Our Garden

James and I have been working on a garden. It is on the side of the back yard that used to be a dog run. Now it is onions, tomatoes, corn, cucumber, bok choy, parsley, chives, cilantro and strawberries... so far. This is just a starter garden, we have lots of room to expand once we see how it goes. The wind is blowing like crazy right now. Hopefully it all survives!

Laura's Casino Opening!

Ok, so it's not actually MY casino, but it's one that I've been helping to design and build for the last 18 months. It is "Indiana Live" in Shelbyville Indiana. We did the entire casino, plus a Maker's Mark Steakhouse, Nascar Grill, High Limit Gaming and Lounge, Poker Room, Night Club, Casino Cage, Rewards club, public restroms and the Gold and Platinum High Limit Lounges. It was a huge job and a little rough at times, but it turned out beautiful! and the client was thrilled. Everyone was so complimentary to us and all of our hard work.

There were 4 of us on the team, and 2 my bosses. For the last couple of months i've been going out to Indiana at least every two weeks, if not every week. There's a lot of pictures, but there's so much to show!!

These are all pictures of the main casino area.

James got to come too which made everything that much better.

All of the above pictures are the Maker's Mark Steakhouse. It turned out really beautiful and we even got to eat dinner there with the Architects and the Lighting Designers.
