I'm in love with your cats (as I too have two) and ADORE your house. You have done an amazing job and are inspiring me to thrift even more than I do already! Right now, everything I'm finding is being stored in my mother's basement until my husband and I buy a new house. I have tons of projects to do but want to wait to see what the new house dictates stylewise and then I'm going to go on a painting/reupolstering/reimaging mission with everything I've been buying :) <br /><br />Keep on rocking it and I look forward to reading more about your projects :)<br /><br />Thanks!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733475134852258088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-56712831378299279452014-09-03T15:41:40.509-04:002014-09-03T15:41:40.509-04:001) There is no cat quota

Accidentally, of course. :)<br /><br />Oh, and thank you for the tip about the Command hooks. I've always been curious if those work.

So, occasionally these days a company will reach out to me and see if they can feature a product on my blog. I usually say no (so as to not bombard you guys with constant advertisements), and only say yes when it's something reeeeeally good that I know my readers will want to know about or if it's just something too good to pass up. Knowwhattamean? Hope that answers your questions. :)LiveLoveDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224434977869141538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-62084851863261066762014-07-01T14:03:33.115-04:002014-07-01T14:03:33.115-04:00I can't even.

Even some faux greenery would do. Also, if you haven't tried those Command Picture Hanging Strips & Hooks you are missing out. They are great! They won't damage your walls, hold all types of art, mirrors,etc and best of all, no hammer required! You'd be real surprised at how much weight they hold. Check them out online or places like Lowes. Anyway, keep up the great work! I can't wait to see what is next! Oh, here's some kitty kisses! Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291524395846444805noreply@blogger.com
