A Little Bookcase Styl’in {& A Big Makeover}
How do you create a stylish bookcase that is equally functional? Then again, a better question is how much of a design dork would you think I was if I said my first attempted to “stylize” the bookcase was preeeety useless. *hangs head shamefully*Is it just me that finds this task somewhat of a challenge? I had […]
Matte Maker, Matte Maker, Make Me a Matte…
So, what do you do once you’ve bought or painted the perfect picture for your space, and then discover that it is too small for the matte? Apparently you panic, then you make a run to a store that does custom framing, then you hyperventilate when you hear how much it will cost, then you […]

Jack & Jill Bathroom Reveal
This bathroom makes me soooooo happy! I seriously avoided passing this bathroom because it made me anxious and frustrated.
