In case you’re wondering, there are Home Depot locations in Manhattan (I haven’t seen any Lowe’s locations here) but, with everything going on, we’ve been trying to be way more intentional about shopping at local businesses in our neighborhood when we can. We wanted to keep this as simple and budget friendly as possible, so we picked up some trim from our local hardware store – Mike’s Lumber Store, if you’re in the Upper West Side.
