I hope everyone had a Happy New Year...We certainly enjoyed having another day off!!! Not too many of those in the upcoming weeks.


All of the pieces of the built-ins are finished. As you can see, we do not assemble the pieces until they are completely finished. Often, customers think I have their pieces sitting here waiting for the finish, but that is not what happens. We cannot assemble if you have not chosen a color yet!

The pieces and parts of the bookcases and mantle have now had 3 coats of paint with a trip back out to the main room between each coat. Here they get lightly sanded and wiped down then brought in for another coat. After all of their paint is completely dry....I glaze them. You can see the glaze stuck in the nooks and crannies. (hmmm, sounds like an English muffin).

Tomorrow, Steve will begin assembling the pieces, then take them apart again for transporting to the customers house where they will be reassembled.

Until tomorrow.......








Door with nooks and crannies!
