Oh Holy Kitchen
Going To The Chapel And I’m Going To…Cook Dinner!
Mr. LBD has wanted to convert a church into our home on several occasions. He has even seriously looked at two I can remember that were vast caverns of space complete with enough Sunday school rooms to be a hotel. Except for picturing the baptismal tank as the most wonderful home spa, I just couldn’t warm up to the idea. (pun intended) In addition, I have memories of serving a hundred hungry men “prayer pancake breakfast” far to often in a dark church kitchen to imagine a kitchen like that as our own.
How Designers Motivate Other Designers
Designers Can Look At Before And After Photos All Day Long!
Last Friday we looked at some before and after photos of a home being updated to go to market. We received several emails, and comments on how you like to look at these transformations.

Good Interior Design Starts With What You Already Own
Is Your Home Out Of Balance?
Often in a home, that we otherwise love, there is a design feature that is a little “off”. Something that just does not feel right to us. The marble in the photo above could be one such feature. Although there are some cool furnishings in this room, I’m not getting the urge to cuddle up yet. Is the marble just “too blue”? Is a costly renovation in the future?
