My Renovation Journey – Part 6

Painful while you’re going through it, but you forget all about the pain when you have a bouncing baby at the end of it. Well, all in all, when my house baby was finished, I almost forgot about all the pain. There were some lingering twinges and aches, but they all disappeared after I had my housewarming party with so much champagne.
The 25 Best Father’s Day Gifts from Amazon

The One Room Challenge DIY Art Projects
I finished the One Room Challenge (ORC) two weeks ago, but did not finish some of my DIY Art Projects by the deadline. If you haven’t been following along, I chose to make over my primary bedroom and the challenge was to pick a room and over the course of eight weeks, post your weekly progress with a final reveal in Week 8. Everyone participating in the challenge is on the ORC website. At the end of this post, I’ll link all 8 weeks of posts so you can see the progression and the before and after pictures.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
