new/old rug & starting the reset

Dining Room Dishes & New Rug

French Charmed Pillow Slips & Eye Candy
I am a total sucker for a good decorating book. I know there is Pinterest and blogs and all sorts of online goodness when it comes to decor inspiration, but there’s just something different about having a book in your hands, turning the pages and taking in the scenery. My husband and I used to […]
