This Week on Houzz

Our Kitchen of the Week features a warm white-and-wood space created for empty nesters who had waited years to remodel. See how their designer improved the layout and gave them the rustic touches they wanted. Then take a peek at five new living rooms to relax in.

Also, read an essay about fathers and home, and share your own memories. Celebrate the start of summer with an appreciation of the changing garden. Read how a designer found on Houzz helped a father and son create a home just right for them. And find out why you should tell your designer your real budget.
