I've lived in homes, apartments, dormitories. Sometimes owned, sometimes rented. On occasion, beautifully appointed. Some of the memories are happy, some not. The details change.
But one thing has not.
Every day of my life, I have shelter.

We covered the base of our Christmas tree in burlap (I purchased a roll of it from Terrain) and now I have a thing for burlap. It's so utilitarian - like those old grain sacks - yet so pretty used in a new way. I stumbled upon these burlap buckets. These would be great all over the house.
