The Finished Project

The one project became two, as one day, Kylie
and I bought a shelf from the store, the men saw
it and starting their critizing of it's detailing.
We aren't stupid women...we challenged them
to make a better one....and they did!!!


The men in our lives and their
proud work.


The cabinet with the changing pad.



Kylie's reaction as the garage door lifted and
unveiled the completed dresser.


Now...if Preston would just get here!!!!


The men will be moving the changing table and shelf over to Mike and Kylie's place next week before the baby comes. It really is quite beautiful!!
There are such details to the detailing of this heirloom - more than just the beautiful wood and the carefully chosen hardware and stain. More than the countless late nights and very early mornings. More than the finishing and re-finishing of every square inch.
It had to be perfect.
And it is.
There is much love put into this project.
This is for Del's first grandchild.
This is for Preston.

A sidenote to the significance of today...
Happy Birthday Jordan.
I love you son.

And, as always...another birthday..another year gone by, but not forgotten...the 27th..He should be 52 this year, I think...Happy Birthday Jeff.
