Tips for Decorating your Bedroom on a Budget
I haven't shared our bedroom on my blog in a while (HERE) and the reason for that is the fact that I loved it just the way it was. I still do but have recently decided to add a little bit more color to the mix. Blue has crept into the rest of our home so naturally I wanted a little bit more blue in our master bedroom as well. I thought today's Beautiful Bedrooms Tour blog hop hosted by Tammy at ...

rearranging the living room
I want to welcome everyone coming from Marty's house tour (HERE) today. I'm so happy that she organized another spring tour hop for this week. It's always a lot of fun.

For this budget DIY I transformed an old leather belt (or piece of scrap leather) and a cheap wooden towel ring from the home improvement store into a unique and stylish hand towel ring.
