Smooth Stones

In our dream (and heading towards "real") home, we'd have a

rock TV wall covered with something like these colorful,

water- weathered stones.

And a separate fireplace wall with similar pebbles standing

on end for added texture.  I can't keep my hands off them and

wonder if the boys would use them as a scratching post.

The stones are perfect with our carpet choice, a bit of color

mixed with neutral tones.

Outside, we hope to have gardens close by the windows with

less polished rock (we already have this pile of rocks to use).

The boys regularly explore this mini-hill by the east pond,
soon we may be enjoying bits of it from our windows.
