My husband and I have just been handed an extremely difficult situation that is affecting our marriage. We need to find someone who not only specializes in marital counseling, but understands children's needs as well. Please help! Thanks in advance.

 
If You're Keen On Being Green
From Kristin Baron:  REPLY
Green is a key element in almost every project I do. I am not just talking about the color, but also the concept of being environmentally responsible. Products like recycled glass countertops, low VOC paint and green-certified doors are just a few of the many sustainable options out there.  Bamboo and cork are wonderful flooring choices, since they are renewable, natural materials.  Reclaimed wood furniture and recycled aluminum accessories are too. If reducing your carbon footprint is important to you, Baron Design help can help you transform your home into a beautiful, environmentally responsible space.  For more information, click HERE or visit our website HERE for a full list of services.*

You're Gonna Love Your Floors Again!
From Netty Parente:  REPLY
Are your floors dirty and dingy looking?  Not only are dirty floors unattractive, but ground-in dirt acts as an unsanitary hotbed for germs and bacteria, which can also cause odors in your home.  OxyCleanFresh formulates and blends its own cleaners from raw ingredients to ensure that they are safe for your home, office and family.  We do not use acids, lye, VOCs, petroleum solvents, chlorine, APE surfactants - chemicals that are commonly used by carpet cleaners and found in supermarket spot removers.   Call us today at 305.270.5310 to schedule your free estimate or click HERE to visit our website for more information.
