Thanks so much for all the lovely comments about the room makeover at my parent's house. Before I share all of the source and project info, I wanted to chime in with a quick post about one of the most mentioned elements - the "new" grey door. It's one of my favourite...
It's done. Finally! If I hadn't initially proclaimed it would likely take me forever to finish this room re-do, I might be feeling even more sheepish than I currently do sharing the reveal over a WHOLE YEAR from when it commenced. Yikes! Am I really that sluggish?...

I’m super excited to announce that my Tribal Sideboard is now up for grabs! From now until September 4 anyone can bid for a chance to take this lovingly refurbished one-of-a-kind baby home! Remember, this is an up-cycled piece, so isn't perfect, though it is jam...
