I came to a late realization that we needed waterproofing when I saw the humidity build up in our basement. Since the need arose, I first asked a friend who suggested Behr Dry Plus and Drylok.

Not long ago, a close friend of mine came to me with a troubling dilemma. Her concern began when choosing between Benjamin Moore Alabaster vs Sherwin Williams Alabaster. The glaring concern that stood out to me was that although Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams Alabaster were very similar, they had a significant difference in their undertones. Where BM Alabaster showed pink, SW Alabaster was creamy yellow. This was my immediate concern and led me to wonder how to help her pick. She wanted a transitional look for her modern condo and was unwilling to budge from alabaster. When I further…

In the midst of my home renovation, it hit me that I had little idea about how to make the ideal office space for my husband. When I asked him what he would like, this studious and often too funny man said ‘small masculine office decor’ and I, with my great patience, had to sit him down. I had an idea about masculine decor but I was afraid that was too little information to work with. While creating a separate mood board which he was more helpful with, I found myself overflowing with inspiration. Our goal was to create an…
