Recently, I recovered some dingy pillows in my living room and they’ve given our space a nice fresh feeling! I used my trusty sewing machine to make some really simple, fold style DIY pillow covers and every time I make them, I think, “why don’t I do this more often?!” Alas, I cannot take credit for these easy DIY covers.

I wanted his room to be bright, cheerful, and fun. Gino had a lot of input and in the end it turned out just right! View from the doorway. Wall Decal from Etsy. Lots of books to read in a bookshelf from Ikea. I made[Read more]
