Hey y'all! Thanks for stopping by! You may recall that our daughter Rachel, her husband Jose' and baby Mariana (our Granddaughter, YAY!) moved in with us last year.

Salvaged from a barn (or some other kinda rough storage), they were two halves of a vanity that he'd done a really quick makeover on when they were rushed for time. Not knowing exactly what they wanted, we went… Continue reading Repurposed Vintage Vanity Sides Into Night Stands
