Before & After: Mother-in-Law Bedroom at the Junior League of Boston 2016 Show House
Sometimes when I first walk through a new client’s home for the first time, I kind of wonder “why am I here? This looks perfectly lovely.” Usually when we dig into things, there is a good reason why I’m there, as there is a particular problem to address, and a look and feeling they would like to…
