Renovations For Pet Owners

Renovation

Renovations For Pet Owners – Wouldn’t it be great to have a dedicated dog washing station in your home? I dreamed of my own dog wash at home for years! My dreams came true this year when I renovated an old enclosed porch to create a mud room, powder room and homemade dog wash station.

Since more than half of Americans own dogs, a home dog washing station will add value to any renovation and is an easy addition to a bathroom. 

Renovations For Pet Owners

A built-in dog washing station at home has made my life with two labradors better than ever because it’s so easy to wash them after an adventure. Knowing that it’s so easy to clean whatever the weather, now I don’t hesitate to go on muddy walks or walks in the pouring rain. Labs don’t care if it rains!

Electrical Work

Benefits Of Electrical System Upgrades – Sometimes the most important and important part of how a business runs is taken for granted. Take your WiFi, for example. You probably rely heavily on Wi-Fi and Internet access, but you don’t waste time thinking about it… unless there’s a problem, that is.

Electrical panels are essential for the operation, protection and operation of many commercial and industrial applications. However, many business owners and industries have installed one and then don’t think about it again unless there is a problem.

Benefits Of Electrical System Upgrades

In our humble opinion, this is a mistake. Panels should always be inspected by an electrical expert, perform performance evaluations, and verify that the technology is safe and up-to-date.

Mid-century Modern Interiors

Interior Design

Mid-century Modern Interiors – Design is always cyclical. Styles that have survived are resurrected in new ways. And while mid-century modern design isn’t the only lifestyle to experience a renaissance, it certainly has done so with unmatched staying power. The modern aesthetic is defined by clean lines, organic forms, an understated approach, and high functionality (think design icons like Florence Knoll, Herman Miller, and Arne Jacobson). It was popularized in the 1940s and, after a second wave of interest in the late 90s, has yet to leave the mainstream scene – much to the dismay of many designers.

In fact, a debate about the appropriateness of medieval design has been brewing among designers for decades. Some insist that if we don’t do it ourselves, we should go with it, while many testify to its uncircumcision. “We wouldn’t call it a mid-century modern style, but a design era,” says Piotr Paradowski, … Read the rest
