Well, despite our lack of base boards, or a finished kitchen, or curtains in the bedrooms or any other unfinished to-be-done items in our house, I managed to spread a little Christmas cheer here at Preservation Acres. I really hadn't anticipated on putting out as much as I have (which somewhat-embarrassingly is not even all of it,) because I really didn't think we would be able to ... View Post

Yes, I said white. White I can wash. And bleach. And wash and bleach again. But I am not complaining. I spent $60 on our couch at Goodwill and it is by fair my favorite couch we have ever owned.
