Feather River Smart Glass Doors Full Lite Model

Feather River Smart Glass Doors Offer 4 Stylish, Energy-Efficient Upgrade Options with Hubspace Integration

At my former home in San Angelo, we had a lovely, glass-paned front door that made everything light and airy during daylight but lacked privacy after dark. We’d begun to avoid the front living room at night, so I added a privacy shade, but operating it was such a pain that we usually left it down. The Home Depot’s new Feather River Smart Glass Doors offer a better, more modern alternative. Pressing a button or giving a voice command to Alexa or Google Assistant switches the door’s glass from clear to opaque for the perfect balance of light and privacy.

BODEGA JC-85A Wine Cooler Review: Stylish, Compact, and Reliable Wine Storage

We weren’t always wine drinkers (much less collectors), but the hobby kind of snuck up on us. It started with a local vineyard membership and me bringing home random bottles of red from work trips. Eventually, Kev transitioned from homebrewing to making his own wine. We stored our growing collection in racks and cabinets, but the lack of proper temperature control was less than ideal. We knew it was time to step up our game and store our growing collection as it deserved, so when the opportunity came to review the BODEGA JC-85A Wine Cooler, I was happy to oblige.

Whynter ARC-1050XPH: A Smart Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, and Heater Combo for Year-Round Comfort

If you rent a space with unreliable (or nonexistent) central heat and air conditioning, you may have considered buying a portable air conditioner because, unlike window units, they are easier to take when your lease ends. Since many portable ACs don’t offer heating, you’d likely also have to invest in a separate space heater. Before going that route, you should check out the Whynter ARC-1050XPH; it’s an all-in-one solution designed to cool, dehumidify, and heat spaces up to 500 square feet. This unit packs a punch in a sleek, modern package that effortlessly blends into any room.
