Sat. will be a great day for you!
oh man. i love those photos..those big overstuffed couches are just my dream....
It's going to be great. I cannot wait for the "after" pictures! Maybe it will give me the necessary inspiration to get off my but and finish my lower level. It's done and ready to go I just need to pull together the accumulated pieces. Good stuff! xo

White in the basement - couldn't think of anything better! I thought I wasn't much of a shabby chic girl, but after seeing it used so well in all the bloggy homes, I'm unable to resist. Look forward to seeing your room..Rachaelxx
