This was the original mantle that the home owner built.  We stripped the paint, then mounted it on the second floor as a wall shelf.

This is a 7 foor diameter light circle that we built for the little girls room.  Jim's quote for this piece "What do you mean it's too big????  Beat to fit, paint to match!!!"

"Hands Around the World" theme for the little boy's room.  The plywood cut outs are tracings of his friends.  The mural on the wall was painted by one of the scenic artists.  She does AMAZING work!!!!!!

This is the piece that I am most proud of.  It started out as 3 logs that one of the designers salvaged from the firewood pile.  One of the logs still had a splitting wedge buried in it.  I slab cut the logs with a chain saw, then planed them smooth.  I then cut them into 9x9, 6x6 and 3x3 tiles and arranged them to make the top.  The wood is spalted maple, and maple burl.  The frame is from black walnut donated by one of the neighbors.  Quote for this piece " You want me to do WHAT with that log????"

In 2006 I had the opportunity to volunteer for an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  It was an absolutely amazing week, and one that I thought would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.  A few months later I received a phone call and they asked me to come help on another episode.  3 years and numerous episodes later I still love every minute of it.  They are long days, but days spent with amazing people that I am blessed to call my friends.

This is one of 3 matching picture frames.  The hand prints are the little boys that decorated his original room.  We saved some of the drywall and mounted it in the frames.

These next 3 pictures show some of the detail of the beautiful grain patterns and spalting in the wood for the table top.  The finish on it is a pour-on high gloss epoxy to add durability to the top.
