Our new find!

Patrick and I were out running yesterday, and besides kicking his butt, I came across a major score. Well, semi-major, because it needs a lot of work. Like, the bottom slats need to be replaced, the whole things needs to be sanded and re-stained/re-painted, and I need to learn how to sew. Scary day, people. I don't think I've ever mentioned I asked for a sewing machine two Christmases ago, got it, and haven't even opened the box yet.... hence the italics. Yup, italics. It's crazy like that. 

I am envisioning some sort of second living room with lots of cushiony pillows. Meaning, I have to find more cozy furniture pieces, and pillows (obviously, after photos to come... eventually... when I learn to sew). A girl with a pillow obsession = me. A covered patio/outdoor version of these cozy pillows, perhaps?

Think how much money I could save if I could learn to make my own pillows...
