Check that is… I love this simple black and white check fabric or rug! It seems to pull a room together and I never seem to tire of the look. It's classic to me. When I found these rugs at Kirkland’s, let’s just say there was no hesitation with the purchase. I’ve had so many sweet friends from Instagram ask me where they were from. Sadly, it looks like they don’t carry them at Kirkland’s right now, but I did find these on Amazon! Hallelujah!!! I’ve machine washed mine abo

Occasionally, a piece will need to be sanded or even primed, but that’s usually rare. It covers well. Sometimes one to two coats are all you need. Quick drying time is a

I’m a big fan of old, chippy, antique fireplace mantles… many of us are right?! When we redesigned our bedroom this year, I ended up with a large blank wall and knew I wanted to add something cool to bring some sophisticated ambience to the space.
