I love a good Craig’s List find, while picking up a dresser the owner asked if we were interested in any other furniture. Long story short after two trips we ended up buying 2 chairs, 2 stools, and the dresser. One of the chairs was this lovely green and plaid number screaming to be made […]
Just Hangin’ Around; {Up-cycled Chandelier }
Matt and I decided a cost effective way to replace two very blah chandeliers in our house was to buy used ones and Up-Cycle them.
