We’re taking off this beautiful Memorial Day to enjoy some downtime. I’m leaving you with just a Quick Links post today, but we’ll be back tomorrow with more inspiration. Enjoy the day if you have some time off!

You may remember that awhile back I posted about Aaron Melander’s awesome Target Chalet project. Well he’s now  updated his portfolio to give us a look into the process. Pretty interesting to see.
