The drinking fountain

This was Levi’s brilliant idea.  An old vintage drinking fountain in the mudroom.  Why didn’t I think of this?  Our uncivilized children are constantly hanging off the fancy kitchen faucets and this is the perfect solution.  We found this fountain at Rejuvenations, a salvage shop in Portland, Oregon.  Love that place.

  17. Oh, I am in love with this. Every detail in your home that you show I sit and say “That is yummy or so cool…., look at those details.” The sad and funny part is that I have done this on a lunch break in my office out-loud only to have people hear me as they walk by. 🙂 Oh well. Your home and all that is within those walls is just beautiful. Thank you for giving us all a view into your heavenly world.

  18. Now THAT is cool! Yep, Levi is brilliant!
