Of all the rooms in a house, the most detailed and complex to design is the kitchen. It is also arguably the most important room in a house. Most of us will, at some point in our lives, want to remodel, design, or upgrade a kitchen. Sometimes, that requires the help of a trained interior designer. Other times, the homeowner is completely capable of handling that job themself. With that in mind, I thought this DIYer’s guide on how to design your own kitchen might come in handy. At the very least, it should provide a good place to start and help you to determine if you will require assistance.

How To Cut the Cord on Your Cable Service
Have you been wondering about how to cut the cord on your cable service? With the mad dash for everyone to dump their cable service, it really got me to thinking about how much money I waste each month on my own. I will admit that my husband and I are addicted to binging. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime to feed our habit, and we occasionally subscribe to Hulu to catch our favorites, (the Handmaid’s Tale and any Stephen King related shows). But, at least with those services, I can stop them each month and resume whenever I want. With cable, it is a completely, different story.

These are the best gift ideas for crafters and DIYers. Choose from this list, and you can’t go wrong.
Butler’s Pantry VS Scullery – What’s the Difference?
Last week, I was following along in a forum discussion about kitchen designs. A woman was asking questions about here plans for her new kitchen. She seemed to really have a grasp on what she wanted, but she asked if anyone could answer the question, “butler’s pantry vs scullery – what’s the difference?”There were a few people who got it correct, but I was surprised at how many people had never heard of a scullery and weren’t really sure what was the purpose of a butler’s pantry. Needless to say, that sparked this little article.

The farmhouse chic design style has become very popular over the past few years – mostly thanks to HGTV’s Fixer Upper. However, down here in the south, we have been loving the farmhouse chic design style much longer. You might call this a staple design for those of us in the heart of the bible belt. But now, with this style spreading like wildfire, I have been receiving so many requests for information – how to do it, where to buy the decor, etc – that I am finally caving in and giving you what you want. With that in mind, I have rounded up some inspirational rooms along with the products that are essential in achieving these looks.
