This isn't for the messy or the faint of heart, but what better inspiration to clean out your cabinets and keep your kitchen tidy than open shelving???

We aspire to be women who arrange their kitchen shelves as though curating an upscale cookware gallery. In reality, we thank our lucky stars every day for the cabinet doors concealing our mismatched Tupperware collection. Which is why we’re cautiously enamored by the kitchen design darling of 2019: Single open shelving.

That’s right, many the buzziest kitchens right now have one thing in common: One airy, minimalist ledge in place of traditional cabinetry.

On the one hand, Hello gorgeous. On the other, Really though, where do I put my mixing bowls? Whether you’re team pro or con (or torn),…

“Choices, choices, choices! Buyers should be doing a happy dance because they finally have some choices,” said Jill Schafer, Chair of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and Metro Denver REALTOR®. “Even though the Denver metro area is still a seller’s market in most price ranges, there’s no doubt this is the best…

As a whole, the national housing market is in a period of transition—but that doesn't mean every city is experiencing it the same way.

According to a forecast recently released by Veros, appreciation, on average, is expected to be 3.9 percent in the 100 largest markets this year—but there are areas bucking the trend, and clear patterns where prices are on the rise.

Case in point? Idaho. From Boise to Idaho Falls, home prices are projected to spring up 8 percent or more for the year. Jump one state over to Washington, and prices are projected to sprout there, too. (Hint: It's not Seattle!)

  3. Midland, Texas…
