You Reap What You Sow....

We have finally reaped the bounty from our roof garden!! And what a bounty it was!! Just see the pic

Rugs of Orion

We drug out some old climbing rope and made a nifty lil' rug out of it. All we had to do was roll the rope up and duct tape the bottom! On another front, if you have never watched Dual Survivors on History channel you should give it some serious consideration. And in case you didn't know, wombats have very slow metabolism. It takes them about 2 weeks to digest their food, but, and this is extremely important, they can run up to 25 mph for 90 seconds!

So this is our other project. This rug is two different climbing ropes (one red, one white) woven together. This one has been a bit of a challenge and we are getting really close to having it done. It's been a work in progress for over a year.

The Table Is Finished!!

The Table Is Finished!!

So when I (Carrie) came home from work today this beauty was sitting in our kitchen! Doesn't it look fabulous? Nathan used sandpaper to rub the table down with lemon oil to take off all of the glitter from the preschoolers. The fabric on that bench is one of our table cloths that we are going to put on both benches, super cute right? If If I didn't know better than I do I would think this was straight from Anthropologie (only my favorite store in the whole wide world)

We have been inspired by our new addition to have people over for dinner more often. So if you would like to eat a meal here one night just let us know!

I just have the most amazing, hot, handy husband in the entire world. THANK YOU NATHAN!

This Looks Nice!
