Ikea Kitchens

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love this Ikea kitchen <a href="http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7bky/ikea-welcome-home" target="_blank">commercial</a> where the son comes home to find his parents have taken space from his old bedroom to make a bigger kitchen.  The commercial is hilarious, especially when the son notices his room is basically non existent.  What you can't help but notice is how beautiful the kitchen is.  The large kitchen boasts gray cabinets with a built in eating nook.  It is absolutely stunning.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Flip or Flop

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of my favorite shows on HGTV is <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/flip-or-flop/show/index.html" target="_blank">Flip or Flop</a>.  It centers around a husband and wife team, Tarek and Christina, that flips houses.  They buy vacant, run down homes, usually at auctions sight unseen, and renovate them into beautiful homes.  Each episode takes you from the purchase of the home, through renovations, and finally to the finished, remodeled product.  They have built a successful business by flipping houses.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My husband and I have talked about flipping homes for a few years now.  Tarek and Christina have created a Flip Advantage team and they are traveling across the US to teach workshops about house flipping and making money in real estate.  I have signed us up for a workshop this weekend.  I am so excited to learn more about this side of real estate!  House flipping is a way we can both work together and start our own business doing what we like to do.  With my new found love of design, I get giddy over seeing transformed spaces.  What better way to get our hands dirty and make spaces prettier than house flipping?  Real Estate has always interested me too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
