And then we kept on using it, as… Continue Reading “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. ~ Boyd K. Packer”

Before & After
Like the rest of the house, the bedroom needed a small makeover. Just a bit to make it cozy. We are still on the hunt for fitting mattresses, but we’re patient. 🙂

When we bought the house, the interior was… well… let’s say “functional”. One week after it was ours, I had a week of vacation that I spent in the house to make it more “Martin&Jenny”. We wanted to reuse as much as possible. The… Continue Reading ““If it’s the right chair, it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable in it.”-Robert De Niro”
