Quote from @Zalman Schurder: Hey guys,I am closing on my first fix and flip in Tamarac Florida.I am renovating the entire home, adding a full bath, new floors, a new kitchen etc.Where can I find ideas for current designs, colors, flooring, paint, and kitchen layout.Any general advice of what to do or steer clear of?
