    How to Build a Refrigerator Cabinet

    When we designed the kitchen in our latest renovation project, one of the must haves was a custom white oak refrigerator cabinet. This included a built-in refrigerator covered in custom white oak door panels. At first, I was a little intimidated by this project. But once I designed it and broke it down into sections, I feel much better about it. And once it was finished, I felt really good about it because it turned out better than we imagined.

    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.

    How to Install a Rain Chain

    I recently installed a rain chain on the front porch gutter at the flip house. We were originally going to go with a single downspout attached to one of the posts. However, we didn’t like the asymmetry it created. So we opted to go with a rain chain, which turned out to be a great choice. It’s more subtle than the downspout visually, but still adds a little something to create additional interest and curb appeal.

    Interior windows are an unexpected design feature in a home that allows natural light to flow from one room to another. Adding interior windows is also a great way to make a room feel more open without completely removing a wall.
