You know me, always looking for ways to give my home a quick refresh, I get bored easily. I can change my mind daily about styling my home. Sometimes all you need is a day at home, changing things up to make you feel like you’ve overhauled your home. It can be as simple as […]
A couple of weeks ago I picked up this huge piece of canvas from a Facebook marketplace. It was already painted with some pinks/grey/black. It measured about 1.5m x 1m and was only $20.
