Matt, I would LOVE to see more detailed photos! My husband is pretty handy and we have been searching for a great design for suspended shelves for our kitchen, and yours are the best we've seen by far. Totally gonna copy those! I'm not sure how to reach you, but you can e-mail me at schoenest AT yahoo DOT com. Hope you see this, thanks so much!

Wow. Great space. Could you tell us more about the shelves in the kitchen? I love them. Matt's Modern Minimalist Austin Retreat House Tour Flag this comment	3/1/13 12:35 PM
How about nasturtium? They thrive in poor soil and blossom all over the place. I had great success from seed last year and they climbed all over and into some hedges next to our garden plot with awesome red and orange flowers everywhere. Plus, you can harvest the blossoms and add them to salads. This year, I plan on trying to grow them on my front porch -- they put on such a show last year, and climbed about 8 feet high -- I'd love to have that happening in the front of my house instead of the back.

Two other benefits besides the above-mentioned fun prints, wipes clean, waterproof, and no-nasty chemicals: 1. no hemming necessary, especially for a tablecloth. I just zipped around the edges with scissors to the desired size, and the laminate keeps the edge from fraying. 2. no ironing necessary, if you're willing to wait a few days for the wrinkles to "fall out" of the tablecloth. I guess the weight of the fabric just pulls the wrinkles out over time? Ironing is possible though, if in a hurry! I can confirm laminated cotton works super well as a tablecloth. At my house, it has stood up to daily use for months -- and we scoot our 18 month old right up to it too. It can handle anything he spills on it. We clean it up with some water/vinegar/dishsoap in a spray bottle. Totally worthwhile purchase, even though the price per yard can look expensive.... and I'm really tight with my money!
