Remodeling: Selecting the Perfect Finishing Touches

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.
