From a leaky air mattress on the floor to this! We finally purchased a real mattress: we opted for latex with a bamboo cover. We thought a real mattress (and a comfy one at that) deserved a real bed frame so Scott built one using untreated railway ties. The design was inspired by an article [...]
Working away… This is a typical winter scene in our living room: watching Marty Stouffer videos and sitting by the fire. Scott made the media cubby using left over bamboo plywood (the wood we used for the trim). The back flap of the media cubby comes off, allowing easy access to all the cables and [...]
Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve received huge deliveries of snow. It has been absolutely beautiful outside.
