♥ My Carpenter ♥

I have a carpenter that brings reality to my dreams! I never take it for granted either. If I think it up, he eventually makes it for me. I did say eventually……after all, he does work a full time job. But he does love to build things and I love for him to build things. He’s my hubby! :)

Today, I thought I’d take you through our home and show you what he’s made, at least some of the bigger pieces anyway.  Some of the photos were taken with my husband's point and shoot camera, therefore couldn't be enlarged and others were taken with my camera and those are biggie sized.  :)  

We’ll begin out in The Cedar Loft (which serves as our home-away-from-home/apartment/pool house):

TV Cabinet
 
Now coming back into the house on the sunporch:


coffee table made from old window

 
Potting bench made from a door


Through the back door from the sunporch, into the kitchen:

My favorite!  My Red Cupboard


Dough Bowl Rack

Table bench


In the dining room:

Buffet/Sideboard
 

And in the living room:


Shutters flanking the fireplace



Entertainment Center


Now I’ll take you down the hallway and we’ll stop in the hall bathroom:


Bathroom cabinet


And next is Luke’s little bedroom (our 4 year old):

Luke's bed

Luke's nightstand

And in the master bedroom:


Wall TV Cabinet

Now let’s turn around and go back into the living room and go upstairs. First at the top of the stairs, here’s the wonderful bookshelves for our many books. We love books! We homeschool.  We collect books! We love the motto: Wear the old coat, buy the new book. :)


bookshelves across entire wall of loft

And last of all into Joy’s room (our 13 year old):


Joy's desk and bulletin board


Maybe next time I’ll take you to my mom’s house so you can see what all Jason has made for her! After all, he does have to make his mother-in-law happy! Did I tell you he is her favorite son-in-law?  :)  Well, he's also her only son-in-law.  He’s made just about as many things for her as he has me!

Thanks for joining me today for a tour of my carpenter’s creations! I know I really am blessed and I know probably a little spoiled too. But I like being blessed (and spoiled). :)

Have a great weekend!  :)

  15. Jason is a man of many talents. I could take a tour of your home over and over. It has changed so much in the past few years but one thing has stayed the same red. :) So when you do your bedroom over will also be in red?

  17. Uh OH! Looks like Michael has competition for "Worlds Best Son In Law" Those are wonderful things he has built. Just wonderful. Lukes bed is fabulous. I love it all the red cupboard of course, but the wall cupboard, and I am trying so hard not to envy you those Wonderful book shelves. That is my dream, because I too, love books. Can't wait for the field trip to your Moms.
