When we moved into our house 4 years ago, the inspector told us that because of the way it was constructed and vented, we should always expect to have high humidity levels in our hours. No worries, we thought. That was something that doesn’t bother us as much. However, this summer it’s been getting almost unbearable. It has rained sooo much this summer – we’re on track for having one of the wettest years on record. Needless to say, we’re…
Today I did something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time… It involved spray paint and a project from my Young House Love (YHL) book! I gave our old brass chandelier an update. It seems that I don’t have a “before” picture, boo. Well here is the closest I have: One of the glass globes broke a while ago, so we took them all off. First I collected my spray paint.

There is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long, long time, and have never gotten around to it… until today! My bedroom is a WRECK. We pretty much haven’t touched it since we moved in, so the dresser has been piled high with miscellaneous things, the closets were completely disorganized, and our floor was pretty much covered by clothes.
