The Stegui House

So when we move into a house one of the first things our family needs is a place to set keys, sunglasses, and (if you're my husband) a place to hang your lanyard for work...because if said lanyard isn't hung by said keys then the husband forgets it and has to call his wife to bring it to him and that's always a fun time.
