I think I have early dementia. I just can't remember anything, lately. For now, I'll chalk it up to the end of summer, back to school, and my husband. Let's face it...some how...it's always going to be his fault. No worries, he let's me think that...and among other things, THAT is why I love him!

Add the hardware, put the drawers back and try to style your Minty Malm
To see the entire bedroom with two minty malms...go here. I have a few more hacks coming, so stay tuned. Are you working on anything fun or exciting?
