That "garage" is up there with the true great things John Fowler and Nancy Lancaster did when everything was "rationed" during the war. That is a talent. <br /><br />We may need to get busy with some of that stuff soon.<br />I am really liking burlap these days.....<br /><br /> More information.......oh pleeeeeeease!

So much better than Diana Phipps style DIY (I once had a sublet apt. in Palm Beach with green and pink floral sheets stapled and tented everywhere a la Phipps. It was seriously frightening, but for the view of the ocean.
