My advanced course in school has required that I create, among other things, a residence using ArchiCad. The program allows me to design anything I want and use any finish I want. It converts my floorplans into 3D images like this and I can alter the camera angles, lights and just about anything else to get a good "picture" of it.
This picture is of an office with a curved glass wall.

Freshly painted toyboxes. It was hard to take a sander to them and strip them of their newly acquired black finish!

The toyboxes were to be painted black and distressed to take on the look of weathered barn wood.

This is the second toybox that has no lid. Its purpose is for throwing stuffed animals and other toys in for quick tidy-up of the kids' room. It, too is made almost entirely of 1X4" pine strips and is very sturdy.

This is the toybox I designed and built for another friend at church. It is almost entirely made from 1X4 " pine strips. It is sturdy (I jumped in and played on it a while and I have come to the conclusion that the two little kids that will use it will not be able to destroy it any time soon!)

Not a bad pair, if you ask me. They turned out very well, and they are very comfortable. I have had a request to build a child-size version for a friend at church.

Summer proved to be the perfect time to try my hand at furniture building. This adirondak chair was the first of two that I built from a pattern by Sunset.com.

A first attempt at building something useful - a blanket chest made with scraps of wood from a job my dad (A skilled Cabinet Maker) did this past year.

Every Guinea Pig needs a place to do a little shopping, or in the case of mine, he recieves his daily rationing of hay here each night.
