I bought this beautiful entertainment center/armoire at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and I just love the character. Very simple lines, and perfect for storing all my costume jewelry. AND IT WAS A STEAL!!! The tag read $45, but it was 60% off. I paid $18 for this beautiful piece of furniture. You just can’t […]

MASTER CLOSET REVEAL ~ Organized, Clean, & Beautiful!
I’m so excited to show you our new master closet. But before I do, a little reminiscing. Here’s the before. Very disorganized and cluttered. I hated walking into it every day.
