When I change things around I give away and sell some things and keep other things set aside. I liked this bedding, but when we got the new bedding for our farm bedroom, this bedding went in the closet. This was the new bedding we got for our bedroom. You can see what a difference […]
Liming the Fireplace
Is any room ever finished? If you love interior design, the answer is no. So I’ve been looking at my built in cabinets and fireplace for awhile now. I wrote about how I achieved the original finish HERE. I like the finish but began to wonder what it would look like a bit lighter. I […]
