Your Home’s Silent Verdict: Why That Floor Feels All Wrong
The morning light, usually so forgiving, poured through the bay window of the 1925 craftsman bungalow, mercilessly highlighting the mistake. Brenda, a woman with an uncanny knack for making even the most chaotic situations feel manageable, stood at the threshold of her living room.
