Photo Credit: Thread and ButterThread and Butter are two creative New York women-one a crafter and one a jewelry designer-who have given their cooking-and-crafts blog, as well as the majority of their waking hours, over to the renovation of the big, old, wallpaper- and linoleum-smothered house they recently purchased together in Pennsylvania. Check out the first few weeks of their progress (and plenty of tips for removing said wallpaper and linoleum) on their blog, Thread and Butter, and check Shine for regular updates.
