I firmly believe that if your environment works for you and your family, it translates into a better life.

Spaces I love to do - the uglier the better - tend to be really old, dated basements - especially from the '60s to the '80s. I love those.

Why do guests always end up in the kitchen at parties? Is it a social phenomenon? Some strange gravitational pull? I don't know, but one thing is for sure: If your friends are going to congregate in your kitchen, you'd better make it as nice as possible.

Live a life of grace. You'll be a better person for it, and so will your children.

Today's kitchen is all about a well-planned space that makes cooking a completely interactive experience among family and friends.

It's great to design a beautiful, modern, sleek home like you'd see in a magazine. But if it doesn't suit your lifestyle, it's really wasted.
