Coastal Wood Shack

When a book lover asks another book lover to create a library, you get really freaking excited to make it happen! It is so refreshing when they trust you with the design and color 🥰

Cannot wait to see this all filled up. We will be making more bookcases for another part of the house in a few weeks. 😊

Came back from our Florida visit and projects to do this one yesterday. ❤️

Adding a wall in front of a funky corner does not have to make a room look smaller. Turned an awkward space into an accent feature wall😍

I knew this mantle we made for our Florida tv wall would become very popular. They are so pretty in person.

We did our 1st big time mobile install for our framily in Florida this week. 😎🌞

Being besties for so many years gives you great insight into what she would want when she gives you creative freedom to just make it "wow" with a fireplace and mantle. 🥰 She knows how much I love to be let loose.

Little did she know an accent wall was happening, as well, to really tie it all together.

Add on the Murphy Door to access under the stairs storage and the storage now created by moving the tv all the way out.

I'm always excited to do a project, but it is unexplainable when it is for those you love ❤️

All of this between Saturday and today.....

John and I are exhausted.

It ended with my favorite: Accent Walls!!!

From coastal cottage to beach shack to a relaxing retreat, these walls all turned out exactly how I was hoping they would😍 Thank goodness I can math!!!!🤣

Custom cabinets for this week:
-Buffet server with floating shelves in Sunset Beach, NC
- Dresser/TV stand/Storage in Pawleys Island, SC
- Added extra storage and wine rack to an existing pantry

This week was all about the pantries🥰

Customized for organization and to maximize space.

Next week: specialty pieces
End of May/ beginning of June: Accent Walls (my favorite)

Wall Unit Saturday🥰

11.5 feet wide and 10 feet tall with the top piece, all handmade down to the doors

Fills up the vaulted space nicely

Today's install🔨

Office Makeover 🥰

Floor to ceiling cabinets (9 feet tall), shiplap with floating oak shelves, 2 file cabinet drawers with adjustable shelving that can be easily pulled out for the desk to have a chair.

Love Love Love this color so much!

Since we've been home from our cruise (11 days home but feels like forever), we have been busy!😊🤪

Just realized I never posted the wall units we did for 2 different oceanfront condos.

Added lots of storage without crowding the rooms. 😉

***Note: we are filling up fast for the summer and already booking fall projects. Reach out soon to secure your spot!***

We also made tables to go with a wall unit we already installed😊

The blue tables were a refinish job for ourselves. My Aunt and Uncle gave us these 2 end tables when they were changing up their furniture, so we changed them up into our great room style. They were an almond color with a pecan top. Now, they match our cabinetry and fireplace perfectly😍

We've been busy, so I'll take the next couple days paint things we've done the past 2 weeks🤪

Accent walls: my favorite thing to do (John likes cabinetry). I get to be artsy along with using a ton of math skills🤣

I love how these 2 walls came out. That blue color💙 The fact that my sketches and dimensions worked out perfectly🥵 The difference that it can make in a room and home😍

More to come tomorrow...

This Week's Project:

9-11 foot tall, 7 foot wide with a 60"fireplace insert, cute little hearth with the top that slides off for hidden storage and outlet and a storage mantle with electric🥰😍🤩

Today's project was an all day event, but worth every minute with seeing the final results🥰

This paint color is gorgeous! When the sun is out, it is a brighter blue, but in the evening, it takes on a steel blue look.

Accent wall is in the same room on the opposite wall to the fireplace built out!

Shout out to Bernie, who knew exactly where to park himself on this damp rainy night

This was Saturday's install.

Great way to utilize a big window wall for storage without losing decor appeal.

Working on the next ones: Friday and next Wednesday😊

Here is the big reveal to our Monday install!!! ❤️

It turned out even better than I envisioned. The pictures do not do it justice at all!

Cabinet Color: Sherwin Williams Rainwashed

Creating something special for a family brings us so much happiness, especially when it turns out like this.

This one is definitely one I will remember. 🥰

Busy, as usual the past week and a half.

Wall Unit in Sherwin Williams Mineral Deposit🩶

Shiplap added to an existing corner fireplace💙

Added floating shelves to an accent wall we previously did 🩷

Big reveal for a wall unit coming Monday afternoon...... stay tuned

Today's install...

John did a great job with this install.

All white wall unit, so that the decor can stand out. 😍

Love customizing for everyone's taste.

January was a busy month....

All of these projects with a 9 day vacation mixed in🤪

February and March are even crazier, so here is to making it to the next vacation the end of March.

I made a promise to myself that I would stick to actual work hours and days, so I'm not working all day and night between the garage, phone and sketches. I have failed miserably so far on this aspect for 2024. After this weekend, I am sticking to it! 😉

We are currently setting up appointments to book summer projects. Spaces are very limited for June, July and August.

Also, if you will be wanting something in the fall, please do not wait. I already have people reserving dates to do things before the holidays. I hate telling people that we cannot fit them in, so just keep in mind that we book 6 months out.

John and I are on the road headed to a much needed vacation.😎

Plan: Relaxing, disconnecting and regrouping before we dive into the 2024 craziness

If you need to chat project stuff, please wait until we return January 15th. I'm trying very hard to take this time to unwind. 🧘‍♀️

I'll be sending out sketches, quotes and dates when we get back😉

Finished this cute wall unit last Friday.

Achieved everything wanted and needed in a smaller space. 😊

Still working on Steph's room, which will not be finished by Christmas. We are trying our best, but to be honest, we are exhausted. We took on a little more than we should have and Christmas just showed up very quickly. She's a trooper, though, and knows we will get it done and make it what she wants in the end. Just might not be until June 2024🙄

I cannot explain how excited I was to do this install and reveal!!! I designed the center area and was very neurotic with the spacing and look of it. 🤪

We were a Christmas/ birthday gift for a fellow Eagles fan! This is his new office wall🦅

We are so grateful for the trust they put in us, especially with the color. Ya'll know when I love something that is not white!!!🤣

***Today's install*** Master Closet for a new custom home🥰

We added so much storage for them! Those drawers are huge that John made! I hope they get all moved in to this closet very soon.

More projects to come for this house in the upcoming months😊

Part 1: We've been busy!!!😁

Some of the recent creations we had the pleasure of working on.

Shiplap fireplace with electric fireplace insert and storage mantle. 11 feet tall at the peak

Rustic shiplap breakfast bar

Storage window seat for lanai

This past week we did projects that were so much fun! 😁

Everyone knows I love to have fun with color and create artwork with wood, pain and stains.

I'm so thankful for the trust they put in me to design stuff like this for them and for the friendships made in the brainstorming messages back and forth🤣. I'm also thankful for John in being able to always take what is in my head, that I try to convey on paper and make it what I envisioned.

In between morning storms and evening storms, we were able to install this pantry for a sweet family new to our Berkshire community 😀

What a difference getting rid of 4 wire racks can make. So much essential storage added.

Never feels like work when you get to hang out such nice people for the afternoon🥰

I don't post nearly as much as we install because I don't want to bore people. John did this one last Friday with Dad's muscles💪

I think this is a great example of how you can add a wow factor without taking up a ton of room. Simple is highly underrated!

Absolutely loved working with this family😊

A simple addition of color can make all the difference😍🥰🤩

Cannot wait to do more projects for this family. They love to have fun with designs. I'm all about that!

Part 2 of this week's install: Pantry🥰😍🤩

We added a ton of functional space to this area along with a ton of value to the home.

Her and I have similar tastes, which makes it so easy to create and even more exciting to install. She nailed it again with the wallpaper (she gets it at Target btw)

Just love how this laundry room makeover turned out. 😍

She had the wallpaper done. We separated her existing cabinets, installed shiplap, floating shelves, countertop and riser. We added a cubby in between the washer and dryer, then added another hanging and hamper unit opposite the dryer.

Looks like a totally different room now. Tomorrow we get to do her pantry😊
