BANG-quettes. see what i did there. B/c they’re banging! You guys don’t even know. it’s going to be UNreal up in here. so many seatings. so many. SOOOO nice! the pub room is becoming a reality. I’ll continue to add pics as it shapes up. right now it’s looking CLASSY.
**UPDATE**
Can you BELIEVE that banquette!!! i left the house for a few hours today to do an IKEA run and catch up with Metz, and when i came back, this had happened! it’s primed, painted and paneled. that’s 3 times the alliteration! it’s seriously so beautiful already and we haven’t even added the cushions yet! And the best part is it was made, by hand, with love from Kathy and Gene. There’s something about having built in furniture made by your family that makes the house feel, i dunno, warm and fuzzy. That’s a thing, right?
Even partially complete, it already feels exactly the way I wanted it to feel in that room— like a big group of family could come and gather and stay for a while. I don’t exactly know how to repay Kathy and Gene for that gift. I guess just by enjoying it EVERY day :) that’s a fair trade, right? I hope they’re not expecting me to build them anything… i dunno how reliable I’d be for that…maybe i can build them a bacon cup to drink four loko from? Too soon?
