1. Leisure Room- Many homeowners want a sunroom so they can use it as a breakfast/sitting area. These rooms are the perfect space for drinking your morning coffee and reading the paper. Specially designed to include cable and electrical outlets, homeowners can enjoy a quiet place to read, watch TV, or just enjoy the scenery.
2. Guest Room- More and more, families are looking for a convenient yet attractive way to accommodate overnight guests. Instead of putting your family and friends in a cramped office or in the middle of the living room, a sunroom can double as a leisure room during the day and easily be converted into a comfortable guest bedroom at night with the use of a day bed. You will find this a welcome alternative to adding a conventional, single purpose bedroom to your home.
A Conservatory is really just another, wonderful class of Sunroom.
Other names used for Conservatories include: Orangerie, Solarium, Green house, Atrium, Garden Room, Patio Room, and more.
A well-designed, high quality conservatory or sunroom will quickly become the most used room in your home.
As with any addition to your home, you should absolutely seek out the help and advice of an excellent contractor, designer and/or architect to help you decide what styles and materials will best compliment your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Installing exterior vinyl window shutters is usually a simple, straightforward task when installing on wood or siding. However, if you are installing plastic shutters on a brick surface, some things need to be taken into consideration.
First of all, some bricks are reinforced with metal. This makes it an extremely difficult task to drill through the brick. I tried this once and it took me all day just to mount 3 pairs of shutters because I had to continually switch back and fourth between a masonry drill bit and a steel drill bit.
So, you’ve been going crazy trying to decide how to decorate your kitchen backsplash. What materials should you use for your backsplash? Should you use tile or marble, glass or copper? What would look best, as well as be functional?
Here’s a unique idea!

Well, with technology headed to where we will soon be embedding nano-bots and A.I. into our bodies, it isn’t a surprise that we can ‘embed’ ourselves into a technologically advanced bed.
Hi-Can [view site], the self proclaimed ‘revolutionary bed’, the ‘Ferrari of beds’, has some very unique features.
This is a very cool video of an expanding dining room table, that easily seats (what looks like) 8 people when closed, to about 20 people when open. It is easily opened by one person, with the simple latch, then a twist if the tabletop, and it magically unfolds in a series of geometically symetrical peices that all fit together in various positions.
Well I just went through the fun and sometimes intimidating process of picking interior paint colors for my new home. I love color and I have been a graphic designer for years so I enjoying working with color.
When I started with the task of picking colors for my new house, I knew I wanted color. So first I started with a theme . I live in Southern California near the ocean and have chosen Beach-y - Tropical with a modern twist as my theme.
Second, I used things I collect for inspiration. I collect the vintage jadeite dishes that Martha Stewart has made so popular. So naturally when I discovered that Martha Stewart had a paint color called Jadeite I knew that would be one of my colors.
As you start your new projects or dream of completing current ones, think green! Making conscious decisions to use environmentally friendly products is easier than you might think and actually saves you money, and more important, our planet.
Here at Project Kraemer Lane we’re thinking green as part of our whole house renovation. Something as simple as a changing light bulb can make a huge impact. We’ve recently begun using Energy Star compact fluorescent light bulbs which last up to 10 times longer and use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs. Imagine this: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, if every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, save more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
Here you will find customer photos of installed kitchen backsplashes and tile murals. Hopefully this will give you some ideas for your own kitchen backsplash.
