Looking for some modern outdoor furniture on the cheap? Check this out!
After his Emmabo Rocking Chair bit the dust, Alex (a.k.a. Ikea hacker extraordinaire) salvaged the frames and gave them new life as modern outdoor deck chairs. This is without a doubt one of the best Ikea hacks I’ve ever seen. I’m definitely keeping this bookmarked for a future modern home project. For DIY directions, head on over here.
0I’d like to start trying to dry our clothes on a clothesline outside. I’ve been nervous to try it for fear Kenzie will take off with our clothes. (And I know she would that little brat!) Anyway, I found these super cute clothesline pins that look like birds on a wire. I want them! I don’t think they’re available yet, but aren’t they great? Check out the website here.

Dear Morgan,
I hate you.
No, I don’t. You’re great. I’m just lashing out because I’m super jealous. Scoring an Eames Lounge (from Mr. Mister?!) for $50 bucks? Check out that gorgeous grain! *Sigh* Some people have all the luck.

0Chair fetish. That’s what my husband calls it. He says I have it bad. Maybe I do, but I can’t help it – certain chairs make me swoon!
One such chair is the Tolix chair. I’m contemplating this one for the dining room. Or maybe even for an outside table. Brad’s questioning it. He thinks it looks “cottage-y”, but I like the industrial look it has. Plus it’s virtually kid proof. The more beat up it is the better it looks!

As you may remember form our last update, we walked away from the house we had planned to remodel into a modern home and decided to build from scratch instead. Since then we’ve been scouting around the island looking for a new location to build our modern house. We have a few requirements that the new lot has to meet:
1) First and foremost, the lot has to fit within our price range. We refuse to overextend ourselves even if the lot is otherwise perfect.
2) The lot must be “Off Plantation”. The majority of the island consists of huge master planned gated communities known as plantations. They have strict regulations for everything right down to the color, type, and placement of your mailbox. We need freedom from ARBs (architectural review boards) to build whatever style home we want (obviously in our case a modern home).
3) We want to be close to the beach. The closer the better. We don’t have several million to spend on an ocean front lot, but we’d at least like to be able to walk to the beach everyday.
4) The house plans we created were designed to fit within the dimensions of the house we previously intended to remodel. We’ve decided to still use these plans, but this means that the new lot will need to be wide enough to fit the house.
There have been some amazing properties listed just recently that we’re really excited about. We’ve found five different lots that meet all of our requirements: size, price, location, and no ARB. We have offers in on two of them.
I’ll post details soon.
