This post has been a long time coming It’s only been a year and a half since I posted this before picture: This picture is actually rather flattering to the table. The top was very sticky and worn, and by the time we got around to refinishing it, much uglier than it appears to be…
For the next couple of weeks, as the clock ticks down on the shopping days left until Christmas, I’m going to be sharing some meaningful gift ideas. Many will be homemade or semi-homemade, but they will all be thoughtful and will hopefully help you figure out what to do for the last few people on…
