I have always found myself attracted to fully white homes. The classic feel these homes carry always puts me in a melancholic mood while the openness of it refreshes me right after. Due to this, I have recently convinced my parents to go for SW Alabaster walls with Pure White trim for their Coastal home. Convincing them was rather easy since the colors complimented the beachy, aqua toned decor of their home. The combination of organic and modern furnishings sat harmoniously against the backdrop of SW 7008 Alabaster walls. And the SW 7005 Pure White trim polished the feel of…

A recent decluttering experience at my grandmother’s old home opened my eyes to the usefulness of closets. My friend suggested we do a closet upgrade alongside the home makeover to raise the house value. She further mentioned that she had lately discovered Closets by Design and swore by them, but my partner was baised to California Closets. Thus began a steady descent into us building a comparison of Closets by Design vs California Closets. You see, the storage solution for my grandmother were aged wardrobes that were half falling to pieces. But nowadays, built in closets are far more popular…

Flooring is an important part of any space and choosing the right kind can be a major undertaking. A friend of mine insisted that they needed a good suggestion for their basement and my partner suggested checking out “Duralux”. Which is why I went on an exploration of Duralux Flooring Reviews to see what I was about to experience in the face of Duralux waterproof flooring. But why Duralux? Busier homes need durable floors and Duralux is one such brand that provides a desirable alternative to natural wood. It is popular for its high durability and waterproofing quality that holds…

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. Now I needed to figure out which one was better and so began my descent into an exploration of Behr Dry Plus vs Drylok.  But why waterproofing? Because humidity buildup, as I noticed, created a terrible musty smell that I couldn’t help noticing once the rain let up. I further discovered that basement floor and wall waterproofing is necessary if you want to avoid…

All kitchens are incomplete without reliable cabinetry. Thus the need for understanding the basics of buying the best brand becomes relevant. Most of us want quality, style and affordability packed into one. With this in mind, I have set up a systematic evaluation of Cubitac vs Fabuwood to help you determine what meets your standards. Cubitac and Fabuwood are budget friendly brands that offer semi custom cabinetry, but which one is better? I had this question eating me up since I wanted something with high value that would meet my vision for design. It led me down a deep dive…

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…

When it comes to home renovations and DIYing your way through a room, the color white is one of the colors that comes into your mind. It comes in all manner of shades and I will be helping you choose the correct choice of white by working out a comparative study between Sherwin Williams Snowbound vs Pure White. Whites can be fickle depending on their undertones and where you place them. They tend to either warm up or cool down a room. So it is important that you know their aspects and how certain conditions of lighting, room arrangement and…

As I advanced into remodelling, gardening and making a livable space for my family, I realized that laundry was inescapable. A close friend of mine who saw my laundry habits recommended I invest in a more load bearing machine. This made me go into an overthinking mode, my thoughts ranging from what to buy to which washing machine brands to avoid.  With work that demands time and focus, big families and those physically struggling, the need for a washing machine is certain. We have a need and we try to fulfill it. Then comes the glaring concern and common pitfalls…

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…

We are aware that cabinetry is an essential part of any kitchen or bathroom. It is a well used item that requires a reliable finish and long standing durability. And in my search for something that met my design ideas, I found myself deadlocked between omega cabinets vs kraftmaid. I wanted the perfect aesthetic while considering the functionality for my storage needs. While mapping the layout of my space I started with the question ‘which brand will meet my needs?’ As omega cabinetry and kraftmaid are two well liked cabinet brands that offer a wide selection of customizable cabinets, I…
