The living room has a very large inset space next the fireplace that is holding a cabinet. The cabinet is not very functional. It is super deep, like 30″, but the shelves only go back about 26″, so stuff falls off the back. The doors open to 90 degrees, but the drawers always get caught on them. So, it was time to make it more functional, and better looking at the same time.

Media console
I recently had the opportunity to build a media console that finished off a client’s living room. The media console sits below a wall-mounted TV and will hold all the electronics, pictures, chotchkies(sp?), etc.

Doggie Bench
A couple of years ago, I had built a bench that sits at the foot of a bed. The bench has a small step for small dogs to jump onto the bench and then the bed. Recently, I was asked to create something similar with different dimensions. So here we go

Splayed and shaped bench
I was asked to create a small bench (seat) for an entryway. The house is a split-level and needed something by the front door, but it couldn’t be too large else it would take up valuable space. So, that is where custom furniture comes in.

Flat Pack coffee table
I set out to make two coffee tables. To make it easier on a perspective buyer, I wanted to make the tables easy to transport and assemble. If it came down to it, I could even ship the tables in a low profile crate or box.

Simple looking bench
A while ago, I accidentally cracked this cheap shoe shelf thing in our laundry room. Not enough to ruin it, but I head it “give” a bit. I decided to build a new one that I could sit on. Since the location of the shoe shelf is the spot where I put on my shoes or boots before heading into the garage or outside to do lawn work.

Making a PLant Stand
I was asked to create a small two tier plant stand. You may be asking yourself: “what the heck is a plant stand, and why would anyone want one”. To be hones, this one is purely decorative in nature. The plant will reside on a table/dresser and instead of sitting directly on the surface it will be elevated slightly.

Custom Entry (console) Table
I set out to build a custom table that would be placed near a front door. So, I am calling this an entryway table, but maybe people would call it a console table or a cabinet or a wooden storage thingy.
