Spring is here! Dress up your porches and patios

Springtime always puts us in good spirits. The sun comes out (well, sometimes - we are in Seattle after all) and our favorite trees and shrubs begin to transform from bare twigs to green-leafed and flowering things of beauty. What do we also love about spring? All the fabulous new spring and summer product, including these planters from CB2 - a modern shape in cottage-friendly corrugated steel.

Get inspired: A Modern Cottage transformation

This 1989-built home was well overdue for a makeover. With dated cabinets, counters, and appliances, this kitchen was just plain ugly.

Who knew? A top-to-bottom makeover completely transforms this space, creating a bold and refreshing kitchen. Sleek, commercial-style appliances, understated, natural stone counters, and classic shaker cabinets in crisp white take this kitchen to a whole different level. Clean, uncluttered perfection.
