Well, actually that’s how it looked last year right after I finished with the project.If I’m being honest, right now today, it’s a little bit more of a total mess than that.

Also no pumpkins.But let’s just pretend that I took those pictures 5 minutes ago and that I do have pumpkins in there in August because I’m just a super-prepared blogger like that, K?.Anyway.. We also have a living room in this house!

I love sharing really simple before and after projects like these that are done in the middle of real-life situations and with a real budget.It’s worth it!” So the block of Parmesan made its way into my shopping cart and then I made my way home, excited to be garnishing in style!.
