When I was asked to join the Beautiful Bedrooms Tour, it got me thinking……I haven’t shared much about our master bedroom. I did share it at Christmas. It’s not an easy room to photograph maybe that is why. Regardless, welcome to the amazing tour!!! I thought a lot about our bedroom, and we spend a…
Way back in August of 2012, I started this blog as a hobby. I was decorating and painting furniture long before I started Our Southern Home. Today’s thrift store makeover goes way back. I love it now more than ever. Welcome to this month’s thrift store makeovers. Be sure to read through to the end…
