Wine & Dine

Our kitchens aren't just about where we eat. They are also the places we entertain. For most families they form the hub of the house. Usually this involves kids rotating in and out and making dinner after a long day of work. Or hurriedly preparing breakfast as you run out the door.

But sometimes we want something different. Sometimes we just want to relax and enjoy what we have. We want to bring friends into our homes. And entertain them.

And yes, to show off just a bit.

One of the easiest ways to combine these two is by taking a walk-in closet and remodeling it. Adding a few simple cabinets turns a cluttered pantry into an elegant showroom for your wines. This works if you're storing a $400 bottle of Chateau Margaux 1995 or a $10 bottle of White Zinfandel.

These simple additions can transform your kitchen into a place you want to spend all your time!

(And yes, that really is a collection of "Marilyn Merlot" wine bottles)

Neat Features in Life

We’ve all experienced it.  That sense of recognition.  A feeling of awe.  And yes, a bit of “I want that too!”

It’s what happens when we see something unique.  Something interesting. 

A Neat Feature if you will.

And that’s what this website is all about.  It’s a place to explore Neat Features.  Whether they are houses, mailboxes, kitchens, or anything else that you can imagine.  If it’s a neat feature of a living space, then that’s what we are about. 

So we hope that you will join us in pointing out the Neat Features in your life.
