home-making

Here are some pictures of our new place and new things: books, reading chair, quilt, balcony. We have turquoise & brown curtains to hang in the living room, but the hanging has become a summer saga. The plaster is too thin, the concrete too stubborn. So the curtains are pending.
The dining area and living room (above) are not as gloomy in real life.

Wes' grandmother made this quilt for us this spring. I helped pick the pieces!

Still getting organized in here...but we've made many a good meal.Just found this set -- for our very narrow balcony -- on clearance.
Wes is sitting in this chair, sipping mate, as we speak.

  2. Looks cozy and inviting! Where did you get your outdoor table/chairs? We are in the market also with a narrow patio :)

  3. Thanks all! Thank you Katie for filling our place with the home-y scent of fresh raspberry pie.

    Lisa, they were in a back aisle in Target!

  4. ooooh! I love the porch and the library sitting room with the awesome chair! what's growing in the pots on the porch? herbs?

  5. Yes! Mint & oregano. I need a bigger pot for the mint, b/c we keep using it up and have to give it 1-2 weeks "recovery" time before the next round of mojitos...
