The other day I had a homeowner reach out to me asking for consulting services. He had hired a contractor for interior design for his home restoration task.  And the homeowner was obviously getting tired of spending money on frequent restoration with ceramic tiles on walls and floors across all areas of the house. Now, the homeowner was not in favor of ceramic tiles again. The contractor was also not coming up with a feasible idea within the budget. So, I inquired about how much his budget was.

Outdoor living is tempting. If chilly weather compels you to leave it, warmth from a fire pit may help you resist that nasty climate.
