Read on to find out all about the tile I used, the inspiration, the planning, and how to get the…
The first time I tried a ceiling-mounted curtain track I was kind of hooked. The ease of operation for a curtain track compared to almost any other type of curtain rod is unmatched! There is a reason you see them in every hotel room, they just WORK. So when I was working on my guest…
A few years ago, my dad lost a leg to Vascular disease, and then two short years later, he lost the other one. My Dad was actually still working right up until the pain in his feet started to get so severe that he could no longer function, and a few months later one leg…
