projects

We recently came across a section of Lijiang that was being demolished. This section was on the edge of Old Town which is usually designed in ancient wooden architecture. These buildings they were demolishing weren't ancient, maybe 20-30 years old, but they used old style window shutters and wood work to make it look old. When we saw them taking down all the wood workings, we asked what they were doing with them. The said they were selling them! So we bought a few to decorate our house with.

For the last 2 months, they've been sitting on our patio as Laura waited for the "opportune" moment to refurbish them. Below are pictures of the work in process.

Only one step left, painting. C'mon Laura, you can do it!
