Olive Green Guest Room Makeover Vision Board
I just signed up for the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge, so today I have a couple vision boards for our olive green guest room makeover!

Living Room Mood Board with Mid Century Flair
Creating a living room mood board has not been an easy task. It’s the first room you see when you walk in the front door. It’s the room that we will likely use most often. And it only has 1 wall. I love the openness and the picture window, but designing an open concept room is new for me! All…
