This Room Has Gone to the Dogs…

…and I love it! When we did the addition I knew that I wanted a mudroom/laundry room on the first floor. (My days of wanting to go down into a 100 year old creepy basement are long gone.) But there was one more thing I was hoping this room could be, and that’s all thingsContinue reading “This Room Has Gone to the Dogs…”

We Are on a Roll (a Toilet Paper Roll)…
