It’s hard to believe August is already here. Fortunately the days will still be warm for a couple more months, so there’s still time to enjoy simple pleasures on the front porch. Speaking of porches, my daughter is currently house hunting and I accompanied her last night to see a quaint, older tri-level that has…
Icon (ahy-con), a person or thing that is revered or idolized. Yes, that’s what has happened to the farmhouse sink. It’s risen to the status of an icon in kitchens across America.

When I think of Joanna Gaines’ decorating style, I’m always reminded of a black and white palette. She tends to use the combination more so than other designers, in a farmhouse kind of way. Today’s black and white modern farmhouse kitchen by reDesign home is similar with rich wood for a warm and inviting look. Photo…
