We are really focusing on our budget right now, and even though in general I’m not a spender or a shopper, I do get the urge to buy fun stuff sometimes! I thought that it might help me curb those cravings to share my current wish list. :) home // some things take time print : my next home project is going to be building a gallery wall in our bedroom.
