When my husband and I were first married, we had very little furniture or decor. Our little apartment sported a few pieces of second-hand furniture and handful of wedding pictures in mismatched frames. Thus, I started working on projects!
We had very little money to buy new things, but I didn’t want that to stop us from making a home for our growing family. Since I already liked crafting, I decided to try my hand at refurbishing furniture and creating wall decor. And I fell in love with it!
I was constantly working on or searching for new projects. Eventually, family and friends began to give us their cast offs. Though it took some time, we were able to fill our home with custom pieces.
Here is where I share tutorials and inspiration for my favorite projects!
