I also love the curved woodwork above the mantle. The verdict is still out on the…

Pink Peony Home and Finds Store Review
Exciting News for Fixer Upper Fans! If you are a fan of the HGTV show “Fixer Upper” then you have probably caught yourself day-dreaming what it would be like to have Joanna Gaines design your space. Maybe if you are like me, you even try to convince your hubby to make a trip to Waco, TX just to visit Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Home store.

When I heard this news, it only took me a few…
