Entry #521, May 12, 2011
I always enjoying stumbling across house tours to see how a homeowner or designer transformed a space or an entire home from one state to another. Today, I ran across actress, Kerry Washington’s, Green Apartment Makeover in O magazine. While we all think celebrities home’s are already ‘decked out’ the first day they live there, on the contrary.
