Our Bedroom Make-over {Before & After}
Somehow for about seven years, our room did not receive much attention. It was always liveable, but rather sad looking.

THE WONDERFUL LIFE OF APARTMENT LIVING
We will soon be leaving our beloved condo, in exchange for what will probably be a grown-up, suburban home. The time is right. I know. But I feel a bit like the time when I had to let my little student car (a VW beetle or Volla affectionately called Gert) go. I knew the timing […] Read more…
