I'm not going gray; that's just paint in my hair.
I've been pinning (seemingly random) art that I like to a dedicated Pinterest board for well over a year. The purpose of this was pretty much like any other board: for ideas and inspiration.

As I'm typing today's post, I have six fingers, two toes, and one kneecap (don't ask) splotched with paint.

I'm over at East Coast Creative today sharing a quick Ikea hack that wormed its way into my bedroom hallway. So just for kicks, I asked Jess and Monica to stop by and share a project with all of you. Seriously - these girls rock. I hope you enjoy!Hey there! We're Jess and Monica, from East … [Read more...]
 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>>> |
