Human beings, as a collective, have been spending a lot more time indoors. Some of us have welcomed this with open arms, seeing this as an opportunity to take a step back and reflect. While others, not so much. I understand, though. There’s something about being in the same space day in and day out that feels kind of claustrophobic. There are ways to open up and cleanse the space that you live in. Make it a point to regularly sweep, dust, and mop. Clear out any clutter scattered around. Pop…

Ever find yourself staring at a blank space in your living area? It could be the empty space right above your couch. Maybe, it’s that bare wall next to your bed. Perhaps, the wall right above your toilet? Whatever and wherever that space may be, you feel drawn to fill in that space with something. For this dilemma, ever consider creating a gallery wall?

Terrazzo is the combination of chips—granite, quartz, marble, shell and glass—and a binder like epoxy resin or cement. This originated in Venice more than 500 years ago. It was considered then as a cheap building material because it was made of discarded marble chips from the production of big marble slabs that Italy, up to today, is known for. Workers used this material on the floors of their homes, also on terraces, hence the name terrazzo. The material was brought to the United States in the late 17th century by European…

Color psychology, to put it simply, is the study of how colors affect our mood and behavior. For example, how would you think you would feel if you spent an hour in a room with all its walls painted a bold red? Likely restless after a while!

So, how well do you think you know color psychology?

I’d complete the look with a ton of wooden furniture, some lush, dark green plants, and a couple of fun design elements to liven up the place. But, being in an all-white room made me feel like….God was calling out to me. If you know what I mean. I needed some pops of color in my…
