Making Progress

Quick post to get some feedback from ya'll. The place is getting bright and colorful with all my estate sale finds....yellow rattan pattern cushions, green/turquoise floral curtains, coral marmoleum under dinette, wood laminate flooring, aluminum backsplash behind desk. I'm keeping the 2 original lights pictured but need to find something for above the table....

Forage your fruit!

Find free fruit, nuts, and herbs in your neighborhood at neighborhoodfruit.com. I found cherries, blueberries, raspberries, plums, figs, apricots, and rosemary within 1 mile of my house! Good luck. I hope your neighborhoods are as fruitful as mine!
