The Tennessee Dry Sink (plus more new decorations)

While in Tennessee for Alan’s birth, we went to an estate sale. I bought this marvelous metal dry sink.

I found this picture on pinterest (follow me@Shannon Ranch). I loved it and used it as an inspiration.

Cim offered to paint it for me one day last week. I’m so in love with it. I’d like to use it someday in a real sink application somehow.

We also made a few other changes. We painted the coffee table a similar color and then distressed it a bit.

We also recovered a lamp shade. We ripped off the red material and replaced it with our color. Carolina is also sewing us some new curtains. I’ll post on that later when they’re all finished and installed.

River Fun with the Rodgers

Saturday, June 6 –

We really enjoyed hosting the Rodgers family from Amhearst. They came to pick up some Turkey poults and chicks that Aspen had hatched out for them. We enjoyed homemade pizza (Aspen again) and a fun time down at the river.

The river is one of the best places for kids ever.

Big sand hills along the river’s edge create a climbing challenge.
