This month Better Homes and Gardens published both articles that they requested me to write for their website.

One of the articles was based on a homeowners question about current trends in kitchen remodeling.

The second article was based on another homeowners question about the dangers of lead paint in her home, and how to deal with it.
You can follow the links above to see the articles or the links below to read them on my site.
Kitchen Trends or Tips for safely dealing with Lead Paint.
 
 
I've posted my latest answer to the Better Homes and Gardens FAQ feature. My answer will be featured nationally soon, but you can see it now.

The question was posted by a homeowner that was ready to remodel her kitchen. She said that before she started to plan she wanted to know what the latest trends were including what was hot, innovative and fun in kitchen remodeling.

Not knowing how much she might know about planning a kitchen, I gave her a broad design overview along with numerous tips on making her new kitchen more personalized.

I came across this unique source for everything stainless steel. They do everything from these custom designed kitchen cabinet doors to full sets of cabinetry for inside or out.

ThinkGlass by Mailhot makes a glass countertop that is the current rage in countertops.  This material is 100 percent recyclable glass.  They come in 7 colors, 10 textures, 3 sizes in thicknesses, and 3 edge treatments.  You could even add LED lights to personalize your own design. The creative possibilities are endless.  Take a look at here to see a gallery of these beautiful countertops.

The glass is virtually maintenance free. Its non-porous surface makes it impossible to stain and can endure high heat without cracking or scorching.  It also is naturally resistant to scratching and its textured finish hides fingerprints.

The high-end look separates this countertop from the popular choices you see today.  ThinkGlass is a creative and beautiful way to add a unique design in your kitchen or bathroom remodel.  You can appreciate how no other kitchen or bathroom will look quite like yours after designing your own countertop with ThinkGlass.
