We've been having some fun, between design projects, installing signs for local businesses, all designed and fabricated by , who also created the vinyl signage for our truck. Those are some great looking sign, Nikki!

Giving back to our community is important to us!

Saturday we spent the morning doing habitat restoration, flinging frozen salmon carcasses into a local stream, just like they'd be after spawning. Someone caught our truck and a crew of volunteers in action. Can you spot Josh in his orange waders?

The color palette 🎨 for our moody bedroom refresh is chosen. Now the decor is coming together.

Sometimes a piece of art inspires our color ways, but see our earlier post for the rug that's informing this design. Of course, Bowie is always an inspiration.

What's a designer and fine carpenter - who is also a ramen, dashi, and Korean pancake maker - do for himself on his birthday? Check it out! 😋

We salvaged a piece of old growth fir from a kitchen remodel we did 20 years ago. Josh loved the patterns in it. Today he made himself a large pair of cooking chopsticks with some of the wood.

I'm sure he'll use them to make way more than Asian deliciousness. 🍲🍜🍥🥘🍤

Just before moving to Walla Walla, Josh was managing this kitchen project for Mallet Design Build, where he was employed. Sadly, he wasn't able to be there for the reveal, but we love seeing it finished. It's a beauty! 😍🔨

In this color drenched primary bedroom refresh, the rich blue and ruby hues enhance the yellows and golds in the rug even more than we anticipated, and make the 125 year old door hardware glow. Sweet dreams.

It's gratifying when happy clients send pics of the products you helped them select for their home. Their excitement is infectious. Now, on to help make vision into reality! 🔨📐🏠

Just three of the dozens of finishes we helped this family choose for a full remodel of the main floor of a classic mid-century modern home in Walla Walla.
