And... cents.

Sad About the Stock Market?
Replacement Windows are a Better Investment
File this under, "We didn't see that coming." A national trades publication crunched the numbers and the data's in: Replacement windows consistently outperform the stock market for return on investment. The researchers looked at a variety of variables, like reduced energy costs. All in all, the Hanley Wood Cost Vs. Value study showed that replacement windows return over 65 percent of their initial cost in the increased value to the home. Now that's a smart investment!

When it comes to small rooms, it's time to think big.

Using decorative tiles on floors and walls, wallpaper and beautiful pops of color on the cabinetry, Diaz and her team created a gorgeous space for one of life's most pressing chores.

Wall & Cabinet Beds are the Future
What goes up every morning, down every night - and comes in sizes twin through king? If you said a wall bed - often referred to as Murphy Beds - you'd be right. These space-saving creations are skyrocketing in popularity as homeowners and renters alike work to utilize their interior spaces in new ways.
"Now that so many people are still working from home, carving out office space has become essential," says A Royal Suite Home Furnishings owner Norb Moniz. "We're seeing bedrooms become offices quite frequently. Customers are really enjoying our new designs that combine desk and storage space with a bed that can be pulled down when needed - without disrupting any of the contents on top of the desk."
Also popular - cabinet beds. These "no installation needed" designs look like a gorgeous piece of furniture - and often function as one, too, with convenient drawer space. But open it up and you'll discover a bed that quickly unfolds into a cozy and comfortable place to sleep. Especially popular in nurseries - parents particularly enjoy the option of bunking in with their small children when the need calls - these cabinet beds are available in every design aesthetic for every room in the house. From modern to traditional, French country to transitional, you'll find a style that coordinates perfectly with your space.
