It's Here

We got our new coffee table today. We love it! It has a rustic look and like the bench, is very solid. We are very happy with the pieces we had made at Batavia 3. They do not kiln dry so they only use old reclaimed teak. The coffee table is a rich dark color that is the original color of the wood. It gets darker with age. The shop said they did not stain the coffee table at all. As with the bench, we love all the natural imperfections in the wood. It is so tempting to have more furniture made.

Long weekend in Bali

After returning from summer vacation in Bali, we decided to take a vacation from our vacation and spend four days in Bali.  Idul Fitri (celebrating the end of Ramahdan) happened to be on Thursday and Friday this year, so it worked out well to head out of town for a couple days.  We met up with a family from our church and hung out by the pool and beach for most of the time. 

We did take a day trip to north Bali where we saw a Hindu temple complex, a waterfall, and a hot springs bath area.

We also ate an amazing seafood dinner on Jimbaran beach.  I rented a motorbike and took the kids for a ride as well.  Amazingly, the weather was perfect the entire time, and we didn't hear "Hotel California" a single time this go around.  :)
