The tradesman managed to save one of the old caps for me (the other one cracked when they cut it off).

I have a love hate relationship with my woodstove. It heats my entire tiny cottage, which I love, is cozy and beautiful in the winter. I hate that the ugly black pipe goes up into the ceiling and sure wish I could come up with a way to decorate the wall behind it. I've tried everything, just can't get it right.

Wood Stoves vs. Fireplaces

I know this is dumb, but in my childhood homes we had squirrels get in the basement on a regular basement. An old-fashioned, bugs-bunny style trap, with a box propped up by a stick we held a string to worked every time. A little bait under the box, the squirrel goes in, you pull the string and the box goes down, trapping it harmlessly. Then we slid a large sheet of cardboard underneath the box and carried them outside. No problem.

Credenza envy, that is a beautiful piece works so great with everything. Love the art wall and the nice flow of neutrals though out. I love the sensible floor plan.

I would love to see more India entries as well, ones with lots of fabrics. India has some of the most beautiful textiles in the world.
