With KonMari by Marie Kondo taking the organizational world by storm, we thought there was no better time than now to share how you can achieve an organized and tidy home using vintage elements. As you can imagine, we’ve collected our fair share of vintage crates, totes, baskets and even shelving units over the years.…
People, it is warm here in sunny AZ. I always thought that since I grew up here, I could tolerate the heat so much better than your average non – native. But throw in a couple years past my 30th birthday (I’m not saying how many) and oh yeah a pregnancy, and I am soooooooo…
