Functional "Decor"

Sometimes things have to take priority over "pretty." This time it's trying to keep young Mr. Henry from visiting the upstairs, leaving little surprise wet spots or piles on the carpet.


Hubby came up with this easy-to use, hopefully temprorary, barrier.  Its accordion folds allow us to push back only a portion in order to get up or down the stairs, then insert the end right back behind the encyclopedias... that I recently dug out of storage to put in our new library.  (Books back on the floor!)

Thinking...

Unfortunately, the little smarty has found another route...  ;-)

...and through!
