Best Nursery Colors For Baby Development

Posted on July 15, 2019 by

Back in the day the color for nurseries was pretty standard with pink, blue, yellow or green when technology didn’t allow us to know the gender of our love bundle. Today, we do have the means to know the sex of our baby yet the color trends are very, how should I say, neutral.

Let Color Rule Your Room

Posted on June 9, 2019 by

Ok color, do your thing! Lol, seriously though, why don’t we let color make a statement in the room instead of the decor for a change? Sure the two work together but since your wall space is the biggest part of your room, let it rule!

If you Google “Colors That Go With Sea Salt” then click on IMAGES you’ll see just about every single image that looks the same – and it’s the same look over and over again much like several variations of the same color. I say let’s change it up!

Selling or Updating Your Home? This Hottest Flooring Trend Will Be the Dealbreaker

Posted on May 15, 2019 by

I am currently putting in new flooring in my home. So many homeowners are gravitating towards the vinyl planking. It looks like wood, is waterproof, goes right over existing tile or wood and is great if you have pets. I’m watching the homes on my block that are for sale that have 12×12 tile in the kitchen and standard Gunstock engineered wood in the LR with some carpet and guess what? It’s not selling! The home across the street who put in GORGEOUS vinyl planks throughout – sold in a NY second. Everyone things that wood is the best but it’s not! Since most homeowners have dogs, it scratches and is a BIG problem if fido has an accident. Vinyl plank flooring – the flooring to have in the home and I can’t wait to get mine next week!
