I have just joined the National Blog Posting Month! I’ve felt a bit burned out on blogging and so for this blog (I have another blog) I thought I’d start posting a month’s worth of 50’s decorating ideas.
I also just ran across this article and thought you all might be interested: Remodeling – Save on Remodeling Costs – love to hear if you agree/disagree.
