Home Inspiration from Millard Lumber

 

Millard Lumber | Home Inspiration

One of the most challenging parts of any home project is creating a plan. Whether your home project includes one room or the whole house, use our Home Inspiration Pinterest board to get started. Start an inspiration board of your own and pin looks that are inline with your final goal. Remember there’s a difference between liking something and living with it. Is it functional? Is it beautiful? Will I enjoy looking at this every day? It also helps to identify things that don’t work for your family or your lifestyle. For instance, the ottoman in the far right picture above may not be the right choice for a family that wants to store books they read daily on or in their coffee table. They would want something more accessible for daily use to avoid having to move the tray and vases every time they grab a book.
