My favorite products for the home
As a designer, I often purchase furniture from vendors. But, sometimes I just can't find that "perfect" piece of furniture I need for a space. When I can't find the right size, or the right wood tone, or the right look, there's only one thing left to do...make it! After [...]
Furniture can be expensive, and buying new furniture for your home can really hurt your wallet!
