This is a project I created while in college. It’s a store front model (yes hand built by me) for an eco friendly home decor shop. The store would provide eco friendly, sustainable, and renewable home decor and construction materials. The store itself would, of course, be built using eco friendly construction materials and everything they do would follow the same thinking.
My post yesterday made me think of this project, so I thought I’d share.

The plan is to find a new house within the next year…whether or not we will find something we like is another matter, but it has gotten me thinking about landscaping and my future vegetable garden.
So here is some landscaping inspiration. I also really like the drawing quality of these, so they double as art print inspiration too.
