Interior designer Arianne Bellizaire shares how to layout a kitchen from the soft-close cabinets to the high-end appliances to optimize the space for a home chef.
“When someone walks into your house and thinks about whether they want to buy it, they're going to look at the kitchen first,” Bellizaire says. “And if the kitchen doesn't wow them and they think they've got to do work on it, guess what?

Business in April “fell off the cliff” for WindowWorld’s 220 franchises in 48 states, recalls Steve Kamody, president of the North Carolina-based company. But, he adds business bounced back for many franchises in the first two weeks of May, thanks in part to strategic marketing that promoted virtual consultations.
