House questions
How are lighting sizes decided?
Pendant, chandelier, and sconce notes focus on width and hanging height over tables, islands, and beds. The lighting collection keeps those measurements together.
What helps a small kitchen stay usable?
Storage that matches how the room is actually cooked in: drawers, pantry zones, and counters that stay clear. Organizing notes cover kitchens, pantries, and laundry.
Which rooms have their own project notes?
Kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and the Connecticut house tour each have their own collection, along with hands-on projects and cleaning routines.
