It is crazy to be doing this in real time with people watching...but it's nice for everyone to get to see all the ridiculousness that goes into a room makeover. It's not as easy as it always looks when you just get to see a "before and after" - there sure is a lot going on in between. So glad you're here with me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071747660697812122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937548132957624854.post-22534525779436418182015-04-22T23:00:10.612-05:002015-04-22T23:00:10.612-05:00LOL, thanks Tara!
