I love this tutorial. It's has some very helpful ideas on lighting and furniture upholstering that I really need. I am definitely saving this for later and sharing it with everyone I know. Thank you.

I'm going to have to say my fave decor are those big entertainment systems that double as bookshelves. As someone who has WAY TOO MANY books to manage, I've always wanted one to not only showcase my obsession but also to store my fave reads.

I will for sure be saving this for the next time I move.
