You Said It: ‘Change Is Good’ and Other Houzz Quotables
It was due — a You Said It column rounding up quotes, tips and advice grabbed from the Comments sections of stories. Taking several hours to read through those sections was a refreshing way to get my creative juices flowing — a topic readers explored this week.
