Room Refresh & Renew with Birch Lane
I have shared in the past that rugs are my nemesis when it comes to decorating. It’s just so hard to find a rug that works with everything happening in a room. I threw in the towel and had pretty much all jute and seagrass rugs in the house. I love the look of them and I have found certain styles … Read More

room reset challenge | part 3 | making lists
In part two of the room reset, we were playing with our stuff. Like our room is one in a dollhouse and we’re moving around the pieces until we like it. Adding some things, taking away others, assessing the space and trying to think outside of the box. This is about using as much of what you have to make … Read More
