A new approach to wine barrel installation

Fontenay Wood has created a flooring made of reclaimed wine barrels. The head of the barrel is used to display the markings that are unique to the wine made inside. This is an interesting option for a winery or if your just a wine lover.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Yes, I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but it can make a statement in the most minimalistic environment. At only $75 how bad of an investment can it be really? I like it for a garage installation. Design and taste are subjective. There is no such thing as bad taste only taste.

Ahhhh, outdoors are for lounging!

I am in love with this intimate scene. It feels like you just stumble upon it in this lush surrounding. I want to curl up on the sofa and share a glass of wine with my husband.

Summer Bliss?

With summer here all I want to do is be outdoors. After three months of renovation to the yard and a baby born about 3 weeks into it I can now hold my head up when inviting friends over. Although there is much more work to be done I'm posting the progress photo for now. More to come later. BTW the upper image is the before so you can see the progress! The reason for the question mark is that my husband would argue that the summer has been blissful since it was his hard work that took us to this resting place. At least now we're both enjoying it!
