Summary

You’ve finished your new build or most recent renovation project, and while everything looks beautiful, something feels off. In our new series, we’ll be taking you through the home and pointing out all the overlooked design details you might not think about, what not to do, and how to get it right the first time. In this first episode, we’re starting right at the front door by diving into window grids, how to think about threshold, and how to confidently decide which direction to run your floors (and when it’s okay to break the rules). If you’re building, renovating, or refining your entry, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you add charm and character to your home.
