  • Iron Balusters: When Form Follows Function  By : Shawn Capell
    Well-made banisters and railings are a requirement for safety if you have an exposed stairway, but they don’t have to be purely functional. Why not dress up the space with lacy, elegant iron balusters?

  • Coordinate Floor Lamps With Other Light Fixtures  By : Bruce Channers
    Light fixtures are the forgotten children in the interior design world. Wherever possible, homeowners will significantly cut back on the light fixture budget in favor of spending more on a throw rug or something.
