I have been putting this room off. It is my current decorating project. I just can’t get our master bedroom to look the way I want it to. Probably because I don’t really know what I want it to look like. That’s a problem when decorating 🙂 Therefore, I have decided to show you one…
Not long ago my girl and I had some time to thrift, just the two of us. It was a fun afternoon. I unearthed some wooden salad bowls destined for a makeover! We stopped by one of my regular hot spots where we acquired 5 wooden salad bowls. Two large serving bowls and three little…
