GE Washer / Dryer
I loved this new GE washer/dryer. It has a very clean (no pun intended, I promise) look. The controls are simple and you don’t need a manual to operate this pair. I always get frustrated when they offer so many options I feel like I need to be a laundry expert just to get clean…
New fans by NuTone
I am kind of a noise nut, and always looking for quieter solutions. I was thrilled to find these new bath ventilation fans by NUTONE. Literally whisper quiet, they have to include a small light on the switch so you can tell it is on. I am going to have all of mine changed out.…

Hot Picks in the Bath
While most of the major bath fixture vendors were on hand, Moen was a favorite pick for me with their architectural lines, sculptured good looks, and comfortable function.

Next was the coolest microwave drawer I’ve ever seen, and wish I had seen before I remodeled my kitchen this last summer. It has…
The Ultimate Fireplace
They call it the fireplace alternative, but I call it The Ultimate Fireplace! This is too cool, and at the same time, incredibly hot. A fireplace with a waterfall at the front of it. Who could have imagined? Well, Jerry Wheeler, the creator and inventor did and what an amazing concept. Yes, it has been…
Windows on the World
Well it may not be new this year, but it was new to me! Skylights for years have gotten a bad wrap with leaking and a host of other issues. I remember when we had them in the guest house in Connecticut and every storm brought new leaks. But no more! Velux has solved this…
Architectural Features
I know it looks like any old column but it isn’t. All of Curb Appeal Products are manufactured from PVC not wood. They come semiassembled and snap together. Once painted they give a crisp, smooth finish that won’t rot or swell. Whether you want columns, newel posts, pilasters or access doors, Curb Appeal Products has…
Santa Fe, NM
Well, the holidays kind of got in the way of my sharing this amazing adventure with you! Santa Fe is truly magical. The quality of the light reflecting off the dusty red and gold mountains is unmatched anywhere. It has a diamond like brilliance without the glare, quite stunning and uplifting. Being affected with SAD…
