The Mort Family & Mini Makeovers
Continuing with the Mort Family Project, I want to share some quick mini makeovers to some accessories purchased at my local Goodwill.

The Mort Family & Framed Christmas Ornament Art

The Mort Family aka My First Client
Part one
Last spring I had my FIRST client!! Someone other than my family liked my house enough to invite me to help them with theirs!! WOW! Making changes to a house that was not my own was exciting and scary at the same time. I was going to be helping the Mort Family with updating a few rooms in their new house. Michael & Jenna Mort are the most adorable family, they have 4 boys and were expecting a baby girl! Jenna knew what style she liked and wanted my help to tie it all together.
