I have been searching high and low for a lamp with an "old" looking patina that is big enough to make a statement in a smaller space but is IN stock and affordable. Since this post is DIY you and guess I didn't find what I was looking for but decided to take matters into my own hands since we don't have ANY lighting in our bedroom since I switched our scone lights into the Kitchen several Months ago. Old houses dont actually have overhead lighting for whatever reason, so our master has no ...

How to make Sourdough Sandwich Bread
I have recently completely switched over to ALL homemade sourdough bread for our family.
