Today we installed the Shaker peg board near the window. Shakers used peg boards like these to store extra chairs up out of the way, (often upside down like we've done here). The chairs are by Brian Braskie of North Woods Chair Shop (Canterbury, NH). The blankets, woven of mohair, silk, and wool, are by Patricia Burling of Willow Weave (Monroe, CT).
