House of the Day (3/26/2019)
Before we get to the house of the day, here are three photos from another open house with a weathered kitchen table, kitchen stools, and coffee table that I absolutely love: As well, some of you know that I will one day have a cheese cave tucked deep away in my basement - a chamber...
