Like I said, from the day we were married... Adam started off making our bed (I unfortunately don't have a picture of that because it is currently being used at his family's cabin) and yes, I loved it, but it was a queen and we have since moved up to a king-sized bed!
Next, when McKenna was on her way, I pulled out my trusty Pottery Barn catalog and showed him this picture:

and before I knew it, he had construced this great changing table!! It has now made it through 3 kids and will surely make it through #4!!
Now, a few months after Kenna was born we moved into our home - and a new house needs some new furniture right?!? So, out came the trusty Pottery Barn catalog again with a picture of some end tables for the living room:
aren't these just great!! ( I have two of them)
When we found out Harrison was joining our family, I knew we needed to finish our basement...but it was FREEZING down there! So, we went to buy a fireplace and saw some great designs. But then Adam decided he would just do it all himself - we bought the insert and Adam's woodworking talents finished the rest - I love it!
of course, we also needed to find housing for the monstrous t.v. and our many DVDs - Adam to the rescue!
When Harrison was old enough for a bed, we went searching for one, but then I received another Pottery Barn catalog in the mail and just couldn't keep my eyes off of this bed!
Adam went right to work and I still love it!! It has been a great bed for Harrison!We had completed most of our basement except for the bathroom, until Adam got the woodworking itch again (double vanity and all):
Oh...the "needing and wanting" never end for more furniture right?!? Well, we then needed more toy storage....toy shelves to be exact:
And now for the latest piece - Harrison's dresser - once again, pulled for that darn Pottery Barn catalog (I couldn't pass up the matching dresser!!)
Thank you, Adam, for all your awesome work!! I must, as I'm giving credit, thank his dad as well! We wouldn't be so lucky to have all this without Adam's dad being a woodshop teacher for so many years and taking the time to share his skills with Adam and all his siblings!!
(please don't judge me for the clutter around - that's the one thing I'm good at!!)

Holy Cow!!!!
I had no idea that you had that kind of husband. The furniture is beautiful and I love Harrisons bed and dresser.
Yah....Adam pretty much rocks!
That is SO impressive! Steve loves to do wood work too, but rarely finds the time. I think I need a pottery barn catalog! Oooohh....and baby number 4? Did I miss something? I'd better keep reading. Sorry I haven't been reading blogs much lately.

Thought you might like it! I'm in love! Steve reminds me that he is NEVER building book shelves again. I know, I know. They're boring and they're cheap. But there's soooo much more awesome stuff on here! I'm ready to get some sawdust all over!
