How To Tell Your Family’s Story With Your Furniture

The house in which you live always tells a story, no matter what. Your family home will naturally fill with the clutter of day-to-day living, and even if you are careful to keep things tidy, the history of your home and who’s been living in it will exist in the cupboards and drawers.
