Too many homes that are built today have no personality, soul or vitality. Plain off-white walls, generic carpets, vinyl floors, off the shelf cabinets and counter tops and so on. So what can you do? This blog will be dedicated to exploring ways to enhance and transform your house into a home that reflects the uniqueness of YOU!
We all have preferences and as in most blogs this one will undoubtedly reflect mine, so why don't I give you some idea of what to expect.
I love older homes, especially Craftsman style, Bungalow style home that have a lot of character. I also like old farmhouses, especially some prairie style homes.
I hate plastic! Whether it is plastic furniture, plastic walls (i.e. latex paint), plastic floors (vinyl) or plastic counter tops (Formica). What I like is plaster walls, natural wood and tile floors, and concrete, marble, stone or tile counters.
I dislike the chemicals that are used in the production of many building products and I am convinced that they pose a health risk to many people. I will talk about ways to eliminate or reduce the use of these products and suggest alternatives that are more people friendly. Just because a product is labeled "green" doesn't mean that it is safe!
I will explore many of these options and talk about new products as well as old products that are being rediscovered. Products and methods that I am passionate about will crop up in many different posts, but I will gladly take suggestions as well as respond to questions and comments.
