I’m proud to say that unlike last year, I’ve got almost everyone on my Christmas gifting list checked off! There’s still a few stragglers though, and I’m racking my brain on what to get them because it’s always the pickiest people who are left ’til the last minute! Whether you’re like me this year and […]
Remember the space saving kitchen design by Taylor + Taylor that I shared last week? Well, as promised, here’s a closer look at that jaw-dropping modern tile floor mosaic that takes the kitchen from amazing to out-of-this-world!
