The benefits of Florida living include things such as the ability to have a summer and winter garden. While friends to the north are under a blanket of snow, Floridians are still making use of outdoor spaces. Outdoor living spaces have recently been evolving with technological advancements that make them better than ever before.

The bathroom is probably the most trafficked room in the whole house. It’s also the room that just happens to be in need every day, by every family member, often at the same inconvenient moments.

So, you are thinking about outdoor kitchen remodeling? We think that's wonderful. We know how much time people spend entertaining, grilling and relaxing outdoors. We often recommend installing an outdoor kitchen in Florida to complement a traditional indoor kitchen. We've divided up the typical outdoor kitchen design into four key areas to give you a head start on your dreaming and planning. These areas are as follows: wet areas, dry areas, hot areas and cold areas.

Now that the holidays are over and we are well into the New Year, you may be thinking of taking on some new renovation ideas in your home. As a designer, I like to look back through the years at trends that are still making my clients smile.

What are you — Are you a gray person or a beige person? As a home remodel designer, the first thing I like to determine with my clients is whether they prefer gray or beige. This doesn’t mean we aren’t going to use color, but our design needs a starting point or backdrop to guide our design. Most clients tend to lean one way or the other based on their style of home, other colors they may have picked out, etc. Whichever tone is most popular at the time — and there is always one that is trendier — shouldn’t determine your selection. Both gray and beige are timeless colors and will stand the test of time.
