And isn’t that what music should be?

We love making our homes look, smell and feel in tune with the seasons. The problem? If we raided the Pottery Barn catalog every time a new collection was released, we wouldn’t be able to pay our mortgages. We also seem to generate a bigger collection of “Pinterest fails than we do DIY wins, so the “make-it-yourself” route isn’t always the best bet.
