Budget Friendly DIY & Interior Decorating
Amy at The Blissful Bee found that working out of the home is sometimes challenging, especially if your work space doesn't feel like an office and you feel like you never leave the house. (I can certainly relate!!) So she decided to make her home office a defined space to give herself a separate place to escape to while she works. Since Amy and her husband both work from home, right across from each other actually, they needed a very … [Read more...]

By Amanda Greene, Brand Manager for RHL.org, leading online residence hall linens supplier. Remember that first campus apartment? I was given the old refrigerator that was rusting away in the family garage.
