I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for cute. I cannot tell you how many “cute” things I’ve purchased, gotten them home, and sent them to Goodwill a year later because they didn’t work with anything else I had. I’ve gotten better at passing up “cute” by having a specific style in [...]
Making Your Home a Refuge
May 11, 2012 By
When I was in college, my best friend and I used to daydream about our future homes. We’d flip through the pages of a magazine like Victoria and soak in the beauty of inviting spaces.
