I came across this article by written by Peggy Wang on the BuzzFeed Staff and I must admit…its’ really ‘cool!’ She lists 43 unique and ‘Cool’ remodeling ideas. It’s a great, fun article with quite a few really custom and useful interior and exterior designs. Some are really ‘out of the box’ thinking compared to traditional remodeling options.
Here are a group Peggy’s ideas I felt were standouts: 
6. Display your book collection under the stairs or even add a ‘wine cellar style’ wine cabinet under the stairs
11. Make space for two dishwashers instead of one
16. Maximize your space with baseboard drawers
17. Consider building a hidden room
18. Make some of your walls magnetic.
20. Add a multi-directional steam shower
24. Put a ‘bar’ rail on your deck for extra outdoor eating room
31. Add recessed hallway or basement lights along the baseboards
42. Cut out ‘overlooks’ for your second story
Again, just a really fun read. Some of these ideas left me scratching my head because – they really make sense! How could we not be doing these?
