Grew up in suburban Chicago (yay Chicago, yuck suburbs.) Moved to Missouri for college, not a good fit politically but loved the outdoor activities. Moved to tiny town in Montana to live in a log cabin, amazing but I was 22 and still wanted to go dancing once in awhile. Moved to Eugene and then Portland, where I've been for 10 years. Found my city-boy husband and am now whisking him away to the Cascades to live in a cabin on acreage and have horses (finally!). Still a day trip from Portland though so we'll be able to go eat fabulous sushi and get gourmet cheese sometimes. : )

Love the stenciling with wood glue idea. Great find too with such beautiful wood underneath! Looks fabulous!

Ha, I have hundreds of feet of rolled up rusty deer fence if anyone wants to take it off my hands!

That first one looks like it's from the movie "Cruel Intentions." Not kidding.

I love that story of the shower curtain!

We live in a neighborhood in Portland with high rents and few kids and love it! Much prefer the numerous dogs. Of course on the weekends the suburbanites descend with their giant SUVs and broods of children. It's always funny to watch the housewives try to parallel park.

Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, and of course Sopranos.

I also think verybored is awesome. Gives me hope for the next generation.

I love this overall, would be interested in figuring out how to make that mirror. But mostly have a question- has anyone here had that kind of river rock floor in a bathroom? What did you think of it? I love the look of it and we're trying to keep our cabin focused around locally-sourced products, so river rock would be awesome.

Fabulous and inspirational. I never could picture myself living in a loft until I saw what you'd done with this one. Love it, truly well done.
