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.
A wire brush finish is a great way to add more interest and texture to wood. For example, I recently built a couple of bathroom vanities out of solid white oak. The style of the vanities is minimalist with very clean lines. I thought it would be cool to create a contrast by distressing the wood. I did this with a wire brush. The technique is very simple but creates a dramatic effect. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how I did it.
Adding functional shutters to the exterior of your home is an excellent way to increase curb appeal! It’s also very doable as a DIY. In this article, I’m going to show you exactly how I built and installed them on the house we are renovating.
Henry and I were so excited to do this art gallery wall project! We had a pretty large-sized 14×10 foot wall in our home office that was a blank slate. For the longest time, we weren’t quite sure what to do with it. Then we finally decided that a gallery wall would be the best option! Our home office is a dark and moody color. So we chose a light wood frame that would create some contrast against the walls and tie in with the other wood elements in the room.
