Road rescue.

Check this out.

Eugene & I were on a bike ride when we found these huge, solid wood benches on the side of the road. I knocked on the door of the house just to make sure they were free for the taking, and sure enough they were! We quickly biked back, hopped in the car & rescued this great find.

Here’s my brainstorm. I’m not sure if it’ll be too big for the kitchen, but it’s at least worth a try!

{Please don’t judge the messy garage in the background!}

Here’s some of my inspiration pics…

It’s low on the list of things to do just cause what we have works just fine, but I’m pretty pumped about the FREE road rescue! :)
