We’ve talked about energy audits before here at C&H–they’re a great option if you want to gauge your home’s energy efficiency. Audits also provide an ideal starting point if you’re planning on making your abode more eco-friendly.

Energy audits focus on a few main areas, including air leaks, heating and cooling systems, insulation and lighting, to make sure each system is working properly without wasting resources. An audit will pinpoint areas that can be improved, giving you a great framework from which to plan your next few projects.

And once you make some of the suggested fixes from the energy audit, you’ll likely notice a decrease in your energy bills — and that means more money in your pocket!

We were thrilled when, Company C Dealer, Spirit Interior Design & Gallery incorporated Company C into their latest project, a Lake Tahoe getaway. They also shared some beautiful before and after photos with us!

In designer Lindsey Guinther’s own words:

The original design objective was to create a playful and fun aesthetic for the Wood Family’s Lake Tahoe weekend getaway.  The Wood’s are an active family with three small children involved in local ski racing and golf. To accommodate, the space needed to be extremely functional and durable.  The design began with a redesign of the laundry room and kitchen. The relationship of these two areas were fundamental to the overall design. We opened up the windows and designed a large opening from one room to the next to allow for light to flood through the painted red glass doors. With re

In todays TrendHome we are featuring a private residence located in a historic building on one of Amsterdams famous canals, designed by UXUS. The home is located in a 250 m2 18th century warehouse with a panoramic view over the city. The owners wanted to keep the original open plan layout of the space, so UXUS created a series of dramatic curtain walls

that can be opened and closed according to the needs of use.

A lot of prospective home remodeling customers are worried that they will not be able to afford their project. Here are 5 tips for helping work with your budget when it’s time for your remodel:

-buying materials yourself. See exactly what you want at some discount store? Grab it! While your contractor most often can get better prices (due to larger purchase volume), sometimes you really see a deal that is unbeatable. Just make sure you check with your contractor to make sure the product will work for what you were planning.

-painting. Got a free weekend? Why not get the family together to paint that new addition. Most contractors will leave drywall finished and ready to be painted. This is an easy thing to do if you have the time.

-keep existing cabinets, countertops, etc. Are your cabinets in need of some minor work? C
