Our living and dining rooms are attached. To give you an idea of our house layout, the living room/dining room and family room take up the same space as the upstairs master bedroom and ensuite. I loved the layout as soon as we saw the home. The dining room can only...

We bought furniture for our family room during our kitchen renovation since the two rooms are connected. We always had a plan to resolve the issue with two competing focal points; the corner fireplace and the television. Our family room went through several iterations...

Our master ensuite renovation was a bit of a tagalong with our guest bathroom remodel. It looks so much more spacious than it originally did as we removed a shower/bath combo along with the half wall and bulkhead surrounding it. I am astounded at how different it...

So we are building a wall unit bookshelf in our living room soon. I am looking for antique brass hardware (which is a more aged-looking and duller version of the bright gold brass that was popular in the 80s and 90s) – specifically latches for the cabinet doors and...
