Exceptionally Eclectic – What a View

Kelly from View Along the Way is a DIY diva.

From making her own light fixtures and headboard, to an amazing plate wall that wraps around the wall, she’s a girl after my own heart.

  1. Just love her home and all of her fantastic ideas…thanks for presenting her home today Kelly…I never tire of seeing her home…actually, the more I see a particular room, the more I am in awe of her talents and creativity…
    Happy Easter to you and “the other Kelly”….

  2. I covet those dining room chairs, and the laundry room? Well it’s a celebrity all in it’s own right. Those Kelly’s know their stuff. Does it count my mom wanted to name me Kelly? Really. I was Kelly for a day.
