I can’t believe I’m only posting update #3 on this project. It feels like it’s been going on forever. Due in no small part, I expect, to the fact that I’m also thinking about how the whole guest room will come together. Continue reading…
Here are a few more of my favorite pictures from the past several years. I took some of them, but I’m sure that D— took some of them as well.
