Lucky for you, the Karr Bick fairy heard your pleas and has come to make your life that much easier! Below, you’ll find the start to finish of a remodel.

Inspiration

Also think about how you want the space to make you feel. Remember, we all naturally have an inner voice. Quiet down, so you can listen to what it’s trying to tell you. Oh, and don’t forget to go with your gut! Inspiration can come from all directions.
