February 4, 2015

I love a good house tour, don’t you?  And especially a house tour where I feel like I feel like the style and furnishings is attainable for me.  While I love taking a peek at fancy, expensive homes – that just won’t ever be in our budget or lifestyle and isn’t even my style.    So […]
