Merry Christmas! This year, I bought you a coat. Of paint!
Next year, maybe I’ll actually unpack the boxes that have been cluttering your floor plan since August. No promises, though.
And one more gift! A new (used) set of shutters.
The shutters are cool not just because they hide the grill of the enormous air conditioner that used to command my attention during each meal. Their original home was actually the Annenberg estate in Merion. The owner of the Eagles bought the place and tore everything out, and these shutters ended up in a architectural salvage shop just a few blocks from me.
But hey, there’s nothing wrong with regifting!
These shutters are exactly the same style we hung on your playhouse 20 years ago. Tastefully painted driftwood gray, ha ha.
Oh man, I should have stolen the playhouse shutters for free!
