Thanks Martha!

I mentioned in an old post that we had purchased some new furniture for out on our balcony (paid for with help from the Hunts as a birthday gift to Justin last year - Thank you!)

Allow me to introduce our new furniture courtesy of Martha Stewart:
(It was so hot outside that my lens fogged up immediately after I opened the door to take this picture...crazy heat)

The center table is actually a fire pit (has a section that lifts out of the middle). I don't think we'll be using it while living in our current home (made almost entirely of old wood!), but will look forward to using it in the backyard of a future home. Now if the heat would just settle down, we'd enjoy spending more time out there!

On a different note, I'd like to share my latest fascination with you... many of you may already be familiar with Pinterest, but the site was news to me. (Thanks Jen for introducing me to my latest internet addition). I am officially obsessed with it. I can't get over the creativity that so many people possess! It's so inspiring to see the different DIY projects, creative decor, cooking and baking ideas. Now if I could just muster up the motivation to actually try them out!  :)

Hope everyone is staying cool in this awful heat!
