This was a busy week in the room – here’s what we accomplished:

  • Walls painted
  • Carpet installed
  • Old table transformed
  • Media shelves arrived and assembled

Spare Room Progress – One Room Challenge 2015

Before I get started, I first want to thank you all for your support and kind, encouraging words yesterday.  You all are the best and I feel like I got a giant virtual hug.  Y’all…this is the real reason I blog.  The support and friendship I have received through my little space on the web is truly amazing and I am so grateful.
