Before I had my bedroom closet updated,

I thought having a “walk-in” closet was the only way my husband and I could share a closet. Turned out, we just needed a more efficient storage solution. Our old closet was a typical “reach in” closet that you would see in older homes. Here’s how it looked after we emptied all contents out.

I’ve always wanted to hang wallpaper in my home.

I found this ornate mirror on Craigslist for $80 last winter,

and I was thrilled when the seller said okay to my $50 offer, as the mirror was in great shape. It had no scratches and no broken parts, so other than it’s color, it was in perfect condition.

Taking a vintage milk can off the farm and giving
