One happy windowsill.....

it was always meant to be!
From the very first sight
The cut off top of this antique candlestick holder has no foot
and has been integrated into the windowsill.
Even at late summer evening dinners,
the dark finally falls for some short couple of hours.
Standing strong!

Spreading some love... Here is a free download to make a set of Inside Outside Fruit Cards . Simply print, laminate, cut and round the corners for a fun toddler activity. Toddlers do not learn from looking at pictures! They learn about their world by experiencing it through taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell. Please, please, please use these cards in the way they were designed to be presented... Choose one card, and then go out and buy that fruit from your grocer... Spend some time with your toddler looking at the fruit, touching it, smelling it...cut it open and taste it, tell her what it is called... When she has had enough, bring out the pictures and say "outside" and "inside". When you have presented more than one fruit in this way...you can play the card game...

Make a book of favourite people using a soft photo album, or a custom board book Your baby might begin teething at this age – offering toys that they can chew and bite will he...

2009 Southern Accents Showhouse

Image
Since this is my first post for my new blog, I thought I'd start with an exciting project we are doing in Fort Worth.  My company was chosen as builder of the 2009 Southern Accents magazine showhouse.  The architect is Larry Boerder of Dallas and the interior designer is Joe Minton of Fort Worth. The house is being built in the new Riverhills development in the center of Fort Worth which is part of the Edwards Ranch that was established in 1848. The image above is the rendering of the house.  It is a Cotswold style, stone house with a slate roof.  It will have over 8,500 square feet of living space with 7,605 square feet of heated and cooled area and will exemplify an English style house built in the Cotswold region of England, appearing as it has been added on to over the years.   While we are busy building the house now, we have been working tirelessly with Larry Boerder and Joe Minton to make sure the house is exactly how it should be.  Larry has spent numerous hours on the det...
