Our house was built in 1991. Â It is just old enough to be outdated, but not old enough to be chic. Â Although I had updated the decor of our living room a few years ago, I hadn't done a thing with our dining room/office.

Â But since I've been blogging, it has become more of a room where I store blogging stuff, er, I mean a room where I work at … [Read more...]

I had so much fun creating this post.  I love makeovers, don't you?  The seasons are changing and Fall is the perfect time to update your bedroom with a new look.  Are you ready for my "before" and "after"?  I didn't hate my "before".  It wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either.  It was zzzzzzzzz, boring.  Z's are good in the bedroom but it should be because you are ready to sleep, not because your decor is boring!  Okay, here it is, my … [Read more...]
