Hello from WA! I am new to your site and I really like what you did with the study! I hope you get to do all the little things you have been planning. Our house is slowly turning into a home too. Little by little, week by week, paint job by paint job. It is a very rewarding exercise though. good luck with your blog too. I would love to stay in touch:) God bless x
ReplyDeleteHey Karen, good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't attempted much home improvement in the past as I always believed you needed money, but I have since found that it is amazing the changes I can do with a little imagination, a touch of creativity, and a big chunk of "having a go". Good luck with your efforts too. xx
