Her next task is to finish the floor plan. She says that she wants oak flooring boards, but fears the wood ceiling will be too cluttered.

She stated, “I feel I need a white ceiling to make this work. Timber will always clash.”

Recently, the mom decided to cover the driveway so that the yard and pool could flow smoothly around the house’s back.
