A Blog About Budget Friendly DIY & Interior Decorating
I turned my attention to my entryway yesterday out of frustration. My original goal was to get all of my studio shutters installed and show you today how they turned out. Then I realized I hadn’t ordered enough hardware to finish the six studio shutters. Ugh!! So now I won’t have finished studio shutters until […]
Board and Batten Shutters
Hey there! Well, it’s been a very slow and frustrating week with house projects. I’m still not finished with my living room draperies. Part of that is because the actual drapery panels are pretty time-consuming with the Greek key trim I’m adding (you can see details about that here), but I also had quite the […]

Good morning, all! First, let me say a big “thank you” for your sweet comment about my house, my voice ( 😀 that was unexpected!) and my very first video house tour in yesterday’s post. It was fun to do, so if I can get better and faster with the video editing process, I’d love […]
