Project: Coffee Table
Coffee table – who knew it would be so hard to find the perfect coffee table. Well, we searched for about 3 months, looked online, in stores, and even paused the TV when watching home shows on HGTV. Nothing. Everything was either too big or not our style. So, Bryce made it. Coffee Table It’s made out of walnut and matches the mantal and other wood accents in the kitchen.

Project: Fireplace Reno
Fireplace reno! Back in 2015 we swapped out our never used wood burning fireplace for a gas one (that’s when we got a gas stove, too).

Project: Big Ass Fan
First, know that this fan is actually a brand of Big Ass Fans. No, I’m not cussing – it’s the real name, and I believe their logo is a donkey, aka, an ass. Okay, you can see the before and how little the fan is – I think it’s a standard ceiling fan, so about 4 or so feet. The new one is an i6 and it’s 84 inches, so 7 feet. So much bigger! We had to get scaffolding to install it – 15…
