I like how the white brightens up the space, and I enjoy seeing some greenery in the middle of winter. Since Continue reading...

My foot felt like it was improving for a while, Continue reading...

Chalk-Painted Piano Bench for Front Door Mud Room Area

By

Thanks to Chalkworthy by providing the paint and supplies for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are honest and 100% my own.

Not wearing shoes in our house helps keep the carpeting and the house much cleaner! So, I recently chalk painted and stenciled an old piano bench so we have a pretty place to sit! My family and I used to own a piano called an Acrosonic. The piano was great Continue reading...
