Last-Minute New Year’s Decor Idea: Hanging Fabric Hoops
Whenever you’re out shopping, especially in boutique stores, do yourself one little favor: look up.
When I’m somewhere new, I’m often paying more attention to things at eye level, and risk missing out on some great decor ideas to bring home with me. So, when I spotted these in a local shop, I thought I’d point them out as a good reminder:
