CHINA HUTCH Makeover DIY

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Today I am sharing a fun home project we did during quarantine, our china hutch makeover DIY. My dad pasted down to me his grandma’s old china hutch for my dining room. I’ve always loved the quality of antiques and older furniture especially when they have family history. This beautiful hutch has been in the family for over three generations and was still in great condition. I had been on a hunt for a year now for a china hutch that also doubled as a buffet/server for my dining room. When my dad showed me this beautiful piece that had been stowed in the garage for years now, I knew this was the one. It was a little outdated and didn’t fit my overall interior decor, so I decided to give it a little makeover. Check out our china hutch makeover DIY below!

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! So much has happened in the past couple weeks. With the coronavirus spreading, a lot has changed in our social life. Jayden is out of school for a month, things have closed down, travel plans postponed, and we have been doing our part to practice social distancing.

Hi friends,

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Today I am finally sharing my tips on growing long healthy hair.

Large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag Review

Hey friends! Hope you are doing well! Today I am finally sharing my full review of my  large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag Review. This has been one of my most requested review since I got this bag in Capri, Italy, and it has become one of my most treasured bag. I’ve always wanted a Prada bag but was not a fan of some of their more popular styles. But when they came out with this style I fell in love and I knew I had to have this one. I love how beautiful and classic this bag looks and the fact that isn’t very common. In fact it’s rare that you find this bag in the U.S Prada stores. Check out more of my story on how I came about this bag in Italy and the pros and cons of my Large Prada Diagramme Shoulder Bag.
