Lately I’ve been in a bit of a slump creatively. I’m not really sure why, but I think I’m getting back on track with some new projects and ideas. This weekend I’ll be working on one of them, which involves the little breakfast nook right around the corner from these open shelves in my kitchen. […]
Furniture Tweak: Spray Paint to the Rescue
Did you watch Trading Spaces back when it was first on?
