They use an extra bedroom, den, or bonus room and outfit it to make their beloved pet feel like a king. They equip the room with a nice dog bed, comfortable dog-size furniture, a dressing table, dog toys, a feeding station, and often a dog shower and grooming station.

Spring is in the air. It’s time for a little spring cleaning to set the stage for summer. This is the perfect time to spruce up the landscaping. Here is a list to get you started.

Have you been thinking about moving up to a more luxurious home? Have you been watching the luxury home market wonder if now might be the time to buy? Let’s take a look at the luxury home market.

When the housing market crashed in 2008, all home values suffered, even the luxury home market. Since then, the housing market has been slowly recovering.
