That's where The Morning Sidekick Journal came in.…
As I said in my last post a big reason for my absence from this little corner of the interwebs was because I was moving. I now live in a beautiful, bright Georgian Townhouse with huge sash windows and tonnes of natural light. We're all settled in now but here's how it looked the day we signed our contract and got our keys. I can't wait to share finished room tours! This is the stained…
