Welcome back for day two of One Room, Three Ways. On day one, I left off with my living room looking like this … … and now it looks like this. I wanted so much to move the sofa around, but the only other wall it would fit on was the front window wall. When I put it there, it blocked… Read More
When I was asked to join the One Room Three Ways Party, I knew exactly which room I wanted to redo … my living room. Here is what it looked like one year ago. … and here it is now. It has been a work in progress. I’ve showed you bits and pieces along the way, but I thought I would… Read More
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I was asked to join these six amazing bloggers in the One Room Three Ways challenge and link party, but I am going to try to.
