It's such a great look and they are so practical. My favorite part is that they give you privacy but don't block out all of the natural light. Merry Christmas to you Steve!

If you're thinking about shutters at the new house, look up Shutterworks in Lewiston, Maine. I had them make me six pairs that I hope to be installing after the holidays. I was a little nervous doing custom long distance but I just made the trip up to pick them up last week and they're beautiful. They'll also paint in whatever paint you want so you can do no VOC which I know is important to you.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to your whole gang!An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-35609829170716472712014-12-23T11:41:06.165-05:002014-12-23T11:41:06.165-05:00I found a 'greener' rug pad, although can&...I found a 'greener' rug pad, although can't remember it's name. For the big living room/play room, I used a wool rug pad for the best indoor air quality. As for the rubber that comes underneath, I don't know if there's a way around that. It's frustrating for sure but I try and practice 'do as much as you can' philosophy.

It's by Geraldine McCaughrean. We love the book, "Bear Stays Up For Christmas," and, "Accidental Christmas" is great (has flaps to lift) and Nancy Tillman's wonderful Christmas book, "Spirit of Christmas." And, "Snowmen at Christmas" is really cute! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I have two boys (3 and 6) and a husband (who naps on our sofa a lot), and our vintage sofa that has a yellow and cream fabric is getting a little dingy. Um, I should probably get gray linen to get our sofa reupholstered lol!
