About Me:

Hey there! I'm Ellora, an avid DIY'er, home decorating crafty chick, and a party planner wannabe with a slight addiction to iced lattes and sweet tea! . My blog is where I share all my adventures and latest projects.

Favorite area of home improvement:

I love working in the yard, and trying to find ways to make spaces more functional. I believe in working with what you have to create a beautiful home on a budget.
