I'm particularly proud of this room. A couple of years ago, Alejandro did this room. That is, he had the vision, made the design, found the colors, painted, cut, glued and built. He built that fully functioning wall fountain from scratch using scrap pieces of things he'd saved here and there.
The dining room with nothing on the table except my work binder:
Aaaaah, look at all that clean counter space. Yes, of course our house always has a soft glow to it. Doesn't yours? Ahem.
And then...
...there's Christmas.
