Saturday Stimuli: Daybeds

June 2, 2012 1 Comment

I've been giving a lot of thought of making the guest bed into a look more like a daybed. The motivation is a little selfish (since I can turn it into a reading space when it's not being used by a guest, which is most of the time) but these images certainly sway me!Source: … [Read more...]

Welcome

Hey there - I'm Sarah.
Can't cook. Don't have time to clean. Full time day jobber, weekend grad student, and power tool collector. I have a knack for getting paint all over ME instead of all over the wall. But I'm determined (hissy fits and all) to turn a 1980s eyesore into a young, modern home. Join me for all of the fun and frustration... and bring your paint brush! More>>>
