This entry is all about showing off Dylan's newest furniture.First is a shot of his new office. He moved across the hall to have more space.
His two new pieces are console or hall tables. Each of the tables is solid walnut on a steel stand. He bought a vase from a potter and a bowl from a wood-turner and worked the rest of the design around those pieces.
We love them and he's gotten great feedback from the people who've seen them already.
There was a small show a couple of weeks ago at which he unveiled them. He has other variations along the same theme that he plans to offer, as well.Currently, he's working on a bed for a client. It's still in pieces, but coming along. Also solid walnut.
We sat around in his office talking business strategy for the next few months. It's still difficult to get a smooth stream of income, but he's gradually honing in on a viable combination of marketing and design/fabrication.
We headed for home late afternoon. Dinner at Rubio's in Fairfield was a big treat. Their fish tacos rule. The other notable event was reaching the 200,000-mile mark on the Camry's odometer. Good ol' Toyota. We're still fans, no matter what. We don't drive so much. Working at home and living in a small-town environment, we only put on real mileage when we take the infrequent longer journey. So, it took 13 years to make the 200k. Nearly trouble-free, too, all this time.
This next weekend, we'll be driving down to Santa Barbara to celebrate Tom's mom's 90th birthday. Exciting party images to follow...
