Have You Ever Seen a Thatched Roof Being Built?

Shari Hiller — Sun, 02 Aug 2015 02:40:50 +0000

The other day I was driving home through an area of shops and restaurants and I passed by something I’ve never seen before – a thatched roof being created. With the framework in place, this man was either stacking several palm fronds together or maybe rolling several together…it was tough to tell from where I...

Konnie...

Unique Water Shut-Off Position

Shari Hiller — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 16:16:46 +0000

I took a photo of this in my friend T.J.’s model home, because I thought it was such a smart idea. I have spent many agonizing hours trying to paint around, tape around, wallpaper around, and upholster around the water shut-off under the commode. You’ve done this haven’t you? You try laying on the commode,...

Are Vessel Sinks Practical?

Shari Hiller — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:58:59 +0000

OK, I don’t have a vessel sink but I do think they can be stunning. I just wonder if there is a possibility that you might keep running into it as you move your hands around with toothbrushes, tubes, bottles and the like. Also, do they collect dust and bathroom debris under them and are...

Stainless Steel Back Splash – Yea or Nay?

Shari Hiller — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 06:44:13 +0000

When I saw this stainless steel tile back splash I immediately thought, wow that looks so sleek and modern. I love it! Then I started thinking about how my stainless steel sink looks right now and that maybe it isn’t such a great idea. Although, I don’t really scrub my back splash too often, maybe...

A Curved Shower Rod is The Bomb!

Don’t you hate it when the shower curtain floats into the tub and either sticks to your wet body or leaves you little or no room to wash up? Well, my daughter and I solved that in her bathroom with a curved shower curtain and we’ll never go back to the old style! Have you...

Can You Do This with Your Box of Chalk?

Shari Hiller — Sat, 15 Mar 2014 14:33:29 +0000

We have a Chalk Festival in my town every year and I have to tell you that the art created is amazing. The designs are all put in the middle of the street which is closed off for a short period and then the art usually remains until it washes away. This is one that...

Printed Lamp Shades Add a Nice Detail

Shari Hiller — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:55:29 +0000

I know this isn’t the first printed lamp shade you’ve seen, but it certainly is an interesting one, especially since we’ve been having discussions about the color gray. I do like the idea of giving your shade a little lift with a colored fabric, texture, pleating, folds and now printed patterns. You might want to...
