The honest to gosh-darn-goodie truth about this project? I refinished the hardwood floors shortly after moving in, and in doing a thorough job at the time, I removed a threshold …
Let it be known, sales folk of Anthropologie, that I'm a sucker for your home decor knobs, occassionally picking up a set even without having anything to knob-up, so, you …
