The Importance of Lighting

Lighting Is one of the most important elements that transform a room into a seamless combination of functionality and style. The placement and type of lighting is an important aspect that works in conjunction to the entire room.

Listing Your Home – Part 4 Uncluttering This is the most important step of all! Uncluttering doesnt include just your daily personal items but also your decorating style.
