I have spent 10 years clearing out this woods, I thought I would like to add a spot to enjoy relaxing or reading. |

I have built three of these gazebos. It takes a lot of time but it is really worth the effort.

On the bottom part of the new porch I added ovel windows to create a warmer feel and a unique style to the house. |

This is what the other side of the living room looked like before I moved the wood stove to the other side of the living room and then started to drywall and paint.

House #1 My first house in Petoskey.This is a picture of the old kitchen cabinets just before I took a wrecking bar to it. |

House #1 There was at least 6 coats of paint on these old kitchen cabinets. All the cabinets made around 1930.

House #1 New Kitchen I wanted to keep a country feel to this new kitchen so I made sure to keep all the edges soft and finish them with a light stain |

House #1 New Kitchen |
|
With a small house every inch had to be used for cabinet space. All of these cabinets were built by hand to make sure that every inch of space could be used.

House #1 New Kitchen |
|
To create a "French Country" theme I added beams and finished them with three coats of finish. All the wires run above the ceiling and can easily be reached with no problem the the home owner. |
