Tired of chilly, clinical grays? We’re heading back to colors that make a house feel like a home. Learn how to layer mossy greens, riverbank clays, and harvest ochres with your natural wood finishes for a look that’s pure Wisconsin.

Every year, when we open nominations for our Valentine’s Sweetheart Giveaway, we expect beautiful stories.

The stories we received this year stopped us in our tracks. Stories of farmers who work nineteen-hour days and still tuck their kids in at night. Of couples celebrating fifty years of choosing each other, every single day. Of neighbors, parents, and community servants who give quietly and endlessly; never asking for anything in return.

Stop falling for the 'showroom look' that falls apart in three years. Learn how to identify true furniture quality, from solid wood construction to professional upholstery, and why investing in professional design is the smartest way to build a home that lasts for generations.
