Barn Inspired Details in the Home
My parents have always had dreams of converting a barn into a home. Like my parents, most of us probably don't have the means to live in a gorgeously restored barn, it is at least possible to bring a little bit of the barn into your home.
Barn doors are something I've been seeing more and more of lately, and...

Have Fun with Lighting

Vanity Eye Candy!
Every Monday could use some eye candy to start us off, right?! Lately I've been scoping out ideas for bathroom vanities. Ours is soooorrrryyyy. It's chipping and cheap looking and I hate. Vanities are one of those things that should look great, because they are such a focal point of a bathroom, but also be functional because most of...
