Meditation Room // Guest Room Inspiration
Other than the Reading Room, which is more of a makeshift guest room, we have two actual dedicated rooms for guests. The Beachy Blue guest room was one of the first rooms I finished decorating in the entire house but there’s one final room {shown above} at the very end of the Long Slanted Hallway …

Fun DIY Idea: Strung Moss Balls Garland
I’m not exactly sure what I’d use these for or where I’d hang them, but I love them. They’re probably best utilized at events but they’d be cute strung around a patio or deck or even together with little white lights or maybe hanging from a brown wood fence, or like beaded curteins to create …
