In other cases, not having a plan can result in a hit to your budget. You bought the fabulous sofa, but it won’t fit through your door.
With a little planning, measuring, and budgeting, you can turn those problems into:
So, try this:
Once you’ve examined everything, let the hunt for the perfect pieces begin!
