Two interior decorator friends, Janelle and Crystal, and my artistic sister-in-law, Anna, have a gift of making beautiful spaces. They've long inspired me to find my own style.
After some perusings through style books, many trips to local thrift stores, and a few lucky yard sale/Craigslist finds our living room is starting to come together. It feels good to have a nice space!
