    Thanks Sandra! this is going straight to my how-to folder–an all in one! And I love how you did a few posts recently (like the fall decor one) about decor. You are such a sawdust girl that seeing your design side and interest in that was a nice treat 🙂 And sorry but I think I need to email you a question about our stringer to our stairs. We can’t do a thing to our walls until we get that figured out—it will be on it’s way with pics to help in explaining.
