Do you have Pinterest, Houzz or any inspirational images you could share with us? We highly recommend to all our clients that they start a Pinterest board for the home or one for each room and save any/all images that they are drawn to so that we can get a really good sense of your visual direction. Don't worry about all the images you save having a consistent theme. Leave that up to us. If you see tile in a bathroom that you love for your kitchen, save it!
Any additional thoughts or details you would like us to know?
