With all the things going on in 2020 right now, I’m starting to wonder if a lack of rain during monsoon season will just be another tally to the 2020 bingo card.
The very first project started and completed at Project Verde was the master closet.
Now, there was nothing terribly wrong with the closet to make it the first thing to get updated, but, it was more like the easiest in a whole string of updates. So, let’s take it from the beginning.
It’s one thing to see how the different elements of design can impact the spaces within your home, but it’s another to experience is from a more tactile level.
