5 Simple, Pretty Cool Ways to Customize Your Home

1. Nest

Change your air temp from your smartphone, while lying in bed! Too cold on winter mornings, no problem. Just turn it up and wait under the covers til it's warm enough. Programmable, learning and remotely controlled...and it looks cool.

2. Barn Doors 

Turn an opening into a beautiful and functional room centerpiece. Add a little privacy when needed.  All shapes and sizes and easily retrofitted. Inside or even in the kids backyard playhouse. (You did build them a playhouse right?)

3. Keypad Entry Locks 


 No need for keys. Walking the kids and the dog and don't want to bring your keys, or want to let mom in to dog sit while you're out of town, no biggie. Love these things.

4. Remote Control Ceiling Fans 

Ok so maybe not so custom looking but awesome when you can turn the fan off/on or down a little when you wake up in the middle of the night in need of an urgent temperature adjustment to get you right back to sleep. Ours has light dimming features too. We use ours just about every night. When I say we, I mean my wife.

5. Dimmers 

 I know I just mentioned this kinda but if you don't have all your living room, basement, TV room, bathroom and bedroom lights on dimmers - you are missing out! It's nice to be able to dim the lights while watching TV or when winding the kids down before bed. Also helps when not blinding yourself when you have to run to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

6. Soft Closers 


I know I said 5 but what the heck. On your cabinetry doors and drawers and even on your toilet seat. Something you'll notice every day when your doors quietly and softly close. Feels so regal!
