                      This interior fireplace opens on three sides to let everyone, including the cook, enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the fire.

On a cold winter’s day light can be like a healing balm to the body and mind. Windows placed in strategic places can capture the changing pattern of the sun’s rays throughout the day. Pella makes choosing energy-efficient windows easy by offering a variety of sizes and shapes to enhance any room. Photos courtesy of Pella®Windows and Doors.

After 22 years and over 400 home remodeling projects Hank Wall, president of Wood Wise Design & Remodeling, has accumulated much wisdom and insight about homes and people. He hopes to share with others what he has learned on his new blog. In his first posting he gives ways we can change our home environment that will uplift us and more truly reflect who we are now. Check out what Hank has to say at: http://homehank.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/the-walls-of-your-home/

  What could be better than to spend a cold winter evening in front of the fireplace? Watching the flickering flames can be mesmerizing and help put the cares of the day behind us. So who could imagine that something so inviting and comforting could possibly be dangerous for our health?

Helping the community has always been at the heart of Wood Wise Design & Remodeling. This season we have made donations to Neighbor2Neighbor, WakeUpWakeCounty, YMCA, Yestermorrow School, Urban Ministries, and more. Along with this, Wood Wise president Hank Wall has volunteered his time again this year with the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign. Hank’s observation while ringing the bell: those who appear to have the least seem the most eager to give.  

Choosing River White granite over marble offers durability and beauty.               The graceful curves of the Palladia style glass cabinet doors by Kraftmaid add elegance. The mother of pearl backsplash above the stove with white ceramic subway tile provides the “wow” factor.
