Here's a little nugget of gold to tide you over...

Graduation and a Client's Before/After

Posting will be light this week, but for a good reason: my wonderful husband is graduating from law school on Thursday!!! We have family in town for the festivities and we're also gearing up for our big move, so please forgive my absence while I'm enjoying our last few experiences in Cambridge. {tear}


In other news, I was so excited when my eDecorating client/fellow blogger, Kari, emailed me pictures of her great bench before and after. Check out the instructions on her (adorable) blog, here.
