I would reupholster it with this...

100TH POST GIVEAWAY AND A THANK YOU!

I started this blog over 2 years ago.  I took a year and a half break though when I was pregnant with my third. I made some very good blogging friends along the way.  One of them is Dayka of Dayka Robinson Designs(formerly Life + Style:  Meditations on Life and Style).  She's a girl after my own heart. We share the same passion for vintage shopping and she has great design style!

I told you she's good. 

Dayka has been there for me since day 1.  I also saw how her passion for interior design came into fruition.  Check out her blog, her shop and pinterest boards to see what I'm talking about.  Thanks for being an inspiration Dayka!(and thanks for the shout out!).  

Today also marks my 100th blog post!  Yay!  As a thank you to you all, I am hosting my very first giveway!

I know a lot of you are animal lovers so I am giving away this cute horse drawing by a local Milwaukee artist...

Here's how to win:

First, you must be a follower.

Second, leave a comment below and tell me where you would hang this art.

I'll announce the winner on Friday, June 15th!

Good luck!
