my husband: the woodworker

It all started with these stairs...

After these stairs were put in, the guy that did our walls kind of destroyed them. Our walls are this weird clay stuff that is apparently "green" and "breathes." yes, our walls are alive. anywho, after DON the plaster guy came in, they needed to be completely re-done. So i yelled at blake until something was done about it. Now they look like this.

So after all this business with sanding and staining, yadda yadda, I said "hey honey darling, if you can re-finish some stairs it should be a piece of cake to make me a hanger for my necklaces? they always get so tangled whine whine whine..."

So he did:

not too shabby. I really wanted the adorable 15 bucks a piece drawer pulls from anthropologie, but he wouldn't have it... next time i suppose.

The next thing I chose to whine about was that our bathroom was barren and just not cute at all. You see, we don't have finished cupboards in our apartment (kitchen and bathroom), and it makes me want to scream sometimes, but instead I just solve the problem with cute little shelves for holding cute things. like this one:

I won't even show you what the rest of the bathroom looks like cause it will make you so sad.

Next up was a coat hanger. I have a lot of coats and sweaters I decided. I don't have enough room in my closet. We got a sweet coat hanger for our wedding, but it was HUGE and black as night and didn't really match our place. So blake made this awesome coat hanger for our front entry and I sold the other hanger on craigslist and bought myself... something nice I'm sure.

He also made a coat hanger for my parents. Go to their house and see it. It is way cooler than mine (no offense darling, you just had more practice!)

Now my hubs is going full-boar. He is into making cutting boards and will some day make me a bed and coffee table.

Only problem is, I don't think he will ever let me paint anything he makes..

And as for me, WELL I have talents too! I made a bedroom curtain so I can quit being Jessica "the flasher" Richards. (our bedroom window overlooks the front driveway were there are always kids playing/people driving/men working. I thought people liked that kind of thing?)

and that's all folks.
