So we’re pretty much all moved into our new place down here and are now figuring out all of the furniture we will need to build for ourselves. As much as I wish we could have fit our couches, coffee table, kitchen table, and entertainment center in the trailer – we sadly could not. Like not even close. Not a single one of those items made the move with us. Instead we sold them all to re-build and re-buy once we got down here to Texas. So we bought a new sectional to go in our

Because we’re secretly amazing artists who just decided to build furniture?? Definitely not…(Ha! let’s be honest we’re both nerds who decided to pick up a pencil). Nope, we got into sketching furniture because we learned that our clients really liked it and it got us all on the same page of what the piece was going to look like in the end! There were no surprises or unexpected elements when it came time for the reveal because the customer had already seen the details going in

If you’ve watched or scrolled past any of our content lately (ehhh…like in the last 8 months I guess…) you’ll probably see one recurring theme in all of it – WE’RE MOVING! Yep. We both got brand new jobs and we are packing up our entire lives and moving across the country. Isn’t that a bit crazy, you say?? We just got our ideal shop set up and a solid customer base in our area…. Well, folks…these jobs are PART-TIME. That’s right. That means we will have twice the time to put

Do you ever use certain tools and remember when you bought them? Like remembering what project you bought it for, or when your last one died at the most inconvenient time and you had to sprint out and buy the one you use now? Fine – it may sound kind of cheesy, but we have A LOT of memories and milestones associated with our tools that tell a story of how we started and when we decided to officially create our business. This taught us a big lesson on how to invest in tools wh

This is the finished sliding barn door after it was installed in the new townhome! The realtor we sold it to absolutely loved the modern design. Finding big clients who have big reach within a community is all about connections. It’s all about who you know and who knows you. This sliding barn door sale that we closed was a perfect example of that! The door was for a realtor in our area who was designing, outfitting, and flipping a townhome that was just built in a really cool

So we got a little ahead of ourselves. Let me explain how…. It all started when we were going through what we call our “hickory phase”. We were obsessed with hickory and the way the grain looked and the overall color and look it gave when paired with metal features (hence our other blog post about our hickory and metal nightstands). Probably the main thing we wanted to build out of hickory, though, was a kitchen table with some square, somewhat modern, metal legs for all of o

Being in our mid-twenties, quite a few of our friends are starting to go to grad school, which means they’re buying a lot of laptops, books, binders…and DESKS! We’ve built quite a few desks in the past, but this one was by far the most in-depth and was extremely fulfilling because we priced it almost perfectly – from the initial quote to materials and labor, to the price on the final invoice! So let’s give you some background and break down how we did this: Our friend came to
