Subject: Summer netting
Would anyone know where I can get historical information on dressing a home for summer? We have done this in previous years covering the large mirrors, gilded frames (excluding plain wooden frames), furniture, etc. However, I would like to see some documentation on exactly what would have been covered. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
