Each voiced a different impetus for her revamp advice: Duscheone expressed joy for breathing life into an old building while Romann highlighted the economic satisfaction of transforming a dilapidated design into something stylish and successful. Torres stressed an inherent cleverness tied to inexpensive solutions, insisting that local shopping can create frugal and distinct identities for properties.
