About Alyssa
Hi! I'm Alyssa and I started DIYing and blogging my way through furniture projects, home renovations, and decorating about eight years ago. What started out as a hobby has become a full time job, where I get to share my passion for design and decoration, and write about my life with little Bunny, who is a human girl. Follow along while I share what I know, and try to figure out what I don't.
