Once I began work with the living room colors, I believed that by simply painting the walls with white paint, the room would be considered modern instantly. Instead, it felt flat and unfinished, like something was missing. It was at that point that I realized the secret to it all: it isn’t simply selecting one…
When I first pictured a backyard Jacuzzi, I thought it belonged only in sprawling gardens with stone patios and infinity pools. My small yard felt too ordinary, too tight to pull off that kind of luxury. But when I started looking at smart designs, I realized the truth: Jacuzzis can be styled to fit beautifully…
I’ll never forget the first time I stepped into a gothic-styled room.
