Labor Day Weekend

What was supposed to be a weekend of camping and relaxation, turned into a crazy running around shopping weekend. On Thursday, the weather channel was calling for rain all three days, so we decided that we are fair weather camping people and we should stay home. Instead, we shopped for furniture and carpet for the upstairs in our house.

I found a man on craigslist that builds custom furniture based off of Pottery Barn designs. On our drive down to his house, I snapped a picture of Travis and one of the most annoying car habits he has:

Tapping the tape deck door thingy. Mostly I think he does it just to annoy me.

Then I snapped one of me!

Ok - Back to the furniture!

So this is the copy of what he has in his house:

He will be building us one of these, as well as a night stand (which I didn't get a picture of). The gaps that are on the side of the furniture will not be there on the one he makes for us. The daybed in the picture was the first one he made. I can't wait for us to get it and put it in one of the guest rooms!

Then we went carpet shopping. We went back and forth between Berber and Twist - and ended on twist.

This is a picture of the carpet that our friends Courtney and Matt have in their house:

We will be ordering something similar this week.
