    Lots of great ideas and projects. Love seeing things like that, I printed out the wood arrow so hubs could make some of those for us. We finally got a digital camera, now to figure out how to use it.
    Was thinking would be good to make couple of gates like he made for me. We hung it over our bed, I like to hang whatever makes me happy from time to time, seasonally. Wish we could find more shutters, lots of ideas of things to make with those. Want to find source for old wood windows also.
    Hope all well with you and yours. Happy days

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space. 

Comment SHOP for everything I added in here!

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
