I woke up this morning with no expectations about my day…
Around 8:00 am I received a call from the trucking company. Last week they had lost one out of 6 boxes delivered to me with a shipment of Light Fixtures ordered for a Dentist Office I am completing.

I recently saw an article on MSN about a bathroom makeover on a small budget and it encouraged me to write about design.
Although the article’s emphasis is on the budget, it doesn’t make any mention of the homeowner’s expertise, or lack thereof, to tackle such a task.
