We have plenty of storage issues at our house so I’m always on the lookout for great ways to store stuff. One of our biggest storage issues is outside the house. The lawn mower, snow blower, bikes, sporting equipment, all the lawn and garden items, patio cushions…it’s overwhelming. A one-car garage and a tiny garden shed just doesn’t cut it for all our outdoor tools and toys.
The best way to improve the feel of your home–AND your mood–is to add more sunlight. Installing additional windows or even a sunroom would be fabulous. But, you might be surprised how simply replacing an old door with a full-view glass door or French door can change the vibe of your house–bringing in sunshine, even on the coldest days.

Wires and cables drive me crazy so the Sonos HiFi wireless audio system is one of my new faves. The plug and play components bring together your digital music in a single app that you can control from your smart phone, tablet or computer.

This is it…Day #1 of Love Equity. But what is Love Equity? It’s the tangible and intangible value you add to your home and life when you incorporate the things you love. It’s about projects. It’s about inspiration. It’s about being happy where you’re at. What can you expect to find here? I love kitchens (who doesn’t?) so you’ll see lots of posts in the kitchen. Some large-scale renovations–with smaller takeaway ideas, quick updates like countertops and backsplashes, small accessory type projects for all over the house, storage ideas, great living spaces, exterior projects, do-it-yourself tips, sweet products…you get the idea. Like a renovation/lifestyle magazine with cool ideas and photos, but it’s free.
Today, I’m kicking it off with my favorite recent project–my sister Sharon’s kitchen renovation. It was a big project in a small space. But it’s not just about pretty finishes. It incorporates lots of great space maximizing ideas that make a small kitchen and house–live large! Check it out.
