom Touches to an Internet Nursery

Matt Fox — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 06:26:42 +0000

I love decorating kid’s rooms. You can decorate around a theme, and add great accessories, many of which can be purchased at the toy store (my kind of shopping). I must admit, though, I’m not as fond of decorating nurseries. Pastels don’t really do much for me, and stuffed bunnies and lambs just can’t compete...

Pull-out Pot and Pan Storage Drawer

Matt Fox — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:50:55 +0000

Of all of the rooms that Shari and I have decorated, the most difficult to organize is the kitchen. There’s just too much stuff, and not enough places to put it. Pots and pans seem to present one of the biggest storage dilemmas. If you have an island in your kitchen, you might try hanging...
