From Hawthorne Bushes to Hooks




We've been wanting to hang some hooks near the front door ... for hats, caps, keys, etc. Nothing has struck our fancy. Corbin kept the trimmings from the Hawthorne bushes around the house ... just in case there might be a need. A couple of weeks ago, Corb carved out some "hooks" out of the Hawthorne bush trimmings, finished them with linseed oil. Now we have some very fun, creative, and handmade hooks in our family room, hanging above the table Corb made (as a surprise while I was away at running camp last summer), upon which sits the cedar box Gary made this fall, and under the picture that Ruth and Joe gave us as a housewarming gift when they visited 8 years ago! I LOVE the whole look :-) !!

We promise pictures of the evolution of the new kitchen as soon as it's finished. We are very close ... last appliances are to arrive this Wednesday. We are also awaiting one cabinet and some accent pulls/knobs. In the spirit of home improvement, we are also in the process of replacing our bathroom floors! It's just fun to own a home!!
