Decorating With White

The color white is making a major comeback.

Fun Home Renovations

Close your eyes. We want you to imagine a space: a magical place, where your wallet produces unlimited cash, and where contractors and property limitations are non-existent. Imagine an empty building; a space untouched. Now, dream.

What colors do you paint the walls? What kinds of levels do you add? Are there secret passageways and slides coming out every window that all funnel into one beautiful, crystal-clear pool? No? Imagine harder! Dream big!

It’s unreasonable; the first thing you probably thought of was, “that is completely, 100% implausible.” Perhaps that is true—especially if you’re a big dreamer.
