While Valentines definitely doesn’t top my list

Every now and then I come across a home that makes me think,  “I wouldn’t change a thing.” This moment is very rare. Most homes I love, but yet there are certain aspects that would need some tweaking (a different fabric here or a different chair there). However, this home by Miles Redd from last
