Blooming Spring Bazaar

Don't forget to attend the Blooming Spring Bazaar in Evanston at the Machine Shop on Saturday, April 21 from 9:00am-4:00pm! My pictures just don't do our projects justice so come check them out first hand!

3 More Designs!

We got 3 more shelf designs to this stage. The only problem is finishing them. I am a black, brown, red, golden oak fan but I wonder if you are too. What color(s) should we finish these up with? I have about any color of paint and any shade of stain you could imagine. Let me know what you think!

36" Richmond

Very useful with the metal hooks but classy with the decorative trim.

36" Atlanta

Vinyl tiles and holders also available

36" Madison

Shelf Names

With so many shelf designs (and more to come!) we decided they needed names in order to keep them all straight. Which one is your favorite?

The Santa Fe (48")

The Jackson (36")

The Hartford (36") unfinished

The Topeka (36")

The Albany (48")

Another Santa Fe (36") with 3 drawers and antiqued

The Bismark

The Helena

The Santa Fe (48") with 4 drawer fronts

These are just a few examples of what we have done. They, of course, can be customized to fit your decor and taste. Many have drawers that work or just the drawer fronts. I am really excited about the Phoenix, Richmond, and the Lansing that are in the works right now.

Spring Craft Fair

We have another Craft Fair coming up soon! The Blooming Spring Bazaar sponsored by Angels Among Us will be April 21, 2012 at the Machine Shop in Evanston. Feel free to place orders now and pick them up there! Remember any project can be customized to you!

Horse Puzzle

We came across this pattern in a scroll saw magazine and had to try it. It was fun to do and our kids have enjoyed playing with it too. They stand at almost 8" tall. We used oak for one and pine for another. I think the oak one will look great stained and am debating about painting the other. What do you think?

Oak Horse $20 Stained

$18 Painted

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday season but now that they are over I can concentrate on the blog again. I have missed "seeing" you guys. One of my New Year's resolutions is to stay more organized. I love the feeling of having a place for everything and everything in it's place. A perfect way to do that and decorate the house at the same time is with these shelves. Here are a few examples but you can customize one that would match your own taste and decor.

Glossy Barn Red with working drawers and pegs. This one was a special order that also has a small piece of wood running along the top so the proud owner can prop pictures up.

Closed Corner Shelf
