    I’m inspired! I have a great cedar chest that we bought years ago at a garage sale. It has some serious issues on the top just like this. Going to go check out the details and then talk hubs into letting me revamp it!

    Cassie your desk is so cute. Now that is something I would NEVER find at any thrift stores here, and if I did, it definitely would not be a steal. I think there are pieces of furniture that us West Coasters just don’t have access too!

    Great party, I have amassed a lot of doors recently, I am checking out that door bench link! Hope all is well there, I feel like I have been hiding under a rock called “reworking the blog”!

    Whoops I automatically filled in “painted red beds” for my Robin’s Egg Blue Dresser after it popped up as an autofill…I can’t delete it or fix it from my end. Can you?

    Thanks for hosting! i LOVE your daughter’s new bedroom!!
