I love cooking with herbs. I use them in chicken, lamb chops, fish and steaks. Rosemary and Thyme are staples when I’m baking potato wedges, and a little bit of crisped sage with roasted carrots is a winning combo. However, if you’ve ever purchased herbs from the grocery store, you know full well how expensive …
Last year, my sister, Beka, and her husband, Drew, had a refrigerator that started leaking in their Los Angeles home. Over the course of several months, it seeped into the floor and caused extensive water damage to the flooring, the subfloor and even the lower cabinets.

Much like their kitchen, Jess and Jon’s bathroom renovation was going to require a lot of work on a small budget. I had to find ways for them to save money without compromising on the final look. When I first saw the bathroom, the first thing I noticed were the garish mint green walls which …
Darkest Before The Decor Jon and Jess’s living room was dark and dingy when I first visited the house. Like their kitchen, black granite tiles covered the entire floor.
