About Me:
I am a thrifty chick and find beauty in all things used thus you will frequently find me shopping thrift stores and garage sales for my next project. I love cape cod style homes, and my decorating style has a traditional flair with shabby chic/french country/beachy/cottage design. I blog regularly at http://decoratedchaos.blogspot.com and welcome you to visit and follow me on my journey to make our house a home.
