    Each year, artists, museum and gallery curators, collectors and no shortage of millionaires flock to three major art shows around the world that are collectively known as Art Basel. This is something like the Woodstock of the art world, so there’s a lot of pretension and overall silliness to the exhibition. Not to pooh-pooh Art Basel, we’re sure it’s a grand time, but for a more ...

    Don’t skimp on staging

    You’ve lived in your house for years, maybe even decades. You’ve loved it, you've maintained it, upgraded where you saw fit and now it’s time to sell.

    Home of the Week | Rustic & Dreamy

    How pretty is the façade of this home? It looks like something out of a movie, doesn’t it? The porch, the landscaping, the colors… I love it all! I’ll do my best to avoid “photo overload” but this home is so unique! It took me a minute to figure out where this room is located, but it’s a mudroom right off the kitchen.

    Should you build a playground?

    If your children were writing this blog, they would tell you that you should build a playground in your yard.  The worry many parents have is that after months, maybe years, of begging and pleading for a playground, your kids will be tired of it within weeks of having one. What's more, from a homeowner's perspective, the question many have is, "When I go to sell, will ...

    There’s no need to mince words: Outdoor sheds are fantastic. They serve a completely practical purpose, allowing you to conveniently store tools, lawn equipment, flower pots, toys and whatever else you might need to put in there.

    It's always fun to view homes that inspire you- this house is one of them. Enjoy the view! Clean, gray walls, simple accents and beautifully decorated. The family/tv room opens up to the spacious kitchen. I love all the natural light and the neat accents above the entryway to the kitchen.  Simple and elegant.  The dark wood accents the ...

    What to do about trees

    Way back in the 1980s, the legendary Mr. T moved to an old, genteel, upper-class neighborhood outside of his hometown of Chicago. What he did next horrified the city's residents. The tough, mohawk-styling celebrity cut down more than 100 oak trees on his estate, an event residents came to call “The Lake Forest Chain Saw Massacre.” Apart from Mr. T and a few other people, who ...
