hello friends

 I know I have been MIA for quite some time but I have a very good excuse....I thought I was busy before but let me tell you I was not! As I mentioned I started offering to make custom furniture and lets just say things are going well. I have been busy building and finishing furniture all summer...its been great and I love doing it but the summer has flown by.
I thought I would share some photos of the pieces I have made so far.
The bed above is my barn door bed...I am kind of in love with it, and the sidetable is an Ikea trunk I created a base and to for.

 I love the industrial wheels I found at Home Depot.

 I have almost finished Sophie's bathroom...I need to do a little grouting and the crown moulding.

 Here is one of my first outdoor table and bench combos

 A little buffet makeover for a client, I added wine storage and gave it a whole update.

 I created a palet wine rack out of new rough cut wood.

 My version of a shanty to chic table...one of my favourite coffee tables.

 Oh and in case you missed it my shoot was featured in the August issue of Style at Home.

 A gorgeous set of tables with rough tops.

 A very beachy vanity/desk.

 Bed rails that are as cute as can be...powder pink

 Close ups of my barn door bed.

 my second barn door bed...I stain before painting when doing a distressed look

 a very beachy bench makeover

 a simple contemporary tv console with wheels

 My fave 8 foot outdoor table and bench...I am making one of these for my backyard but it will be 10 feet

 a super rustic one of a kind RH knock off coffee table made just the right size.

 look at those legs...I had them made locally

 A sweet vanity/desk for a sweet little girl

 look at that wood!!!!

 I moved a little lighting around...I love this light so much and it looks so much better in the kitchen

 Here is a room I have been working on for a friend of mine...together we have created the coziest room. Linen drapes are coming soon. That is an opening to a stairwell which is unique...it allowed us to hang a gorgeous light over the stairs and it is the centerpiece and focal point...the window in the stairs would be difficult to access window treatments so I came up with the idea of treating the cut out as a window and draping it...it will be so much easier to close those drapes at night and it will add a great deal of texture and softness to the room. I just love this room. Revere pewter walls, rug from Lowes online, ektorp sofa and chaise and a couple of custom pieces by yours truly.

I love how the right stain can just bring the wood to life. I think this was special walnut with sun bleached applied seperately.

My husband created this logo for me...I love our little cartoon homestead.
