Some of you may remember several years ago when I confessed I was averaging 2 paint jobs (and about 1½ bottles of wine) per room as we settled into our old house. (It can be hard deciding on a paint color, am I right?!) Well, fast forward nearly one decade and one nearly completed house later
GMC + HGTV = I Might Be Dreaming
Seven letters I adore (in addition to G&D and KPR, of course) are GMC & HGTV. I had the incredible honor of being a part of GMC’s 2015 Hidden Treasure Adventure last summer (one of my favorite experiences of my entire blogging career!) and just when I thought I couldn’t be a bigger fan of
