I have to begin this post with the catastrophic storms that ravaged our area last week. The images of devastation, loss, and courage are seared into our minds here. Though that night was a sleepless one for us, we were spared any real damage. Our thoughts and prayers go out to our neighbors here in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi that are suffering and picking up the pieces. Please consider visiting redcross.org and donating to help these communities with their recovery. But most importantly, please pray for them. They will need courage, inspiration, and perseverence in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

On a lighter note, I was thumbing through the pages of the Summer 2011 Cottage Style and came across this breakfast area.
I love the texture the cork treatment adds to the space! Plus, can’t you imagine the history encapsulated in this project? Wine shared with friends and family over time, special occasions, vacations… each cork has a story.
I’m now looking for space in which to do this in my own home… after all, remember these?

Good Morning Heidi. I do like that cork board treatment. I like the way your corks look the hurricane too. I love that you date them. Hope you had a fun weekend. I hope latter today I'm able to pick something out from Willow House. I tried last week but in the middle of the catalog I kept getting shut down. No telling why.
Have a wonderful Monday Sweetie! Hugs…Tracy 🙂
OK, loving the wine cork board- fantastic texture. Great find. M.
