LE CHIC MODE

THE  ALL -IN-ONE  ROOM The Plan There is one room in my home that we have needed to work on for sometime.  It was a combination of bedroom, workspace with a desk, a shelf and cabinet unit,  4 bookcases  that were overfilled and not stable, and small sofa  and a complete mess.

PILLOWs are a another must have,  a fluffy pillow will make sleeping even better. Extra BLANKET or THROW just in case.   THE LITTLE EXTRAS EXTRA SLIPPERS & TOWEL these I like to place in a wicker basket ,  along with a bar of soap for personal use.  P...
