We have furniture!!

Well, at least we have one piece of furniture...


This love seat was hand-crafted by a local carpenter.  He's a great guy and does fantastic work. 

Here's the process:
First, we found a design we liked and placed our order.
Then the carpenter bought the lumber and let it dry for two weeks.
Then the carpenter built the love seat.
Then we bought the "cushions" (square pieces of foam) at another shop.
Then we went to another shop to choose and buy fabric to cover the foam.
Then we found a tailor to sew the cushion covers for us.
Then we borrowed a van to bring the final product to our home.

We love it!

Next on the list...a dining table and chairs.  That will be fun!

  1. It's beautiful. That process would cost thousands over here. Elsewhere it's just a way of life. Great work on making your house a home! We miss you guys!
