It’s springtime...and my husband is pregnant. . . #notwoodworking #wesherickmuseum #naturesbounty #morels #eatwild #giftsofnature #celebratespring #afterwork #happymondayevening Nice figure.

In plain view. Today I shot a kitchen we did in 2006 in conjunction with general contractor Golden Hands Construction. The simplicity of the design belies the challenge of transforming a theatrically formal dining room into a practical contemporary kitchen for people who love to cook, while respecting the architectural character of this early 20th-century farmhouse. Why so many open cabinets? “I want my children to know where things are and participate in putting them away,” says one of the homeowners. If you ask me, the contents of many people’s cupboards (and certainly these cupboards) can make for quite an artful view. . . #cherry #customcabinets #lovemyclients #listen #kitchendesign Women’s work.

From first contact to signed contract, this month’s post at the #finewoodworkingmagazine Pros’ Corner. Link in profile.

One of my current jobs is a pair of built-in bookcases with doors, to be installed on either side of a window seat. I got some beautiful curly cherry from Davison HQS in Spencer, Indiana, for the panels. The center of this front assembly will be a shop-made cherry lattice vent as there’s a HVAC duct emerging in the space below the window seat. The panels are set more deeply than normal into the frame to allow space for a decorative molding that will echo the original doors in the circa-1929 house. . . #womanownedbusiness #oldhouselove #curlycherry #windowseats #windowseat #windowseatlove #traditionalwoodworkingtechniques #custombuiltins #builttofit #woodworkingbench
