I’ve saved the best dive item for last. Definitely my favorite, and most likely to last through my decor edits. This old kitchen window has so much character. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a window that opens like this? See that pink arrow pointing to that road burned leg? Fell off my … Read More

If you would like one of these padded camera strap covers for your (or a friend’s) DSLR camera, leave a comment … Read More
