A Visit to the Kohler Design Center – Kohler, WI

  The Kohler Design Center For three days last week I escaped the Southern California heat and experienced true fall – crisp temperatures ranging from 40-50 degrees, changing leaves and plenty of mums.  I was invited by Kohler Co. to their Wisconsin headquarters for their inaugural Kohler Bloggers Conference, where 21 Design, DIY and Lifestyle Bloggers gathered for 2.5 days.  During my time at Kohler, I experienced several facets of the Kohler “empire” which included  staying at Kohler’s own 5 Star and AAA 5-Diamond rated American Club Resort , spending an afternoon at the Kohler Waters Spa, and fine dining at several of their award winning restaurants.  Oh, and I can’t forget nibbling on  devouring the Kohler chocolates that were left in my room.

Today, I am covering the next thing in wood paneling -  smart alternatives to wood paneling. Installing wood paneling not only can be quite a significant investment, but it can also be a big disruption in the home.  It is also quite permanent, which is why many homes today still have the wood paneling of the 70s still installed in their homes. If you've spent the time and money, you're going to keep...

Most designers leave estimating wallpaper quantity to their paper hanger, but it's not as difficult to do as you might think! With a little practice, you can do it yourself. I'm Caroline, I work with Jeanne here at Cozy Stylish Chic, and before I came to work at CSC, I spent the last five years selling designer wallpaper!

Ignore all doors, windows, or other obstacles unless they stretch completely from ceiling to floor. If multiple walls are connected to each other, you can co...
