Ways to save money during a remodel (ORC: Week 2)

I was super excited when word came down the pipe that Design*Sponge was interested in featuring our master bedroom in one of their Before/After posts. Click here to read the article! I was also super excited to know that someone else in the design world liked my bold black stripe which means I'm not the 'crazy woman who reverted back to her childhood and painted a racing stripe in her bedroom.'



If you're visiting from Design*Sponge, please feel free to 'look' around and see what we're up to these days. Our new to us house is in need of tons of updates so there will be plenty to read and check in on in the future. I'd love for you to become a familiar face around here.

Once again, I'm humbled that the crazy awesome team at Design*Sponge showed a little love to our bedroom makeover today. Hopefully, we'll have lots more content for them in the near future!
