How To Raise a Puppy

It had been a long time since I had lived with a puppy. Our previous dog, Tika, had been two years old when we got her. But, hey, I was an experienced dog owner. How tough could a puppy be? I’m here to tell you, raising a puppy is nearly as much work as raising a toddler. Just like with small children, you always need to be on guard, the formative years are crucial, and accidents happen. Often.

Outdoor Kitchen

It’s unfortunate for the cook, however, that much of this cherished time is spent indoors, preparing food and cooking (even with grilling) away from the sun and fun and conversation. What is the solution to this dilemma? It’s the outdoor kitchen!

We Fell In Love With A Fawn

Banquette Seating

Comfortable seating at a table is commonly requested in my kitchen re-design projects. Families desire a space to gather for meals, play games, do homework, and just hang out. All too often, however, the space available is too small to adequately accommodate a table and chairs, and yet that does not stop people from trying to squeeze a table set into this limited space. When this happens, the table barely functions for the family (forget comfort!), the chairs are constantly shifted to allow access and the ill-fitting table becomes a more likely gathering space for clutter than family members.
