I would probably remove my pole for company if it were in my living room. Two reasons. #1 being I have a tiny house. #2 being that I would hate for company to feel uncomfortable in my home. I hate when people “force” their world on you. Just because I believe something to be fantastic doesn’t mean I expect others to. No reason to stick it in their faces. I believe that we live in a world where we tend to force others to accept our beliefs and visa versa. Just because you put your pole away doesn’t mean your are feeling shame or trying to hide yourself. It just shows a respect for others. JMHO.
Beautiful bird cage Caribbean. You’re husband is a talented man.
