The next room in our house that’s getting a major overhaul is the office. It’s never been a very functional or pretty space — and as far as I’m concerned the two go hand in hand. I’m just not likely to spend much time in a room...
Do you want to see a sneak peek of our house? I snapped a few photos on my phone the other day and thought you might be curious about how the house painting is going! We’re in, I think, the fifth week of work and...
