2020 Best Black Friday Sales for Home Decor and Furniture

It’s the final tour of the Green Hills House project–secondary bedrooms edition!

Our Green Hills House project sold earlier this summer, and over the next couple weeks I’m going to be sharing the final lovely details and tours with you. Today we’ll start with some wallpaper and butcherblock in the dining room and kitchen.

There are many guesses as to the why behind painting a porch ceiling blue, and I’m sure that the reasons are as regional as the hues.
