3 Things That Make a House a Home
It’s a funny thing, being an empty nester. The house is quiet, there’s no sporting events to go to constantly, less people visit, the fridge has way less food, and (the saddest part) there are way less happy distractions from what you are doing. However, I have to admit, I pictured my life less chaotic than it currently is.

Warehouse Sale
Do you remember when you were a kid, the anticipation of Christmas morning? What would you find under the tree? Will they like your gift? Will you wake up to an ideallyic snow (none for me in Southern California)? Well it’s just about Christmas morning at Bungalow 47 again! Our Warehouse Sale is coming next weekend, Friday and Saturday May 10-11. It’s our occasional sale where you will find ah-mazing things to paint and finish yourself. I think I have mentioned before that we are somewhat hoarders (in the best kind of way, of course!). This sale first began because we were overflowing with finds that we had not painted yet. The great thing about the sale is that we only present merchandise no one […]
