beautiful variety | encouragement
I usually get a post up on Mondays, but there was some background maintenance happening on my blog and I wasn’t able to get a post up on time. That ended up being okay because I had another furniture pick-up this morning and Jeff helped me shuffle furniture around to get things organized a bit […]
splurge vs. save chandeliers
A few have asked about my chandeliers and if I’m selling any of them. The chandeliers are going to convey to the house, but we did decide to keep the one in the dining room. It is my favorite and even Jeff said it was worth the trouble of taking it down and replacing it […]
