I am in love…

...with decorating blogs, that is.  I have found a bazillion things to love in blogland! There are a lot of talented DIY decorators and I am totally jazzed about all the inspiration I have found recently.  Why didn't I discover decorating blogs a few years ago?  Guess I'm just slow that way.  Anyway...I love all the resources and I'm going to post … [Read more...]
