Oh you guys. I’ve been trying SO hard. For what seems like forever, I’ve been on the hunt for THE perfect bedroom color. Lucky for me, I’ve got about a jillion and one paint samples in my laundry room, so it’s not hard to slap some shades on the wall. I knew I wanted to […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget.
