kim’s coastal bedroom | the bedskirt & built-ins
I know lots of you are eagerly awaiting the reveal of my mom’s room makeover. Trust me…she is, too! My design services are free, but they aren’t fast! We have been making some progress, though. I mentioned before that I made a bed skirt, but I didn’t have a chance to get a picture of […]

ten minute Christmas decorating | pretty packages
As I’ve been decorating for Christmas this year, I’ve shared that I’m all about keeping it simple. Pretty things, fresh greenery, a few traditional touches and that’s about it.
