I know I've said it before, but

my brother is kind of awesome. He does very cool things. Early in the summer he sent me this photo of the hutch he built for their tiny kitchen in Nederland, CO. I was completely impressed.

This morning I was amazed to open my email and find photos of the rest of the furniture he made this summer (along with getting married and going on several rafting and hiking trips). It's gorgeous and, as far as I know, made with completely reclaimed and found materials.

I'm in love with this table.


The orange pieces are from a hollow pillar he found somewhere. He's done at least 4 separate pieces using parts of the pillar.


Oh and since I mentioned it, and I've been a very neglectful sister/blogger by not posting about it earlier, he did get married in June. Regular readers will know how I feel about his new wife.


Here are some photos from the trip to Colorado for the wedding.

That's Mikey & Julie by Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, sister Lindsey and I by the same lake and Linz (a fairly awesome person in her own right) practicing her chipmunk whispering.

Mom and Dad at Bear Lake, Linz and her boyfriend Craig picnicking at Bear Lake and signs made by Linz, Craig and I to direct people to the hard to find meadow where the wedding was being held.

And here's a few shots of the happy couple and my folks at the wedding itself. There are tons of photos taken by me and others. If you're related to us or really enjoy looking at other people's wedding photos, feel free to click through and have a look.
