before + after: two-tone dresser

So right before the hubs and I moved to London (England) for a year, we bought a $40 dresser off friends of ours who were also moving.

the DIY files: a $10 curtain rod

Remember when I stenciled my dining room curtains for the winter pinterest challenge? Well I never actually told you about how I hung them. I know that doesn't seem too exciting, but keep reading if you're interested in not shelling out big bucks for a curtain rod. We hadn't gotten around to putting up any curtains on this window since we moved in, so we were starting from scratch. I shopped ... View the Post
