Halfway done!

Changed a lot from the sketches, looks simpler and cleaner.Next is staining/varnish, and then getting the benches upholstered.

Booth Sketches

Next big house project is to make a new dining setup, and here are some views of a booth setup. The window is a problem, but I'm guessing puffy cushions for the back will prevent people from hitting their heads on the shutters. 8

It seems a bit small, but looking at the top view it shouldn't be any bigger. I think this would be comfortable seating for 6, but you could fit 8.

Kitchen Project

I've been wanting to add some kind of cabinet/countertop on this part of the kitchen for couple months now, and I think this is probably the best solution for the space. It'll be a nice spot for the coffeemaker and toaster. IMG_0637 got the free standing cabinet and open shelves from Ikea.

Tim helped cutting the countertop to shape, and adding the outlets. We will be patching up the drywall and fixing the paint today, and it'll probably take couple days to apply the butcher block oil

Bird's Nest

Just noticed this bird's nest on top of one the outdoor speakers.Hope that the music will not damage the eggs.
