    They ALL could! But specifically, it’s time to do something to the master bedroom to make it more of a retreat and less of a place to hide things when we’re cleaning the rest of the house for company.

    looking for something different.

    Master bedroom (which is small ). Why is that always the room often most neglected when decorating? 🙂

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yard sales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me?
