built-in shelving

This is the west wall of our front room before we moved in.



This is the same wall with the built-in shelving Aaron added (a bit cluttered, I admit).

entertainment center

This is the entertainment center we made when we moved in. Our other one was too large, and there was no way to hide the television when we were not watching it. So, we built this one.



The doors on the top slide in next to the television, so they don't block the view.
(It was not our plan to put a cat in every picture. They just show up!)

bed

This is the bed Aaron built for the memory foam mattress we got last fall. He built the base with spaces for drawers, but the cats preferred it as a cave. He also built the headboard (the sparkly red fabric was at my insistence) to match the details of the dresser his dad built us a few years ago.

beginings....

So, Aaron and I have decided to start building custom furniture. We enjoy working together, and we happen to be very good at it. Since his time is occupied with driving, and mine with instructing, we both miss creating things with our hands. To satiate this need, we offered to build a table for our new neighbor (who is awesome, by the way). The table is finished and we are just like proud parents. Pictures will be posted soon! The table she desired cost $2500. We built it for $150 in materials (and she gave us a cat tree her Bailee didn't use as a "Thank you").
