Poet Edith Sitwell said, “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” This year, more than ever before, we’ve been spending much of our time at home. For some, this has been a time to appreciate and admire their abode. But for many, the increased time spent at home has opened eyes to possible changes. Whether you just realized you didn’t like your living room wall, or want to completely redo your master bathroom, there is a local expert on Cape Cod or the Islands to help!
