Your home deserves
ideas that actually last.

Hi, I’m Joanne Hadley.

I write about home improvement for people living in real homes — not showrooms. After renovating three houses over nine years and working through fourteen major projects from bathroom refinishing to full backyard overhauls, I learned that good decisions start with understanding materials, not just aesthetics.

Everything on Solina Decor is built around one question: what actually holds up? You’ll find spec numbers instead of vague adjectives, and honest trade-offs instead of brand talking points.
