If you’ve been following me at all, then you know my husband has found some pretty good things at the curb waiting for the garbage trucks. Like this Trash to Treasure End Table, This Bench, and these Wicker Chairs! I, however, never have much luck in this department. That is until a few weeks ago when I spotted THESE! The day I found these was trash day, and consequently as I was leaving my neighborhood,…
The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house, but it is often the most neglected in terms of design. Renovating your bathroom can get fairly expensive if you are not careful, so planning ahead and sticking to your budget is the best way to make sure that your bank balance does not feel the squeeze.

I recently made some changes to my dining room and it made such a BIG DIFFERENCE. It’s been a complete dining room refresh. Admittedly, we don’t use this room very often. However, it is the first room you see when you enter the House house. It is just to the right of our entrance way, so even though we don’t use it, I always want it to look nice. Afterall, it is the first impression…
