After enduring endless hours of ridicule from Levi regarding the sad state of my feet, I have decided to dedicate my Saturday morning to fixing them up. I briefly consider using my palm sander. Instead, the kids & I drove to town to pick up the necessary tools. Poor Violet has not been in public for […]
I have dreams for my dining nook that involve an antique leather sofa. In the meantime we have these old things. I couldn’t justify throwing out these perfectly sturdy frames.
