Tomorrow, I’ll be going live on Instagram with Cambria. I’ll be styling my floating shelf over the wet bar 3 ways and also sharing a sneaky peek of a real behind-the-scenes look at the modern kitchen makeover on a budget.

Presently, my bedroom is a storage space for the home office ORC. Yup, I’m doing the whole Mari Kondo technique, and let me tell you, there’s so much that doesn’t bring me joy.
