If there’s one thing most people could use more of in their homes, it’s room. This is especially true in the bedroom.

According to the dictionary, it’s a rectangular channel cut across the grain of a board. In this case, within the edge of the board.
Of course, four legged quality-control managers can help keep you motivated.
