a cabin in the woods

sometimes, you just have to have faith. a woman in the midwest transported an idea and a dream across state lines, and the outcome couldn't be more charming. her name is theresa and this tiny building was once her grandmother's home. she bought it for $500,  strapped it to the back of a very large truck, and gave it loads of tlc. the process of restoring the cabin has inspired theresa to write a book. i suspect she is pretty pleased with herself considering the end result, and i am sure she could have dismissed her little dream in no time at all. but she didn't.

out & about

{re}design had itself a little outing recently. this here table was set for the Little Green Home Show which took place a few weeks ago. to all those that made it out despite the heat and those pesky, all too-tempting sidewalk sales, it was lovely to meet you. and of course, a special thanks to all those who helped make the whole deal happen.
