FAIR IS FAIR

Since we moved in to 822
Mr. PV had a vision

I rather like the way this looks, where the gravel meets the green grass,
but....

he had something else in mind all along



I have to admit these rock fences will be pretty cool with up and down lighting


so we made a fair trade
he gets his rock fences 

and he builds me a 
HUGE farm table





 lately I have been obsessed with 
bigger than Donald Trump HUGE farm tables



old porch posts from a house down the street
3 x 12 x 10 foot pine boards, some screws and 2 x 4

it's pretty amazing in all sincerity that Mr. PV and cute carpenter man
on a weekend
with a very small budget.....
can make it all happen

hoping the fence will have rock before October but I would never dream to ask

Gina,
Your husbands vision for those stone wall divisions will look amazing, I am sure. My husband is working out details for a car port extending from our tiny shoe horned city garage - Yikes! But in return I get my dream powder room and John's willing to build my tiny dream powder room with a stone cylinder sink. You are fortunate to have Mr. PV that is able to build such an amazing farmhouse table. OBTW Gina did I mention totally amazing?! I think your home is spiritually blessed and the grounds and interior beyond gorgeous. Yes I am a fan of 822.
xoxo,

Gina, I'd say you have a win / win. Love the long farm table and the rock wall will be amazing. Lucky you that you have a husband both talented and industrious.

What a great table Gina and I like your husband's spirit:) He will make it happen!

Somehow I'm not seeing that you gave up so very much to get that awesome farm table. You did say you let him build a stone wall (which looks pretty darned cool to me) and, in return he gets to build you a table. You are an amazing negotiator!

Your yard have come along ways, and it is so beautiful.

The table he built is beautiful! You will have so many wonderful meals there.
I've wanted my spouse to build one too ever since I saw one in RH for too much.
