Tips to Make your Home Unique!!

Do you ever wonder "how did they THINK about that" when you visit a friends new
home or see an image on Pinterest??

Well, we are here to help! A few tips on how to make your home THAT much better
with a couple easy "fixes".

1. Hide Outlets under your cabinets instead of on your backsplash

What do you notice about this kitchen we completed?? A beautiful backsplash??
YES!!! It is not interrupted by "ugly" outlets. We hid them underneath the cabinets
as shown in the top image!

2. Buy a toilet seat where everyone has their own tabs

This one cracks us up! Hey-- If you are "germy" then what better way to use the
toilet than with your own personal toilet seat… ?!?!

3. Recess your outlets in the walls so your furniture can be
pushed up against the wall

Do you have a console that is pushed away from the wall about 1" because you need to plug that lamp in? We have a solution for you. Recessed outlets cure all problems ;)

4. Use slide out drawers for spices

We are currently incorporating this unique cabinetry solution into a custom kitchen of a client. A fun and organized way to store and see your spices!

5. Add a window seat to the landing of your staircase

There is usually a small space of waste space at the landing of a staircase. Why not make that usable space and install a small seat? A great way to bring in color and fabric.

6. Use kitchen drawers as cutting boards

We love this. Using a top shelf that might be too shallow to be an actual drawer, as a cutting board and installing the trash can below for easy trash access.
