Last fall, one home in South Central Kentucky’s 2024 Parade of Homes swept every awards category — including a brand new one, Best Interior Design. Built by Caudill Design and Construction, the home is situated in Olde Stone, a serene, gated golf course community in Bowling Green, KY. Interior design firm Embellish Home designed, furnished and decorated the property, with a focus on blending indoor and outdoor living.

Over a hundred years ago, Steepleton was founded to sell billiard tables for home and commercial use. Over time, the business has expanded and added many different home entertainment and outdoor living product lines, including Infratech. Steepleton prides itself on high product standards and lasting value — and so do we. In our discussion, we spoke with the company about how Infratech fits into their quality range of products and why outdoor living matters to their customers.

Most people don’t think of Oklahoma as an outdoor entertaining hub for the holidays. They haven’t visited Sarah McGill’s home. An Infratech heating system enabled Sarah and her family to enjoy their outdoor living space all year round, welcoming family and friends for game days, holidays and hangouts. The heaters’ flush mount installation enables them to blend seamlessly into the ceiling treatment, for a contemporary look that complements Sarah’s cozy seasonal style.

DIYer Nicole has been sharing her home remodel story — and it’s exciting to see it come along, room by room. This holiday season, she’s transformed her outdoor entertaining space into an all-seasons haven where she can host guests or simply enjoy a morning cup of coffee in comfort. To complete the project, she selected three CD-Series heaters with Motif Mediterranean decorative fascias and a Universal Control Panel, for hands-free convenience in any season.
