I like to make lists. Sometimes I like to make lists of things that I've already finished, just so I can check them off. Completing things is just the best. That being said...
Kitchen Island- CHECK
Cast-iron accent wall - CHECK
We've got other things on the checklist, but I'm pretty stoked about these two. Zach has worked so hard to make our new house feel like home. He works his regular full time job at a granite shop and then works on projects for Fuse or our house in the evenings and on weekends. He got our new kitchen island done just in time to host his family for Thanksgiving, and it was perfect. It served as a gathering place... we cooked around it, we ate around it, we gawked at it (because it's gorgeous y'all - I'm more impressed with it every single time I look at it).
From the moment Zach brought these freshly milled pieces of mesquite home from a local mill, I knew this thing was going to bust out the top of the awesome scale. Then we enlisted the help of Zach's dad to get the mesquite top perfected (thanks Glenn!). Please note the ever important supervisory role that I've taken on here, hands on hips and all.
And the finished product blows my mind, I just love it. And if you don't, well... we probably can't be friends then. Just kidding, just kidding - it's fine, everybody has their own preferences, I guess. I would be willing to bet that Zach can custom make you something you do like though, go ahead and send in an order and we'll see what we can do for you. ;)
Are you wondering about item #2 on my checklist? The Cast-iron wall? You can see it in the background of the pictures above, but here's a closer look. In case you were wondering, it's awesome too.
We're so excited to have these things checked off of our list. Here's a few other things we'll be working on getting checked off soon.
*Peg boards for a local CrossFit gym
*Several tic tac toe boards for a wine room/gift shop
*A bench for a kitchen table (Melanie, if you're reading this - we promise we'll have it ready by your birthday!)
