This is the tale of how a sad and neglected spare room/junk room got its mojo back by acquiring a gold ceiling and becoming my new office. Read on to find out what we did and for a quick room tour as well. When we moved in this room was given to the 18yo (that…
Something a little different this Monday as the house has been through some changes since you last saw it and I thought I would show you around some of the updates. I will be writing about the individual rooms in more details over the next couple of weeks so save up any questions you have…
