Our bedroom was in order. Now it’s not. What happened? Laundry. Simple as that.

I am so happy that I decided to do the Apartment Redress series. It has really kept me motivated to keep improving my space. I think that if it weren’t for you, not only would I have not started reupholsterying this chair, there is no way I would have finished up in just a week! Amazing!
