Adding to the Collection

Almost a month ago, we added a piece to the Dennis Huntsinger Collection! Of course, I'm horrible at remembering to take before and during photos, so the after photo will have to do.

When we built our house, we always planned to put in lockers/cubbies in the back entrance from the garage. This is our "drop zone", the first place you come into when you get home. We had the trim carpenter give us a quote to build one when we were in the construction phase and we quickly decided that $800 was a little too salty for us.

Dad brought down the  piece almost a month ago now to install it and I don't know how we were surviving before! We have plenty of space to hang coats, put shoes and things you need to remember to take with you the next day. I plan to put baskets or bins in the shelves in the top and store our hats, gloves, etc. in that space. I just haven't found the perfect fit for the area yet.

It fits like a charm! This space has been waiting for this piece to arrive since it was built! I'm so thankful to have someone so talent to be able to build custom furniture that will outlast all of us! Dad, you are the best! I truly appreciate all of the furniture you have built us over the years, even the lovely dresser I painted when I was two. :)

Now that it's starting to warm up, the shop will start having seasonal hours, so there probably won't be any new pieces to the collection until Fall rolls around.
