Yesterday was a big day for my little old blog, I finally reached 1000 official followers!
Even though not everyone that reads my blog is an official follower, reaching 1000 on Google friend connect was a big thing for me.
Why is it so rewarding to see that number get bigger and bigger?
I even took a screen shot of it…
Yes, I am a dork.
It is so fun watching this blog slowly grow, it almost feels like my second child.
Thanks to everyone that sticks around, I sure do appreciate it!
I also started a project yesterday.
I kinda feel like I have been in a DIY rut lately and it felt so good to get back at it.
Remember Nancy’s amazing DIY Dorothy Draper rast hack?

Well, I combined the two and made my own!
Here is a sneak peek…
I have been wanting to make A DIY Dorothy Draper chest f-o-r-e-v-e-r, so I finally bit the bullet and got started!
It is taking a little longer than expected ( I still have 5 out the 6 drawers left to paint) but I hope to have them finished soon and I will share all the details!
Yay for a good day 🙂

Hi Danielle,
I just came across your blog and love it! I’m also a lover of interiors though I appreciate them from behind the camera mostly. I just saw you featured in Loni’s Adore Mag… I did some photography work for her mag when I was living in Australia. Tis a small world.
All the best and on behalf of all of us penny-pinching design lovers, keep up the great work!
