Getting the roof-top vegetable garden ready for the season.

(That’s what these things are called, right? It’s a hall tree?)

Anyway, our laundry room / mud room gets a lot of traffic and could use a bit more storage. So, with some barn wood and left-over kitchen cabinets, we planned and built this guy.

Drawers on the bottom, doors on top, hooks for coats and bags, and a bench for wiggling on little shoes.

Just a liiiiiiiiiiiittle bit of snow at the barn.

The number of books our children have is both delightful and overwhelming.

To help manage their presence in the living room, we designed and built this:

The master bathroom is almost complete; just need to install the shower doors.

…is the perfect Christmas tree location.

A look at the first-floor half-bath. The counter is a piece of live-edge wood, with pipes for legs. For storage, we just use a large basket underneath.

One step closer to having a fireplace in our home. 

So, in July we found this sideboard. It was natural wood, with wood knobs. And since I’m not super great at taking before-and-after photos, I only have this to share. (The pictures are from Mac’s old-school-hip-hop themed first birthday party. #HBDMAC)

Anyway, we painted it the same gray as the gate-leg table. I picked up cup pulls for the drawers and faux glass knobs for the doors. I antiqued all of the new hardware (read: painted them with some brown paint and then wiped much of it off).

The scale and style are perfect for our open dining room.

(and that sweet face.)
