1. WHAT TO EAT
Fresh Confections and Catering offers tips to creatively entertain at home this summer with the perfect bite size menu.
2. WHAT TO REMODEL
When considering contractor for remodeling projects, not only is it about reputations, but also whether they can turn your dream design into reality. If you work with an architect or designer willing to go that extra mile, it’s a lot easier to make your design come true. The old process of putting in “allowances” (rough estimates for selections including cabinetry, flooring, and lighting) leaves your tastes up for interpretation, giving your contractor control over your design. Turning the process around and attending to details puts you in the drivers seat. Tip from Synergy Design & Construction, synergydandc.com
