I consider myself a D.I.Y. home improvement guy. In a prior life, I completely gutted a house - redid the plumbing, wiring, moved sewage pipes, knocked down walls, everything.
I put hardwood floors on top of wall-to-wall carpet.
I bought a house, and I've been decorating it.
My love for interior designing has always been there.
My decorating and renovation skills are nil - indeed, I once used a shower curtain from Pottery Barn as 'window dressing.'
Tile is going to the landfill by the metric ton. All we have to do it gather it up, glue it down to the floor and grout it. Then you have a tile floor, and not just any tile floor: it's a mosaic of your own choosing.
When you build the house, you don't start with the roof.
Do you all have a living room floor or a bedroom floor? Then you can write a book.
I've always been inspired by beautiful interiors.
I like kitchens. I'm a kitchen and bathroom freak.
Interior design wasn't something I rushed into.
I've always loved interior design.
With every bathroom renovation, there are three areas that I focus on: budget, function and style.
You don't need to rip open walls to transform a space. One of the big things that count is furniture design and painting - things you can do yourself - that alone can transform the space.
I'm a serial renovator of apartments and old houses, so I'm in daily need of doorknobs, subway tiles, and 14-foot-tall pier mirrors.
My new house is going to have wall-to-wall awards!
I've been fascinated with interior design for as long as I can remember.
