Ooh! I too am about to try and remake my backyard. Can you describe how you erected those fences?

I got the recycled lobster trap rope doormat from Green Depot and it's great. Cheaper than those listed too. It's not shedding but I've only had it about a month, so I have not yet seen what it will be like in the long term. But it seems awfully sturdy.

I just bought a bed from Cozy Pure. I had had a Stearns and Foster mattress and boxspring for 10 years that served me really well and now that it was time for a new one I agonized about which mattress to buy. I ended up buying a relatively inexpensive (compared to their other ones--mine was $1500) Queen Size latex mattress and I love it! Love. Extremely comfortable and I sleep like the dead. Also the customer service was really great, very helpful in helping me to figure out whether a mattress might work for me since I couldn't go down to try it out in person. I also like that they offer vegan options, that I didn't see on other sites like the Organic Mattress Store.

No, don't unpack everything and store it in the closet/dresser. Bedbugs. Definitely do not put your suitcase under the bed. Bedbugs.

Wicked-wicked-wicked people to live in such a house when I do not. I saw bits of the reno on Brownstoner, amazing to see it finished. Also I love subway tiles and it's great to see it put to such wonderful use in 3 separate bathrooms!

I have shutters in my bedroom and love them! I usually close top and bottom, but I can also close the bottom for privacy and leave the top open for light. In the summer I can close the top to block the light and leave the bottom open for a breeze.
