Have we mentioned that we have a crawlspace? Well, we do. And with that crawlspace comes a crawlspace door. Er, more like a trap door. Effectively a piece of plywood set into the floor. Not very attractive. We tried to cover it up with a rug…only to wash and dry said rug…until it shrunk too much [...]

Last week we whipped up a painted burlap banner. We tied burlap to our ladder-back chairs for Easter and used it as a runner under our centerpiece. Now [...]
