But it didn’t start out that way.
“Someone came in from a large contracting company,” Ford recalls.
“I told him my idea: I wanted white subway tiles.
A big old open shower with no curtains.
An octagon-tiled floor and a tub underneath the slanted roof, right there in the shower.
‘you might’t do that.
I’ve never seen that.’
Now, you know I don’t take no for an answer.
I’ve been this way since I was 10 years old and painting Mom’s refrigerator.”
I stepped into that house and I thought, How are we going to do this?
The space was tricky.
It was an old house.
Everything was a little bit iffy.
Everything was outdated, and it needed a ton of work.
But anything that Leanne wants is a little trickier than what your average human being wants.
It’s more of a MacGyver situation.
But in the end, it’s always better and more interesting that way.
It’s that little tweak that Leanne puts on something.
It’s that push that she takes to make it jump to the next level.
I really respect that about her."
