Our rental house sits on a lot of land which is great but one of the features I *didn’t* love were these two cages off to the side. From inside the house, we never see them, but when coming up the driveway, it’s one of the first things you notice. And nothing says ‘warm and welcoming’ like a pair of chain link cages.

Martha’s current desk was a sweet little wooden desk from the flea market we made over a few years ago.
