WHOA.
this weekend was the weekend prince gave us this ethical intuition that we MUST revamp furniture and bake cakes... and that is just what we did. this post is debuting the first and the best of both worlds at pony island. Shown above is Ara's delicious devil's food cake with darrrk chocolate ganache. It makes me sad that we ate is so quickly! The recipe came from David Lebovitz... that American Frenchman can do no wrong. We also added our own touch by using up those 3 strawberries left in the fridge. I'm pretty sure that was a great decision.
With all excitement of a dry and sunny week, we also got around to redoing this sunbleached, wooden fold up chair jen and i found... somewhere. I can't remember exactly, but it was undoubtedly either the Bins (goodwill outlet store) or the regular goodwill. We picked out this beautiful saffron color and I whipped up some crazy art nouveau inspired motif. After some blood, sweat, and definitely tears, maybe due to those spray paint fumes, this is what we got. WELL, that's the update for now - I better get to class!
And don't worry, in posts to come we will be so tactful as to remember to take BEFORE photos as well...
