NEW FLOORS :: A LABOR OF LOVE
So, we have lived in our home for about 7.5 years and right when we moved in, we just ripped up our carpet and kept the wood floors as they were, just polishing them every once in a while. About a year ago, I painted all of the trim white in our house and thought…

UP-CYCLED WIRE BASKETS
