Knock-Off Ballard Inspired Curtains
I have had a bit of a love affair with a jumbo damask stencil that I recently purchased! I've used it all over my home, most recently in my master bathroom. These curtain panels, inspired by Ballard Designs , were created with a stencil that you might recognize. A very hardworking stencil! If you're new here, and you haven't seen the stenciled wall I painted in my master bedroom, you need to go check it out. It took an entire day to paint and stencil a wall in my master bedroom. It was a lot of work but worth the effort; we absolutely love it! Affiliate links are included for convenience; you can find my full disclosure policy here .

He passed away 5 years ago so I won't be able to wish him a 'Happy Father's Day' anymore. I know I was the apple of my dad's eye...the only daughter, sandwiched between two boys. However, my dad and I didn't always see eye to eye.

Labeling a Vintage-style Bread Box This sponsored post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. This vintage-inspired tin storage canister is from Restoration Hardware. I think it might be one of the only things I've ever purchased directly from their store. I fell in love with it about 10 years ago and Mr. Diy bought it for me. It's not really a bread bin...it's a laundry bin! Yes, the other side says LAUNDRY and it's meant to hold powdered laundry detergent. It comes with a tin scoop and I thought I'd be using it all the time.
