About Me

My husband and I are 35 years old, have three children (13, 14, and 15) and have been married for 8 years. We work together and build furniture. We didn't start out with that in mind, however, a friend of mine needed a console table and so she paid me to build it after I spent A LOT of time on Ana-White.com. I felt we had the skills to do this even though neither of us have ever built before. It was such a great experience and the outcome was so great that I've since been contacted by a couple other people to build for them... and so our career in furniture building began.

My husband was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in Feb. 2009. Since then we lost our house we were building, two cars and a commercial vehicle that we had. We have literally started over with our life. He had brain surgery in Feb/09 to remove the massive tumor and even though the surgery went well, it left him disabled and unable to work. So, for nearly a year, we sat here at this house depressed as ever. I couldn't work because it left him alone and with his condition, that just wasn't possible.

Our first build was the console, as I mentioned before. Designed by me and constructed by both my husband and I. We are hooked and can't wait to see where this new adventure takes us. :-)
