We've been busy over the last few days getting some needed chores done so I have no new pictures, but I'll leave you with one of some of Dan's wonderful woodworking.
The china hutch was a birthday present to me some years ago. He also made the table, the shelf on the wall, and the turned candlestick. I love having my own custom furniture maker--just one of the many reasons I love him! (And ignore the none-too-scenic curtain rod--we're in the process of revamping the dining room curtains and have removed the Austrian shade valance that formerly covered the rod.)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO CHRIS AND DAN!
ReplyDeleteI was there in a light blue floor-length satin bridemaid's gown. I was scared to death -- heading off to Boston by myself for my first real job. But enough about me -- it's been a great 38 years for the two of you! Look where you are now, having landed at the Last Resort. In your case, that's a very fine place to be. Have a good rest of the day and many more years of married bliss.
Wow, 38 years! Congratulations to you both! I am so envious of your furniture! The corner piece is just beautiful... and I really liked the pizza peel!
ReplyDeleteDan does beautiful work. Where did he acquire his great wood working skill?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!!
Thanks everyone! We had a nice day.
ReplyDeleteHallie, Dan took shop when he was in high school and loved it. His parents allowed him to set up a little shop in their garage and he began to acquire tools. A few years after we were married he began making wood items for tole shops. Using that money, he was able to buy bigger tools such as a table saw, joiner, etc., which he then used to make furniture we couldn't afford any other way. He has a good eye for design, and between us we can usually come up with a plan that works for our tastes and space.
