Master Bedroom Overhaul

11/30/2015

Master Bedroom Overhaul with Industrial Touches at www.happyhourprojects.com

So, it all started with paint. My partners at Nautica suggested I try a new color from their new line of Nautica At Home Paints.  Our bedroom has needed it quite desperately from the day we moved in, but the opportunity to try their new collection of paint-and-primer in one was a great time ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
