Building this new house is such an exciting ride for me. I go to the antique shop or salvage yard, grab a few things, hand them over to an artist, and *BOOM* I’ve got an awesome architectural wow piece in my home. These corbels are from a hundred year old house. The top board is who knows […]

The Big Boy or what’s new with the new house
