Trove of Treasures
It’s that time of year again when we focus on the Parade of Homes Showcase. We normally work alongside builder, Don Hamrick, to select the materials for his homes. We start with the outside brick, hardy board or siding, windows, roofing, porch materials, lighting...
Fun and Easy Projects
Projects with style elements for entries and mudrooms can be a fun and easy décor. To start with, access what you would like to change. If you wanted to change your mudroom to a light cottage or farmhouse feel, add some shiplap or drop zone seating. You can also...
