This room just makes me happy. There is color EVERYWHERE! I've never been afraid of color, but lately I am having more and more fun going bold and mixing prints and styles to create something of my own. In this room, we have handmade and store-bought.

This room's finishing touch was actually started years ago. Let me Continue Reading
Repurpose Kids Chairs into Wood Shelves
I have a problem. I can't let go of sentimental things. Items that have a story. It may be like hoarding to hold onto them, but I like to think of it as a repurpose-ing gift. Can you relate?

I foresee turning it horizontally and using it above a desk or dresser. I knew it definitely needed some updating since the back was peeling off, so that Continue Reading
