Your electrical bill can actually be one of the most expensive home bills because many homeowners are not aware of the small steps they can take to reduce the monthly expense. Currently, Americans spend $130 billion on energy alone per year.

A palette of four panel styles isn't the only design option for the Retro vanity. It can be configured as desired: for single or multiple sinks, with cupboards or drawer modules, at high or low heights. Perhaps the most curious choice is the leg treatment—long or stubby, the tapered supports can be installed singly or in eye-catching clusters. Designed by Toni Sabatino. badenhaus.it.

or maybe Lovely in Laminate? Countertops, cabinet fronts, backsplashes [those nasty little four-inch ones], and even the shelves in the greenhouse window of this late 1940s-era kitchen are all swathed in the stuff.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post by Mid-America Shutters. All opinions are strictly my own. The exterior design of our 1987 brick home has always looked very dated. With its cornflower blue wood shutters in which many were rotting and falling apart, our home was stuck in the 80’s! I was excited to pair with Mid-America Shutters to try out their vinyl shutters that would resist climatic changes, insects and moisture.
