SIMPLE MASTER BEDROOM UPGRADES I don't know about you, but when I spend a lot of time at home, I start picking apart my design choices. I begin to think about what I could change or improve on. I have a creative brain so I think it's something I will always do. I love to solve problems on how to make a space more efficient and beautiful. Besides, isn't there a quote somwhere that says designing a home is always a work in progress. You're never truly done because good pieces don't come ...

Modern Farmhouse: Affordable Fall Decorations
