I have this round oak table, that we picked up about three summers ago for $50. it had seen some better days, I think maybe it spent the last 10 years or so of its life stored in a basement or garage, it was rough. I painted the table white awhile back with chalk paint,…
Every year as the weather changes and the temperature rises outside, sleeping with my big comfy down comforter becomes an issue. I get hot during the night, so I kick it off, then when I get chilled, I find that my duvet is now on the floor at the foot of the bed. The weight…
