Perhaps these inspirational ideas seem extra special because it's an extra special week! We hit 1 million page views this past weekend. And today we hit 2,000 Facebook friends in our community. Know what else today is? The 1 year anniversary of Blue Velvet Chair! Join me in a virtual toast to the BVC blog - past, present, and future!




Until next time...

    1. Isn't that bookshelf interesting? You'd have to really work to make sure and have the right size books, etc. Do share with us if you try it - I would love to see and I know others would too.

  9. Except for the Barbies which freaked me out, as well, they were all cool. I really love that first wall unit -- unique and useful!

    Came over from Simply Junebug's Sunday Social.
