The Ultimate Sports Room
I was doing a staging consultation on a lovely home this week. All was as expected, until I entered the basement. There, before my startled eyes was the most thorough tribute to any football team I had ever seen. Now I'm not a big sports fan, but I felt the energy in this space as if I had 50 ...
