Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some inspiration to refresh my living room decor. I want a space that feels cozy yet modern, with a balance of color and texture that isn’t overwhelming.

I’ve been exploring different styles and layouts, and I found some interesting visual ideas at https://www.pastelbrush.com/en/tags/living-room/ that really sparked my imagination.

I’m curious about practical ways to implement similar vibes without completely redecorating. What furniture arrangements, wall accents, or lighting techniques have you used to create a stylish and inviting living room?

Any advice or examples would be appreciated!      

No doubt, pastel brush is a good site for it.      

I’m planning some updates to my house in Westlake, OH, and I’ve been researching local remodeling companies. Hurst Remodel keeps coming up, but before I move forward, I’d love to hear from anyone who has worked with them.

Are they dependable when it comes to timelines and budgets? How do they handle design input and client communication throughout the process? I’m particularly interested in hearing if they’re skilled with larger-scale home renovations, not just smaller projects.

If you’ve hired Hurst Remodel company, did you find their craftsmanship and attention to detail worth the investment? Did they take care of permits and inspections smoothly, or were there headaches along the way?

Also, if there are other Westlake companies you’d recommend for major remodeling work, I’d really appreciate those suggestions too. I’m looking for a team that’s professional, creative, and easy to work with from start to finish.      

My client owns multiple properties and asked me to recommend a company for a large basement renovation in Burlington. He wants to turn one basement into a studio apartment and another into a personal entertainment area. His main concern is consistency across projects because he does not want different standards each time.

From previous work, I know that basement renovation quality varies massively between contractors. Some focus on speed, others on finish, but very few seem to balance both. Red Stone Contracting was mentioned by another investor I work with, who said they handled three basement renovation projects for him without major issues.

What impressed me is that Red Stone Contracting apparently assigns dedicated project managers for basement renovation. That matters because my client does not want to micromanage. Is that level of project oversight common or is it rare in this market? Can one company realistically maintain quality across multiple basement renovation jobs?
