Living Large In A Small House, LLC | Saturday Shopping with Me

I love books! It has either been too hot or too wet to go outside this past week. On a cloudy day, I love to light a candle and curl up with a good home decor book.

They inspire me. I get ideas from someone else’s decorating style on how I can put my own spin on my home decor.
