My Easter post will be coming soon, but I’d love some input from all of you brilliant bloggers and readers about this lovely (read sarcasm) piece of furniture. We inherited a decent table and four of these chairs a few months ago (Don’t you love how I never pay for things?). The table is oak, […]

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I sometimes refer to my parents as the “miracle workers” because when they come to town, miracles happen. Projects that have only been visions in my mind are miraculously brought to life. And things get done in a fraction of the time […]
