-- Clark Wood Creations: Hall Table --

One of the very first items that Lucas made was this wall-hanging shelf that we use as a hall table.  I just happened to have the camera out a while ago and the light was perfect so I figured it was time for it to make an appearance.

The hall table/shelf is made of black walnut and it has a danish oil finish that feels super smooth.  With three drawers, its the perfect place for Lucas to drop his assortment of items that need a place to land (wallet, cell phone etc...), mail that needs to be filed and other odd things.  

What I love about it is that even though we have a narrow hallway, we have a place to decorate for the seasons.

When we first installed this shelf I was in love with this wall paper... I'm starting to tire of it now but I still love the way the dark wood plays off the black and white of the wall paper.

-- CWC: Wall Hanging Cabinet --

Remember how months ago I blogged about our bathroom renovation and how it was *almost* finished?  Well three months later, I can check one more thing off that list of things to complete.

Lucas hung the bathroom wall-hanging cabinet late last week and I am in love!

Here is a look at how it looked before hanging it on the wall.

He built it out of walnut to match the bathroom vanity.  It has some beautiful grain to it and has tons of practical storage as well.

The shelves are adjustable so we should have no trouble storing all the medicines, extra shampoo bottle etc... that I have planned to stash away in here.  Check out the dove-tailed drawers...

We don't have pictures yet of it hanging on the wall, but I'll try to get some soon.  Only one more project to go before the bathroom is finished.  Lucas is making a hamper for towels with all the leftover walnut from the vanity and this cabinet.  He hasn't started it yet, but I'm hoping its finished before my family comes to visit for my convocation in June.

-- CWC Highlight: A Hall Table --

Its been a while since I bragged about my talented husband on this blog so its about time I showcased one of his pieces.

Lucas built this hall table for his sister and brother-in-law for Christmas and he did an excellent job if I do say so myself.  As with anything, there were a few hiccups along the way, but for this project, it certainly does feel like it all worked out for the best.



The table is constructed from solid wood material and while the base is ash, stained in a black finish, the table top is made from bubinga which has this purplish-orange-red hue naturally.

The table really is stunning and as is evidenced in the photo below, even the youngest family member is a fan :)
