Meet the Fengs
Where we hang out
In the last days, we’ve invited more furniture to join us at home. There is Juan, the Mexican yucca cane plant we picked up at Home Depot. The two handsewn tibetan pillow twins from down the street, and From Red, a multi-media print (my anniversary gift to Rusty) we’ve hung above the couch who, by the way, is really starting to loosen up.
Our latest - and most fortuitous - addition to the family is the deep walnut coffee table you see set in the middle of the room. He was abandoned by the road, in front of a church across the street from our block. The poor dear even suffered the ignominy of having a plastic-chrome work desk piled on top of it. A stray dog witnessed this injustice as it pee-ed on a nearby fire hydrant.
I was near the end of a run when I noticed him. Immediately I called Rusty. “I think I may have finally found our coffee table,” I whispered excitedly. In a matter of minutes, he was rescued from the cold and sitting in our living room, wiped down, warmed up and gleaming with gratitude. So were we.

That is beautiful, truly beautiful. It’s a healing environment, just what you need.

It looks great, if you are ever in TX I want you to stop by and help me decorate. I have absolutely no decorating sense.

I am in awe of your sense of design. You take road trash and make it look like high fashion. On a bad day, I can take high fashion and make it look like road trash.
I do love the way you take in orphaned furniture and give it a home.

I told people about your dorm room being featured in a book and they didn’t believe me.
This’ll show ‘em!!!
