Donna Frasca :: I Want Color to Pop (Tart)
9November 16, 2011

St. Paul Home :: the Best Online Design Tools
0August 29, 2011
One of the more convenient innovations that companies are latching onto these days is the online design tool. Be it for kitchen, bath, flooring, etc., these tools give shoppers the ability to visualize products in a more natural setting before they purchase.

We decided almost immediately that we were not going to remove or cover the near original german clapboard siding. (Did replacing it cross our minds? At that time, honestly, no.)
We had a decent painter, who had just done our other house, and with him, we decided initially to give it a quick paint job. It was needed to hide years of flaking and peeling.
