Here, I replaced some old, rotted wooden doors on hinges with these fabulous bi-folding ones. Nana Wall makes these and they are a wonderful way to make the inside one with the outside. They are also a perfect choice for remodeling, as when replacing even a set of double doors, they can have a huge impact in creating this very open look.

At last, Viking has come out with a new and improved designer’s series of appliances! If you love their classic look, but find it too industrial for your designs, this is the perfect solution! Not that we needed more, but it is also the best deal any where around! You can get a full Viking kitchen in the new designer’s series for under $10,000! Most people don’t choose Viking because they think that they can’t afford it. Think again! Thanks, to the fabulous Viking Range Corporation!

I just found this fabulous new designer, Amber Trueblood. Her work is amazing and she does custom pieces, too! You will love her just as much as her work. She is young, beautiful and totally down to earth! Her website is : www.ambertrueblood.com

West Elm does it again! I love these new side tables from their Spring collection! Not only are they stylish, but they also have a drawer for storage which would be perfect for the remote control to hide in. These would also make great bedside tables. This proves, once again, that great design doesn’t have to be expensive!
