Cute stuff!

By far Scott's favorite right now is the "mini outhouse toilet paper holder". He is so immensely proud of this little creation.
He made a big outhouse just like this for the backyard tools. But he gets such a kick out of the little one.
I've been asking for a corner unit for the little hallway to the powder room. It turned out pretty cute.
This is a hall/sofa table Scott copied from a member of our ward. He sold quite a few of these for a Christmas boutique last year.

Update

These are just a few of the things Scott has been working on. We had a fundraiser for the YW in our ward and Scott made a banch for the silent auction. It was a popular item and made had several hot bidders. He got two side jobs from other ward members who didn't win the bid at the auction.
These hutches were sold in an antique store. I didn't get to decorate them for the picture before they were delivered. Just imagine some Americana ticky tac on the shelves, maybe a rooster or a few black and wite pictures. :)
Scott made one of these for my front porch and then sold it. Still waiting for the replacement.
Yep....that was mine too until Scott took it to a boutique and someone else liked it better. :)

I enjoy making my own designs

We signed up to do this boutique in an effort to get more exposure. It was a positive experience. We met a lot of great people and saw several different vendors. It was hard to get everything in the booth space that we had. I had to build up instead of out. But we enjoyed the experience.




This is a sofa bench that could also be used in an entry way. I have one in my hall at the bottom of my stairs. Mine is black, this one has been antiqued. The drawers are cosmetic, they don't pull out. This is a combination of heavy MDF board and Brazilian hardwood. It's very sturdy.




I love this bench. I have the original on my porch. It reclines slightly for comfort and easily fits two people or three to four kids. The bench is made of pine with cedar pickets.




This is my favorite. It used to sit on my front porch, but someone else liked it better so I sold it. I saw this on another website and decided to make my own design. It's made of Brazilian hard wood. It also sits two adults comfortably or several kids.

A friend of mine finds the wood for me. I then make various cabinets with the wood. He kept telling me to paint the wood and it would sell better. So I've begun to paint some of it and things are selling well. I try to have a variety of cabinets available in the store.











Hutch or Rabbit cage?


This was one of my favorite cabinets to build. A good friend of mine stopped by a few days later and asked why we needed a rabit cage. One of the stores that I sell these at call this a patio bar.
