It's starting to look and feel like spring, and that is certainly a relief after a Niagara winter. Soon, we will be enjoying the sun, green grass, and blooming flowers.

With spring hopefully right around the corner, people are getting new ideas for upgrading their homes. From additions or outbuildings to renovating your existing living space, each project that you complete takes you one-step closer to having your dream home. So how do you get from an idea to the finished project? Here are a few things to consider in order to help you on your way to having your own dream home.

While most would agree that a well-designed home will keep hallway space to a minimum, it is important to understand that hallways are often a necessary space that are simply under-utilized.

So often, the space beneath a staircase is under-utilized or inefficiently used. This somewhat triangular space is often left open to an unfinished portion of a basement or furnace room, or closed off with a single door because no one seems to really understand the value in the space. One long closet directly under the staircase with the entrance at the far end means that a portion of this space is rarely accessible, simply by proximity to the door.
