If you've followed my blog over the years, you've seen some of Del's work. He builds furniture as a hobby - and loves it.
This year, Kylie and Mike have been the recipients of much of Del's love.
Of course, when Preston was born, there was the changing table.
For Christmas, Del made Mike and Kylie a set of book shelves, the same that Del and Jordan made me several years ago. Mike and Kylie are buying a new home that they'll move into next month and so we thought it would be nice if they had some nice furniture to put in it.
So the first two pictures are the new bookshelves, minus the shelves in them, but the last one is mine, so you can see what they will look like. They come in a set of three - two tall ones and one shorter. And they are gorgeous.
I'm so impressed with Del's work; especially since I know the time and effort that goes in to the finished project. He made these bookshelves in just over 6 days...early morning to late evenings he spent outside in our garage, cutting, sanding and perfecting each piece of furniture. It's his therapy. And talent? Yes, he has talent to imagine and create what he makes and then puts just enough love into it that the beauty is enhanced in the final project. You can see it. You can touch it...you can feel every ounce of love he put into it...and then it's yours.
Thank you Del.
