Drywall is going up in the new house, so I am at the stage where i need to pick my interior colours. However, the builder uses Sherwin Williams and while I have used Sherwin Williams and like their paints, I wanted to use only Benjamin Moore paints. While i know...
I have been wishing that this is the type of space that I would wake up to at this time of year or something very close to it. However, unfortunately, this is my reality; boxes everywhere and chaos! We received an offer on our house just before our Connecticut...
