At the beginning of 2013 I made a list of all the projects I wanted to accomplish throughout the year. It was my first time making a project goal list and I didn’t really know how well we would do throughout the year. .. So, how did we do? Let’s find out! 1. Finish the…
One of my absolute favorite things about our dining room from our Christmas home tour, is that DIY wood centerpiece…. and the rosemary! And since today is $30 Thursday, I thought I’d share a little bit more about that fabulously smelling centerpiece! If you’re new here, $30 Thursday is a monthly project that can be…
