The Blogfire of the Vanities

We rarely touch on the subject of home decor here at 365FR, but it really is something that P and I both love. During out "year without" (along with no clothes/accessories/makeup), we were also not allowed to shop for what we called "frivolous home decor". This included anything from picture frames to candles and anything else that we considered pretty. It was a very rough year! P recently wrote about wanting to revamp her dressing room and was seeking advice on where to start. She was thinking about adding more shelves, doing some wallpapering, getting organized and maybe even creating a bedroom vanity. Please come along for the ride as I take a mini-break from the world of fashion and share with you some design inspiration and my fave decor sites. I hope P likes them, too! (Read P's "Re-Organize, Re-Design, Re-Define" post here.)
