    Our Favorite Faux Boxwoods

    Boxwoods are one of my favorite shrubs to use in containers. I’ve always had great luck with them thriving and living for years. However, in our current home, our back porches don’t get much sunlight. This has made it difficult to use real boxwoods in these areas. So lately, I’ve been buying some faux boxwoods. And I’m actually loving the fact that they are maintenance-free. That means no watering, no pruning, and no mess!

    How to Choose the Perfect Bookshelf Lighting

    I love incorporating lights with built-ins, especially bookshelves. There’s just something about that extra detail above the shelving that creates so much interest. When choosing the perfect bookshelf lighting, there are a few things you need to take into account. The first thing to consider is the size of the light. You want to make sure that it is not too large or too small for your bookcase. Secondly, you need to decide where to place the light. Some people prefer to have lights on either side of their bookcase, while others like a single light in the center above. Finally, you need to choose between picture lights and wall sconces. In this article, I’ll go over all of this and show you some of my favorite lights for bookshelves.

    How to Install Vaulted Ceiling Beams

    We’ve always been big fans of vaulted ceiling beams, especially in a kitchen. This is why we installed them in our kitchen and in the flip house. There are several different approaches you can take when doing vaulted ceiling beams, from the design to the type of beams you use. For both of these kitchens, we decided to do wood box beams. They make installation much easier since they are so much lighter than solid wood beams. The ones in our kitchen we built on-site, while the ones in the flip house were premade.

You want to choose a piece that will fit comfortably on your wall without looking crowded or too small. You also want to make sure that the style of the piece matches the rest of your décor.
