DECORATE

Project by project, small space by small space, my home is getting a makeover one careful penny at a time! So, it may be a little while in coming (and a lot of elbow grease!), but creating a lovely well organized home for my family is well worth the effort! 
I hope you will enjoy my project gallery as I document my adventures Room by Room!


LIVING ROOM

In our house we truly "live" in our living room...it is the space we play together, work together, do schoolwork together, and spend quality time.
That makes this space one of the most important spaces in our home.  If these walls could talk they would speak of a family that loves and lives.
