About Me
Hi, my name is Jodi, and I am a visual artist and amateur designer. If you are like me, the finishing touches are what makes a space. For instance, when I walk into a room with crown molding versus one where the walls just meet the ceiling in boring corners, I have a completely different feelings. Similarly, small touches such as stained glass panes in french doors, built-in shelving around fireplaces and more have a strong impact on my aesthetic sensibilities. I feel so passionately about this that I decided to create an entire blog around the topic. Whether you are in the conception phase of a project or nearing its end, these tips on finishing touches should help you. Happy reading, and thanks for finding my blog!
