Man Chair Moved In !

The Man Chair has moved in and is seldom vacant.  Who ever gets there first calls it the ‘Me” chair. So comfortable!

Okay, forget that the black cushion doesn’t show up well against the background of the blue sun wall hanging, and forget that the lathe turned table with the basket on top and the lovely rustic Heart Pine side table to the left don’t match in any world.  What they do have in common though is the fact that Kevin built them all. Along with the 5’x3’ tablecloth covered coffee table in front.

Hey, it’s our living room, dining room and TV room.  Once the house is completed, I expect none of these four pieces of furniture will be wind up the same room.

In the history of Kevin and I and our furniture, with the exception of the bed and soon to be replaced couch, Kevin has built it all.  This includes my kitchen cabinets, bedroom armoire, breakfast bar and countertop, the 8-foot console our TV and Arthur’s Lego workspace rest on AND the desk I am currently working on. 

Granted much of it will be upgraded and or refinished for the new house, but I can always say my décor is one of a kind.  Along with that, all the wood etc that goes into the furniture has been salvaged either from old paid projects, or felled Trees from our land.

Of course, this in no way accounts for all the pieces he’s build for customers. Including the elegant 15-piece chair and dining room set (complete with upholstered back and seat cushions) for an upscale mansion in Eatonton, Georgia.  I have my designs set upon something similar for my new house, more rustic of course.  Or the country kitchen table for one of the weekend houses here on the lake.  If I can locate those pictures, I’ll be sharing those as well.

And!!!! I am very excited; I’ve learned that the boards have been cut for my matching love seat sofa!
