Last weekend I saw these bifold doors and pallet on the side of the road. The doors were really nice. Solid pine. I happened to be driving my husband’s truck, and I threw them in the back. We also had these headboards from an old set of bunk beds that the boys had. The wood was […]

Cotton wool recess. More dangerous than a football.
