Vertical Stair Railing is SO Last Year

You've been in a dozen two story and split level homes and you likely don't even remember what the stairs looked like, or if you do recall, they very likely had a builder grade honey oak bannister with matching honey oak spindles. So basic it may as well be wearing leggings with Ugg's.

Those are the stairs of yesteryear. Today's stairs are modern, sculptural, and anything but basic. These cool, contemporary designs accommodate everyone's design aesthetic.

Ultra modern stairs for the ultra modern minimalist.

This clear view gives perfect modern loft vibes.

Pickup sticks; like vertical spindles, but not quite.

For the naturalists: bringing elements and colors of nature inside.

Bringing modernized elements of farmhouse style into the home is very on-trend

right now, and these staircases are no exception!

Large wooden posts like the kind you might find fencing in a pasture are

what make the farmhouse feel in these staircase designs.

Simple horizontal slats that deviate from the norm make a big impact!

For the transitional traditionalist: traditional spindles turned on their side,

made from non-traditional materials like wire and iron.

Beauty in simplicity.

This staircase offers a great juxtaposition of metal and wood elements.

Industrial chic brings hard metal and pipes into the home and on display.

For the artists: sculptural stair designs to satiate your inner architect.

This artistic design has a natural feel, almost like honeycomb.

This spiral staircase has a natural airy loft feel.

Tips for Gardens Great and Small

Tips for Gardens Great and Small Like the fabled “Victory Gardens” of WWII before them, urban and backyard vegetable gardens became a vital source of food and purpose for many people last year when world events threw supply chains into disarray. A year has passed, but interest in do-it-yourself food production has remained, and more and more DIYer's are getting into growing their own crops. Your ability to grow fruits, vegetables and a variety of herbs at home depends primarily on just three things: climate zone, space available and your level of commitment. With plenty of warm days ahead, it's not too late to get started on a garden of your own. If you're limited to an indoor garden, consider hearty options like avocados, carrots, microgreens, lemons and scallions. You'll need some large, south-facing windows to have a successful garden. If that's not an option, grow lights and hydroponic kits have become a popular option in recent years as they've become mor...

For Builders and Buyers, Lumber is a Bummer

For Builders and Buyers, Lumber is a Bummer Over the past several years we’ve seen real estate prices climb higher and higher due to a limited supply and an increased demand, but a new factor is pushing prices up even further: the skyrocketing price of building materials. So, what’s behind these increased prices, and, more importantly, when can we expect some relief?
