Well here we are a brand new year is upon us! So many things to do this coming year. Altho Duane has been keeping busy building and giving some old things a new look. He purchased an old rocker at an auction last year and took it apart and refinished it then gave it to our daughter Bridget to rock her first little granddaughter in. He also built a beautiful rocker for me. On top of building things to consign. Here is a look at what he has been making. But before I go Happy New Year to you all and hope it will be a great year for all of us! The piece with the writing on it was a project that we did for a memorial! The little bench with the weaved seat is so awesome you can use it anywhere in the house. Well it's time to say bye again will talk latter.

Hi everyone ,well this Spring has been a busy one! Duane has been in the shop building some pretty fine looking projects so I wanted to get them on our site to share with you. So sit back and take a look. I will tell you a little about each of the pieces. The dark cabinet with the two drawers underneath is what we refer to as a entryway storage bench! It is made a little narrow to fit most entryways. The piece next to that is a Murphy Bed that Duane custom built for one of our customers. For those of you that don't know what a Murphy Bed is. It's one that can be folded down whenever you need it or fold it back up when not in use. You have a spare room and an office space when you need it. On this bed Duane put a fold down desk per the customers request for that reason. Now for the last item. I love this cabinet my daughter did all the finishing work on it. Her husband with Duanes help built this cabinet for their kitchen. they needed a special place for their coffee maker and big mugs an of course everything else that goes with it. Hope you enjoyed the new pieces. Have to go for now hope the rest of your Spring will be great and you all have an Awesome Summer!! Love Ya All

Hi everyone here are some of the pictures of things we have been making. Most of our things are consigned with the craft shops in Beresford. If you are interested in any of then you can find some of them at No Regrets, Remember When and Jack & Jills in downtown Beresford. They carry so many beautiful and unique items! Have a Merry Christmas All of you. First item is a game table with checker and chess pieces included. The 4th item is a decorative table made out of Birch and stained with Early American. The arrows, snowman and pictures are just little accessories that I make and paint. Duane also built the children's desk and chair along with the 2 message boards. The chalk desk top and the chalk board used in the message boards came from the old chalk boards at the old Yankton High School. The bed was a custom job he did for one of our customers!. Well I hope you enjoyed the look at some of our work. Like I said before Merry Christmas and have a great night.

Hi everyone! SorryI haven"t been on in a while. I have been busy doing a painting for a customer. I have been consigning myself out to do pet portraits for people. I also do wild life paintings and I am working on doing family portraits. The pet portraits make great gifts for someone close to you or a family member. I try to keep my cost down so that if someone is interested they don't have to break their piggy bank to have one done! This is a picture on am working on right now. You all have a great rest of your evening.

Hi everyone! Well with the holidays behind me it's time to get down to business. I decided to add a few pictures of a rocker that Duane refinished for a customer. It was a challenge for him because the seat of the rocker had to be canned. he has never done this type of repair before. Anyone who knows my husband knows he is not afraid of trying something new. We not only make new things we refinish furniture that you just don't want to part with. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
