I was listening to the radio on my way home from work the other day and the subject of our love for inanimate objects became an interesting topic of discussion.

With spring just around the corner (hooray!), it’s the perfect time for a home refresh. For having a well-earned spring clean, getting things in order and planning a little renovation.
