From Scratch Doors

 Carpenter had an idea and knew no store-boughten door would do. . . .

 Big slabs of wood dried for months in neat stacks. . . . .

 My part was to pick out the hinges, straps and knobs and locks . . . .I chose black iron. . . of course!

I wouldn't try kicking one in anytime soon. . . . they each weigh about 150 lbs. each! Seriously!
He built and hung all 14 of them and we are all tucked safely inside. I must boast I have quite a talented and hard working Carpenter in all the world for my own.

My Birthday Surprise!!

oh happy day! the living room got filled with furniture that hot July day.

How this blog post got stuck in drafts...well...life has been crazy.

I'll catch up soon with how I've "moved" in now that there is somewhere to sit in there.
Don't you just love that this is slipcover furniture!??! They covers completely are removeable and washable! with a member coupon from http://www.worldmarket.com/  made it super affordable!

and it was very helpful that the day that poppee and erica went to pick them up for me they were having a huge store-wide sale and this furniture was on big discount! whooohooo!
