Dear Becky,
To find the right floor, you have to consider the area, traffic patterns, clean-up requirements, and the room’s style. The people who built my home obviously didn’t consider all of these factors when they decided to carpet the kitchen! I’m sure they were concerned with midnight runs to the refrigerator, but I’m constantly worried about spilling spaghetti sauce. To save you this stress, I’ve filled this letter with tips and information to help you make a smart flooring decision.Happy improving,
—Veronica

Elegant Looks with Pumpkins

What says “fall” better than pumpkins? They’re iconic and inexpensive—perfect for displaying indoors and out. I love decorating with pumpkins, and the more I play with shape, color, and size combinations, the more I “fall” in love. See if you don’t agree.You gotta love autumn,

Tip of the Day
