Looking for a way to get the master suite they wanted with as little involvement as possible, my mother- and father-in-law approached me about designing their room. The problem: I live 800 miles away. Thanks to technology, I’m able to design a room remotely—never stepping foot inside!

My mom and I share an (likely unhealthy) obsession about making beds every day and getting the house clean before going away…we’re convinced that it’s good for us.
