How to Help Save Your Furniture From Your Kids

June 17, 2015 by Cara 2 Comments

Hey there everyone!! Happy Wednesday!! With summer in full swing and our little ones running amuck, I thought today would be a great day to share with you a simple way to protect that beautiful furniture you build (or buy)!!

How to Help Save Your Furniture From Your Kids

Now, this is not a fix-all, we still have the occasional hammering or dropping something on the table that gives us lovely dents, but I don’t mind a little wear and tear…heck, I love furniture that is supposed to be distressed!!
