Welcome to Feature Friday!

These shelving units have great separation. They make me want to get a beach house with reclaimed wood. Also, a lighthouse to live in would also be amazing.

What do you think?

Review:

The communities have really grown and become impressive. The technological advancements are very obvious to see. Carl is wanting to learn a trade to be a blacksmith, but that would mean he would leave from Alexandria and go to the Hilltop instead. Carl makes trips to visit with Negan at night and talk to him, but he still wants to kill him.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I love the symmetrical design of this. I think it would fit well against a wall, but also as a room divider as well.

What do you think?
