This page explains how I write, update and correct the guides on this site, so you know what to expect from them.
What the guides are for
The guides here are for ideas and planning: colors, layouts, materials and how to combine them. They are general guidance, not professional advice for your specific house. For anything structural, electrical, plumbing or anything that needs a permit, please follow the product instructions and your local building rules, and talk to a qualified pro.
How I choose and check information
- I start from a real question readers ask, such as which colors work with an existing cabinet or roof.
- Paint color names and product details are checked against the manufacturer where I mention them, because a wrong color code is a real problem when you are standing at the paint counter.
- When I describe another blogger’s project, I only use details they shared themselves, credit them by name and link to their original post.
- If I am not sure about something, I leave it out rather than guess.
Images
Idea posts mix photographs with digitally created concept images that show a look or color combination. They are meant for inspiration, not as photos of a specific finished project. Stock photos come from licensed libraries, and photos from other creators are always credited and linked to the original.
Affiliate links and independence
Some posts link to products, and if you buy through those links I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides what I recommend, and sponsored content, if there ever is any, will be clearly labeled. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
Updates and corrections
I update older guides when something changes or when I find a better way to explain it. If you spot an error, email me at [email protected] with the page link and I will check it and correct it.
Credits and takedowns
If you are a creator featured on this site and would like a photo changed or removed, email [email protected] and I will take care of it promptly.
