Posted August 10, 2016 · in Before&After, Decor, DIY, Flooring, Furniture · 7 comments Man it feels like I've been working on this room for ages and if you follow me on Instagram you've seen a few sneak peeks already! Tons of work was done earlier this year but it has taken a while for me to get my butt in gear and get the finishing touches and last DIYs finished.

Sorry for all the time between posts, where did May go?! I've heard that many of you are waiting to see the final results but this is not that post!
