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.
