A few months ago I began making my home a little smarter every month. Since it's about to receive its master's in technology, today I'd like to share some of the best smart home devices I've installed thus far.

We've hit the ground running with the modern fireplace makeover, but I want to focus a bit on custom fireplace design and what to expect when dealing with a stone fabricator.

Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, everyth[...]
We are going strong here in renovation land, and I gotta say, install day is quickly becoming the Kyla's really happy day.
