I kept my questions focused on elements of design that all of you Casa readers have been asking me about, figuring you'd appreciate a fresh take. Kim came up with some super smart and creative answers to all of my queries.

What do you think is one of the most dramatic, cheap reno projects that home design buffs can do in their home?<br /> <strong>Kim Myles</strong> It’s been said so many times, but paint is THE most inexpensive /big impact "reno" for any home design buff. It’s a minimal investment of time and money (and if you hate painting, buy a couple of bottles of wine and invite some friends over for a painting party), and you can’t beat the instant wow of fresh, beautifully hued paint.</p> <p><strong>CasaSugar</strong> Is there any skill that you recommend all home design buffs learn?<br /> <strong>Kim Myles</strong> Sewing is a skill that I’ve found to be invaluable.
