Click for week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5…Hello everyone! Welcome to the big reveal! I can’t believe that I was able to accomplish all I did within 6 weeks. While there are still some missing elements like window treatments and a...

This is a view of the sunroom. This weekend, I decided to spray paint the base of that side table gold. I already have gold accents elsewhere in the room, so it made sense. Plus, I’ve been seeing the gold based tables everywhere! The table was originally...
