“By using a steamer, it is harder to damage your clothes compared to using an iron,” says Rechelle Balanzat, CEO and Founder of Juliette Laundry. The reason for this is that you don’t have to master a technique with a steamer as you do with an iron—at least if you don’t want to damage your clothing.

A low-framed ceiling cut off transom windows. Marie turned a low structural beam into a decorative asset. She clad it with bleached white oak planks and added beams branching off either end to make it look like an intentional part of the design....

To protect yourself from cuts and scrapes, remember to wear gardening gloves, especially when working with plants with prickly leaves, such as lungwort....
