I love what fabrics can do to bring texture to a room. And I love how banners can make any space feel more cheerful. A banner made of fabric creates such a happy union! Every single one of my kid’s rooms has a banner of some kind. Today I’m going to focus on the banner […]

Organize Your Paper Mess {OBC WEEK 5}
