This past weekend I started decorating my house for Christmas. Every year we get a fresh tree and it makes the house smell amazing.

Upcycled Vase
The thrift store offers so many fun glass vases that it often doesn’t make sense to go buy a new one when you can customize your own for so cheap! I finally caved and decided to try the viral DIY texturized paint trick that’s been circulating pinterest recently (I know, so basic). After a quick […]
