Is it worth the wait?

I just read a text from a client that has helped reinforce a design decision I made earlier today.  The text read "Hi, Jennifer, I wasn't sure if I sent you a picture of my finished fireplace.  Surely worth the wait and the addition of more textured tiles.

White or Biscuit? That is the question. . .

At least once a week I am asked "Should I use White or Biscuit for my sink, tub and commode?"  More often than not my answer is white.  White is safe.  White is timeless.  White does not draw attention.  White will be available in the years to come if you need to replace one fixture.  White is an [...]
