apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

After moving into our new home in April, there were several items left behind that we inherited. Most were in the garage and have come in quite useful: the rakes, ladders, bins and shelving we didn't otherwise have. Others we couldn't wait to dispose of (properly, of course): old paint, toxic cleaners and weed killers, destroyed brooms. And yet one item has lived on: the old, filthy front doormat.
