Choosing the Right Paint Colors for your Business
When you are doing your own decorating and interior design, so much of what we choose comes down to a matter of personal taste and style. Doing the decorating for your business, though, is a bit of a different ballgame. Obviously, you want to represent your brand and your company by the design choices you make but the colors that you choose for your place of business play a big part in how people will function in that space.
Should I Paint That? Tile
The process of removing and installing new tile during a home remodel, renovation, or revamp, can be downright grueling. Tile is the kind of stuff that’s built to last, and making a change to it involves a lot of time and effort. No one wants to spend hours chipping away at existing tile and leveling out the surface underneath just to embark on the delicate and difficult venture of carefully installing the new stuff. There is another option, however, and it might sound a little crazy, but it could save you not only time but a fair amount of money. Paint it!

The Power of Paint in the Kitchen
The kitchen is typically one of the most lived-in rooms in the house. Many people enter the kitchen first thing in the morning to cook breakfast and go straight to the kitchen when they get home from work to prepare dinner. Kitchens can be a communal space for people to gather as they cross paths throughout a day or a place to eat a relaxed meal when you don’t want to set the dining room table. In smaller homes, kitchens might not be large enough for people to want to spend time in but even then, members of a household are in and out of the kitchen several times throughout any given day. Additionally, many kitchen formats are open in some way to the rest of the house and could be visible from the dining room or the living room. So, it stands to reason that an outdated kitchen could decrease your level of comfort in your home, not to mention potentially decrease the value of your home when it comes time to sell.
