ORC Fall 2019 : Bedroom Refresh-Week Two
Hello Friends, and welcome to week two of the One Room Challenge. The painting process is well underway. It’s quite a fussy thing to deal with when you can’t empty the room of the furniture. I’m having to move pieces from one area of the room at a time to paint the walls and the […]
