DIY OTTOMAN UPGRADE
This old ottoman (below) has doubled as a stool during the 2 year long renovation of our home. It’s covered in joint compound and paint splatters, giving evidence of its obvious misuse. No doubt it is time for a major makeover. I could have striped the old fabric and opted…
DOMINO ROOMS
I LOVE and appreciate all kinds of design styles so this task was especially hard for me. But, I successfully narrowed my favorite domino rooms down to two, although there were at least 5 that were soooo close. However, the two that I ended up with have some similar elements….

ACTION REQUIRED
Just some thoughts I’ve been having lately (really my whole life). . . I NEVER want to be one of those people that only talks about my dreams rather than actually going after them. I don’t want to look back one day and wonder if I could have done it-…
MODERN FARMHOUSE FAMILY ROOM

THIS TABLE IS HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
