Elsie: Good. Yeah, I like that this episode goes to be all about answering questions. Okay. So earlier than we bounce in, Emma simply took me into the world’s biggest storage closet. And I need her to let you know all about it as a result of it’s such a visit. And we did make a video, so hopefully we are able to submit the video as nicely. Okay, go forward.
Emma: So that you would possibly bear in mind in the beginning of the summer time, we have been speaking about summer time bucket lists. One factor on my summer time bucket record was that I wished to arrange my vacation closet, and the rationale was I wished to get all of it organized and put collectively earlier than the vacation season begins, which for me is like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, as a result of that’s what most of my decor that I’ve to retailer is for, as a result of I don’t have that a lot for Valentine’s or Easter or fourth July. I’ve a few issues, however probably not. Anyway, so I used to be wanting to try this this summer time whereas I attempt to discover a while, after which it was executed in order that when it comes time to embellish, it’s simply gonna be stress-free and enjoyable as a substitute of an enormous rat’s nest of rubbish that I’ve to kind by. So I did that and in my thoughts I used to be like, I can try this over the entire summer time. I’ll simply work on it an hour right here, an hour there as I’ve time. After which sooner or later I began to work on it over my lunch break ’trigger I used to be like, I’ll spend an hour on it. No huge deal. And as quickly as I began I used to be like, you idiot, you’ll be able to’t spend simply an hour ’trigger it like requires you to take all of the stuff out and form of put up some cabinets and I needed to hold a complete bunch of guitar hangers to place my skeletons on. Simply lots of drilling issues into the wall form of factor, after which placing all of it again. And lots of it’s like glass or breakable or simply stuff that’s like not secure for my son to be round, but when it was out, he would positively wanna play with it. So I used to be like, there’s no means I can go away these things out till tomorrow. So anyway, then it simply was like a five-hour marathon of like, I’ve gotta end this at present earlier than my son heard some stuff on all this breakable stuff. So I used guitar hangers to hold my assortment of 9 life-sized skeletons up on the partitions.
Elsie: They’re so cute hanging that means.
Emma: I like them. It seems to be so cute in there ’trigger they was once identical to a pile of skeletons within the basement. Yeah. And that was not cute, that was terrifying. And now I really feel such as you open the door and it’s like, nicely that is enjoyable. This feels wacky and in addition organized, and it’s good. I put up some cabinets which have like huge tupperware issues and many like wreaths and garlands and Christmas ornaments and all kinds of issues sitting on there. After which I additionally hung up some, they’re like hangers which you could put espresso mugs on ’trigger I’ve a group of Halloween mugs and a group of Christmas mugs, and so I’ve these hanging up. And I confirmed Elsie, I’ve like two additional cabinets I haven’t even hung but. In order that if I wanna purchase extra, I’ve extra space for storing. Then what was the opposite factor? Oh, I purchased it, this was random, nevertheless it labored nice. I purchased these large athletic ball nets. They’re form of for basketballs? That you simply use them at gyms to love to retailer a complete bunch of basketballs. You may carry the basketballs round or soccer balls, no matter. I put all my pretend pumpkins in there and I’ve 4 large athletic luggage of those pretend pumpkins and it labored nice and now they’re simply hanging up on the shelf.
Elsie: I assumed that was genius as a result of after we just lately moved, discovering one thing to place all my pumpkins in was an enormous drawback. And it does really feel such as you’re losing lots of house. Like in most storage luggage. In order that bag, simply the best way that it’s formatted and versatile, was excellent.
Emma: So the athletic luggage, they’re like a web as a result of I had these large reward luggage that I had them saved in earlier than, they usually simply acquired plenty of like spiders and bugs, as a result of they sit there all yr till you pull them out for Halloween. Like in a storage space, which is, you recognize, it’s not like I spray it with bug spray on a regular basis. It’s simply sitting there for months and months and months and months. So now that it’s in these like nets, it’s like, okay, nicely it’s not gonna, there might be a spider on it, nevertheless it’s not gonna be like within the backside of the bag, you recognize, form of scenario anyway, so it’s a lot better, basketball nets for the win.
Elsie: Yeah, nicely, it was cute. It made my day and it seemed so cute in there. And if I have been you, I might identical to go in there and like scent your candles.
Emma: I actually go in there at the least as soon as per week since I did it and I simply am like, Ah ’trigger it simply, I really feel like I’ve my life collectively. I really feel like a dream has come true the place I’m like, take a look at all this vacation stuff and it’s all simply organized and able to exit. I simply, I don’t know. I adore it. I’m going in there on a regular basis and I’m like, ah, there’s house for me to purchase extra Halloween stuff ’trigger I’ve sufficient room. All proper. I simply really feel so blissful about it. It’s very dorky and I’m not sorry in any respect, that is who I’m. All proper. In order that’s my decor replace, however let’s get to listener questions. Dun, dun, dun.
Elsie: I like this. Okay, cool. The primary Mirna query is from Mirna. It says I’m lastly prepared to begin critically fascinated with a kitchen transform. Which ground do you advocate for kitchens? Okay, to begin with, congratulations as a result of that’s so thrilling. I feel the kitchen, is probably the most thrilling room to transform in a house. And particularly if you’re on the level the place you’re gonna do an enormous transform. Yeah, I like can’t wait to do it myself. And yeah, I’m so excited for you. Okay, so for me, I like a wooden ground within the kitchen, and right here’s why. I do know that it looks like the tile is extra waterproof. I get that, however wooden may be fairly waterproof too. Wooden may be like fairly good. And I like a wooden ground in a kitchen as a result of I feel that to begin with, I prefer to have as few pointless transitions as attainable. So I prefer to maintain every part so simple as attainable on the subject of flooring. So the one place that I personally need tile is in a rest room or possibly a mudroom or one thing.
Emma: Or laundry, possibly if it’s its personal space or no matter as a result of that may be an space with water. Yeah.
Elsie: However for the kitchen, I’ve simply discovered that my most important purpose is that glasses and stuff will break on the tile a lot simpler. And with simply having children and stuff, I had a few tiled kitchens and a few wooden ground kitchens and I simply suppose the wooden ground is best. In order that’s my very robust opinion and it’s actually simply primarily based on like issues don’t break as a lot and it feels extra snug for my ft and extra like cozy and just a bit extra, my private desire of what materials I wish to have. My true first alternative is wooden. So what do you suppose Em?
Emma: Yeah, I’m the identical. We acquired the chance to redo our kitchen earlier than we moved into this home, and now we have wooden laminate, which is what now we have all through a lot of the home, apart from the bogs, one mudroom, and a laundry room.
Elsie: It’s actually fairly. It’s actually, actually gentle. It’s actually huge planks. It’s actually fashionable.
Emma: Yeah. I actually prefer it. It’s additionally very waterproof and it’s the sort that form of snaps collectively the place basically you’ll be able to substitute an space. So if there was an enormous flood by the fridge or one thing, you’ll be able to substitute a portion of it. It’s not as straightforward as tile, I wouldn’t suppose however really, possibly it’s simpler in some methods. I suppose it depends upon what you take into account straightforward. And I’m with Elsie, the less transitions in flooring the higher in my view. Simply because transitions may be visually disruptive, you recognize? ’trigger you’re actually going from one materials to a different, so it like stops your eye. However then I additionally suppose typically transitions could be a little little bit of like a tripping hazard, and so I simply suppose the much less of them the higher. In order that’s what I would favor too. So listed below are some concepts. If you happen to’re not gonna be capable to like redo all of your flooring without delay. So that you’re like, my kitchen just isn’t going to match the remainder of my home, not attainable that ship sailed. So what are some concepts? Right here’s what I might do. So if in case you have wooden or wooden laminate in the remainder of your own home or the adjoining rooms to your kitchen, you can attempt to get one thing that matches, they may attempt to match the stain or one thing like that. So possibly it’s not the very same flooring, nevertheless it might visually look the identical, so you can try this. If you happen to’re capable of get the identical flooring, you then clearly might proceed it. You could possibly additionally do a factor the place you lay it otherwise, so right here it goes out of your lounge into your kitchen. If these are the 2 rooms which are adjoining to one another, then the kitchen might be form of a herringbone sample. And so it’s like, you recognize, it’s comparable supplies, nevertheless it doesn’t precisely match, however since you determined to do a distinct form of sample or lay it a barely completely different means, it’s prefer it provides it a like, that’s okay. That’s regular, it simply form of will get it in there. After which if you’re doing tile, which I don’t suppose is a horrible alternative by the best way. I do know Elsie and I are each not recommending it, however prefer it, if you’re.
Elsie: Let’s skip ideas for what tile would select whether it is tile.
Emma: Yeah. The principle factor I might say is don’t do gentle or white grout. For some folks, this might be so apparent and for some folks, they’ll be like, what? However I’ve an all-white kitchen. I like white. And it’s like, I get it. However white grout on a ground, particularly a heavy-traffic space, like a kitchen, it’s simply gonna get gross. So plan your design the place your grout could be a mid-tone or possibly darkish if in case you have a darker ground.
Elsie: Yeah. I might say even gentle grey grout is best than white. Or if you’d like like a extra heat colour like a lightweight, kind of like beige colour is best. Pure white grout, I had it within the kitchen earlier than and we have been touching it up every year, it was lots of work to keep up. If you happen to’re prepared to try this, get executed with there with that grout pin, then that’s an possibility too.,However I wouldn’t advocate it in all probability. Okay, so if I have been going to do tile within the kitchen, clearly, like I like the look of marble. I feel marble is gorgeous, however having had it, I don’t know, I felt I simply broke so many glasses in that kitchen. I feel I might go extra, I just like the look of brick ground kitchens. I feel they’re actually fairly, that’s good and traditional, very stylish and distinctive. And I additionally like glazed brick. They’ve it on hearth, clay tile in the event you wanna identical to take a look at it and see what it seems to be like in the event you took a skinny piece of brick, it’s like, it’s skinny as a tile, nevertheless it actually is a brick, and you then glaze simply the surface of it, a colour that’s what these are. I like hearth clay additionally as a result of they’ve like a nonslip factor you’ll be able to add to any tile. Which is good. It’s very, crucial to know that you just get one thing that’s not gonna be tremendous slippery with little children.
Emma: Yeah, and canine too. You recognize pets that may be a difficulty too.
Elsie: I feel I might do a, I actually love like a black and white or like a grey and white.
Emma: Like a checkered?
Elsie: Yeah, like a checkered, or like a what’s it known as when it’s like tilted to the aspect?
Emma: Like a diamond?
Elsie: Diamond? Yeah, a diamond sample ground for a kitchen, I feel is so stylish and so fairly, and I like the way it seems to be. So I suppose I might in all probability go in that route after having had the marble flooring. I might in all probability select a porcelain tile only for like ease of use. And you recognize, identical to maintaining it wanting model new perpetually, if that’s necessary to you. I do know so many individuals suppose that you just shouldn’t really feel like every part has to remain wanting model new perpetually. However I form of prefer it when it does. So, everybody’s completely different.
Emma: I feel there are completely different ranges of it, and everybody has their very own consolation and that’s superb. I’ll additionally say if you find yourself in a scenario the place you’re renovating one thing like a kitchen and also you don’t get to do your best choice of flooring as a result of possibly you ran outta finances, you spent it on these good counter tops or no matter else. The rugs are nice. You may at all times do a really impartial ground and one thing sturdy that’s easy, and don’t go wild and do a good looking rug. Get a good looking rug in there. Simply throwing that on the market ’trigger I do know there are occasions just about each renovation goes over finances and you find yourself having to chop one thing that you just have been enthusiastic about. So simply know there’s at all times an alternate that may be very thrilling nonetheless. So don’t fear about it. Follow that finances as finest you’ll be able to. It’s exhausting. We’re right here for you. Okay, subsequent query.
Elsie: I feel we positively answered that query from each attainable route.
Emma: You wanna speak about flooring? Nice.
Elsie: Fairly completely.
Emma: This query comes from Talia, and she or he says, how do you are feeling assured making massive purchases on-line? I’m within the course of of buying a sofa, and I discover it tough to know tips on how to pull the set off, particularly for shops that don’t have a neighborhood showroom to check beforehand. Would like to understand how you make these choices and what your prime issues are. Shopping for a sofa on-line or different issues. However sure, that’s nerve-wracking.
Elsie: I positively am like, on-line procuring girl. So, I can positively reply this. So I feel in the event you stay in a metropolis the place you’ve ample choices of sofas which you could take a look at in particular person and check in particular person, you must try this. I’ve by no means lived in a metropolis with something greater than a West Elm and I suppose that they had an Our Home in Nashville. There will not be lots of decisions and I feel that even with these decisions, I might nonetheless store on-line. Sofas are such a selected factor that that you must get the scale and scale proper on your room initially an important factor is that you just get the precise measurement and scale. After which the second most necessary factor in my view is that you just get the material that you just desire and you recognize, no matter that’s. It is advisable choose the precise factor, not identical to what’s obtainable. And I do know there are in all probability some people who find themselves open-minded sufficient that they may identical to go to any furnishings retailer and choose one thing and that’s superb they usually don’t care. However I’m not that particular person. I do agonize over main purchases, sofas, rugs, beds, and issues like that. However my finest ideas are, to begin with, evaluations. So I prefer to get a private advice that’s at all times finest for me above the rest. Lots of probably the most, like largest, most necessary purchases I’ve ever made have been positively from pals who’re like, I actually like this mattress. I actually like the sort of rug that cleans rather well, issues like that.
Emma: This leather-based couch really held up means higher than I assumed, or no matter. Yeah, yeah. Stuff like that.
Elsie: After which under that, I feel studying evaluations on-line, there are such a lot of locations which have plenty of evaluations, and I feel which you could often get a reasonably good thought. I don’t prefer to sway my opinion an excessive amount of on evaluations, simply because I feel lots of destructive folks vent on them, however you recognize. Yeah. You recognize, you need to form of overlook the people who find themselves identical to, am I capable of inform my factor arrived, damaged? And it’s like, good for you. That’s not useful to different folks. Ignore all these folks, however like, you recognize, the people who find themselves actually taking the time to write down a evaluate that’s meant to tell another person making a purchase order, I feel is a beneficiant, good factor and value studying. And past that, the opposite factor is I discovered this lesson the exhausting means. I feel I talked about it a few years in the past, however actually with sofas and furnishings, that you must verify the return insurance policies. I’ve returned sofas earlier than greater than as soon as, and I’ve had an expertise the place it was like, an excellent expertise and I acquired nearly all my a refund. After which I’ve had one which was a really unhealthy expertise the place like an enormous payment got here out and it was like a thousand {dollars} or one thing, and it simply was like very irritating as a result of I felt prefer it wasn’t my fault in any means. It was identical to the couch wasn’t good high quality when it arrived after an enormous ready interval. After which I knew that I wanted to return it ’trigger I knew it wasn’t gonna maintain up, after which they have been like, okay, nice. You may have this small sum of money again, and I used to be like, what? I didn’t learn the return coverage carefully. So I feel these are some ideas which are useful. And I feel the, like additionally simply experiencing shopping for on-line is like one thing, it’s a ability that you just develop at the place you form of like be taught what to be careful for, and when you’ve sure issues arrive that don’t meet your expectations after which you’ve sure manufacturers that exceed your expectations, you form of be taught to depend on these experiences too for like, I actually belief these sure retailers and these retailers I do know to love be careful for and you recognize, I’m solely gonna store there if it’s like a deal.
Emma: Yeah, I feel there’s that too. Fascinated by your finances, and ensuring that you’re life like. Like if in case you have a very, actually low finances, however you’ve very excessive style, you’re in all probability gonna need to compromise not directly.
Elsie: It’s Fb market time for you.
Emma: I might strive that first one one hundred percent. I might additionally look into reupholstering, one thing that you can purchase means cheaper or like get from a buddy or one thing like that.
You recognize, like simply relying in your finances. However I’m assuming this particular person in all probability has a finances. They’re simply pondering like, oh, I’m making an enormous buy on-line. And that’s form of scary. However yeah, I feel the principle factor I wrote down, I used to be like, two phrases, return coverage, just remember to know. And I do really feel like manufacturers which are nice, lots of occasions they’ve just like the risk-free, some form of return coverage that’s like, look, we get it. Typically issues aren’t what you thought. You’re gonna be capable to return this no drawback. And it’s like, okay, now I really feel much more confidence making an attempt you out and making an attempt this out for possibly hundreds of {dollars} since you’ve made it very simple that you just’re not gonna like, trick me with all these charges if I don’t find yourself loving it. No one needs to return a sofa. It’s an enormous problem, but when one thing’s not gonna be a great match, you gotta return it. ’trigger it’s an enormous factor, you’re gonna sit on it daily in all probability. So it’s gotta final and it’s gotta be the precise match and the precise measurement and all of the issues that you just want.
Elsie: Yeah, positively. I positively suppose that one of the best sofas are on-line, in all probability for most individuals in most elements of the nation. Earlier than we transfer on, one little shout-out for Fb Market and shopping for issues used. I do suppose that the bottom finances, highest high quality gadgets are at all times going to be one thing from that class. It’s form of by no means gonna be from Amazon, like a excessive low finances, tremendous high-quality couch. I might form of say by no means prefer it’s not possible. If you would like that like Ralph Lauren vibey, you then’re gonna have to, you’re gonna want to search out one thing that’s used. And I feel that it’s such an ideal factor from a perspective of like a classic lover and from a perspective of identical to the atmosphere and waste and issues like that. I feel it’s actually cool to discover ways to clear issues, discover ways to restore issues, discover ways to make issues higher, you recognize, which are like a bit of bit beat up, however not unhealthy. I feel that these are tremendous nice qualities to embrace. So yeah, I might positively encourage you to at the least verify and see, as a result of yeah, there are positively simply so many various kinds of sofas you could find in a spot like that.
Emma: Oh yeah, there are treasures available. Seems the one treasure map is a Fb market. Okay, our third query is from Kate and she or he says, I personal a 100-year-old residence with plaster partitions and simply put wallpaper up in our child’s nursery. I hate coping with plaster partitions, so desire utilizing command strips, however the directions say to not use them on wallpaper, how do you embellish with out destroying an older residence or making an enormous mess out of a easy challenge, like large chunks of plaster being torn off and ruining your wallpaper. Okay. We find out about these plaster partitions and wallpaper.
Elsie: I simply had an expertise with my new wallpaper in my sunroom this week, so I needed to put these little meals backdrops, I wanted to both tape or pin them to the partitions. So I went to the shop for push pins they usually didn’t have them. It was at a grocery retailer, they usually weren’t there, so I acquired the tape and I used to be like, it’ll be superb. It’ll be superb. And it wasn’t superb. Now I’ve two items of tape which are going to be on my wall perpetually until I wish to rip off the wallpaper till I get them patched in, which I in all probability will ’trigger it’ll bug me. And after that, I’ll put in all probability two little nails in there, and a few little clips. ’trigger I’m so mad at myself for like, I felt like I simply have to get this executed. I have to get happening this, and it’s like, oh, I’m so pissed off. So I do perceive your concern, and I feel that you just’re proper. I might keep very far-off from these command strips on that wallpaper. I like command strips.
Emma: I might check it. I might check it in a low-down nook someplace the place you’re by no means gonna see it anyway.
Elsie: That’s a good suggestion.
Emma: ’trigger I’ve used command strips on wallpaper earlier than and I’ve used it and it has been a catastrophe like what you’re simply describing. And I’ve used it on wallpaper and it was superb.
Elsie: I suppose. I identical to personally don’t perceive individuals who suppose that command strips don’t trigger injury to partitions, as a result of I’ve simply had so many occasions that they ripped off my paint or wallpaper that I simply have very small belief for them.
Emma: Oh, I agree. However in the event you’ve ever tried to place a wall anchor right into a plaster wall then you recognize the ache that Kate feels, and plaster partitions are simply in case anybody listening has by no means had a plaster wall and by no means handled it, they form of crumble. So even placing a nail in typically can form of make them kind of crumble. And it’s actually annoying in the event you’re making an attempt to hold one thing semi-heavy the place you want a wall anchor as a result of there’s not a stud there. As a result of if it crumbles, then like your wall anchor isn’t going to remain put within the wall both. It has nothing to seize onto. So that you’re identical to making this huge gap and also you’re getting no nearer to hanging your artwork or your calendar or no matter it’s you wished to hold up there, and it’s tremendous irritating. Plaster partitions, I like outdated homes, however that’s the factor. It’s like I wanna transfer artwork round pretty usually and plaster partitions drive me nuts on the subject of these issues.
Elsie: Yeah. I’ve them. I nonetheless put tiny nails in them.
Emma: Tiny nails are good, if for one thing gentle.
Elsie: If you happen to can’t put a tiny nail, there are these sorts of nails which you could get on Amazon. I’ll hyperlink to them which are like, they form of seem like a bit of hoop. And the factor that’s cool about them is you’ll be able to push them into your wall with no hammer, after which they’ll maintain lots of weight. However I don’t understand how it could do on plaster. I take advantage of them quite a bit in my final home. They’re form of good. I suppose if I have been you possibly I might use a command strip. I don’t know.
Emma: I might check the command strip someplace. I’d at the least check it. Yeah, as a result of on that wallpaper, that particular wallpaper in your nursery someplace the place you’re not gonna be capable to see it. So if it does rip the wallpaper a tiny bit, you gained’t see it. It’s like behind your children’ bookshelf or one thing. I might at the least check it. However the different product that I’ve used on plaster partitions that labored, fairly nicely, however I wouldn’t say it’s excellent, is this stuff, possibly you’ve used them. They’re known as wall canine, they form of seem like a, I do know it’s a bizarre identify, however they form of seem like, what am I making an attempt to say? Like an enormous spiral. It’s nearly like they’re a wall anchor.
Elsie: I feel that’s what I used to be making an attempt to explain.
Emma: You positively have to make use of a drill to get ’em into the wall. You positively can’t push it in together with your hand. It’s like a wall anchor constructed right into a screw, basically, they usually work fairly nicely, however I’ve additionally had moments the place it’s nonetheless form of like crumbled, and I used to be like, okay, nicely neglect it.
Elsie: The opposite factor is if in case you have leftover wallpaper, And you recognize, you can do a patch then you’ll be able to simply know that forward of time. ’trigger that’s form of how I’m now. I’m identical to, I used to be so mad about my little tape factor on model new wallpaper, nevertheless it’s just like the injury is finished. You recognize, patching can also be superb. It’s an answer. It simply at all times retains that additional wallpaper in your closet or one thing.
Emma: Attempt to paint it or one thing too. I imply, it depends upon what the wallpaper is. I don’t really feel like we solved Kate’s drawback.
Elsie: We didn’t clear up it, however we gave some concepts.
Emma: We really feel your ache, Kate. Plaster partitions are form of horrible, however I do love outdated homes they usually nearly are at all times in outdated homes, so what are you able to do?
Elsie: It’s price it. It’s price it one hundred percent.
Emma: Alright, our fourth query is a voicemail.
Elsie: Superior. Okay.
Voicemail: Hello Emma and Elsie. Now I’m doing my kitchen and I fear typically that like I’m planning a lot and what’s one thing higher on the market that I haven’t seen, despite the fact that I’ve been in search of months. So I suppose my query is, do you ever discover it debilitating, like planning an excessive amount of? I fear that I deliberate a lot. I deliberate for months, after which like one thing higher is both gonna come alongside or I’m gonna have missed one thing or I’m going to have deliberate all this out after which I’m gonna be like, oh my gosh. Like I ought to have deliberate much more as a result of this isn’t what I like. In any case, I hope that query is sensible. Love your podcast. Thanks.
Elsie: I feel this can be a nice query. It’s very relatable. I battle with FOMO, like actually badly. So I do perceive, however I feel that if you’re renovating, it’s actually necessary to identical to settle for upfront that higher concepts will at all times come alongside. It’s form of like, I don’t know something in life. As you decide to one thing, you adore it one hundred percent, however you then’re at all times gonna see extra issues that may’ve been nice or that you’d’ve additionally beloved. While you’re planning, like selecting your branding colours, planning a marriage, like something you’ll be able to consider that you just do in life.

However for actual, like in the event you wanna have a robust standpoint, and in the event you’re a inventive one that’s at all times like, you recognize, wanting round for evolving inspiration you then’re at all times gonna be like, oh, I want I might’ve seen that concept.
I feel simply understanding that that’s an unavoidable reality, kind of eases the ache of it. I personally, as an individual with lots of FOMO, I feel over-planning is a constructive for me as a result of I prefer to over-plan as a result of I prefer to have a purpose for every part. I prefer to have thought by the a number of choices for every part. Particularly if you’re spending some huge cash, you wanna really feel such as you didn’t simply select the very first thing that you just noticed, as you selected it after taking a look at the entire choices put obtainable, and I feel that that’s very wholesome, however, the best way you are feeling you’ll in all probability at all times have that, however I feel simply understanding that everybody feels that means, it does really feel like a lot stress. However you’ll be able to solely design one home. You recognize, you’ll be able to solely design one kitchen, you recognize? At the very least this yr, at a time.
