Of course it was first purchased to be in my entry in a previous home, so I had a place to pull off my boots....but there's no entry in this home, so it's been shifted around all over the place!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-57783330330093658282017-05-01T12:48:53.385-04:002017-05-01T12:48:53.385-04:00Thanks, Jenn!

I am glad that you got it the way you like it. The pillows get thrown on the floor sometimes when we have company. I don't have many because they just seem to get in the way but they look so pretty on yours.
