In between projects for (paying) customers, I convinced my husband to tackle a couple of my ideas. About five years ago, he found some great old furniture on Craigslist, including this hutch. I had dreams of this becoming our new media console, which transpired this week. I also asked him for an industrial shelf above our bed. It's even more beautiful than my vision, as he used a live-slab walnut board. Thanks, husband!

When we purchased our home almost 3 years ago, our upstairs was gutted (open concept :) but the basement was chopped up into 14 or so rooms with half-walls, 3/4 walls, you name it. We had plans to completely redo it... but not right away. That first spring, however, 3" of rain made their way into our basement (the sump pump was not left behind) and we had to gut it much earlier than planned. This spring and summer, Marlo has finally had some time to devote to rebuilding the basement (in between customers' projects). Our inspiration is beachy, Pottery Barn inspired...

Former Masons' meeting space and warehouse building transformed into a fun corner store in downtown Lynnville. Keeping some of the exposed brick is part of the charm for Riverside Junction. This marketplace experience includes antiques, homemade items, Hawk Shop items, a photography studio and more.
