Capturing the Joy in Life
When decorating with photography in your home its important to find a nice balance of art, decor, furnishings, and personal photographs.

While I could easily fill ALL of my walls with hundreds of photographs, I instead chose to display my favorite photos of my family and children. I don’t… Continue Reading
My name is Reachel, and I am a fashion consulting, closet analyzing, professorial, blogger at Cardigan Empire.
