You can also see what this room looked like a week ago! We are going for a cozy, Parisian parlor with an industrial twist.

The last time I mentioned the magic of Pinterest on my Instagram account, so many of you were curious to learn more! Pinterest has been a game changer for my blog.

In December of 2018, I made the commitment to get serious about this blog.
