Kitchen Furniture Hand crafted Out of Oak

When you walk into my kitchen you see very modern kitchen with a large handcrafted oak dining room table, pie hutch, and serving stand.

It has no brand name because my great, great, grandfather built it. It was beautifully done with no machinery, but with his own two hands and simple carving tools.

It is large rectangle with leaves, trees, and family names etched in the corners. It has a large tree etched in the center that has our family name in it.

It has been passed down from one generation to the next, and I was fortunate enough to have it passed to me from my grandmother.

The pie hutch and serving stand is hand-crafted out of oak also. The hutch is almost seven foot and can hold three large pies on the top two shelves. It has the same etching on the front cabinets at the bottom.

The serving stand is about three feet tall, and has a tree etched on it with the saying “I shall serve thee.. Lord” on it. Read more »

I bought my son a set of bunk beds from Rooms to Go

I bought my son a set of bunk beds from Rooms to Go.

It comes with a desk and desk chair on one side, and a four drawer dresser on the other side, in oak.

The bottom bed is on wheels and slides out to make it easy for me to clean under it. Like a lot of children, my ten year old son likes to put things under the bed when told to clean his room.

We also bought him the matching bookshelf for his wall, which he uses half as a bookshelf and half as a flat surface to put anything he doesn’t want on his bed i.e. a plate of snacks, a juice box, and his N64 player and games.

We chose that particular set because it had the desk and dresser built in to the bed itself, and went well with his powder blue colored walls and the size and shape of his bedroom, which is rectangular, and measures about 14X15 feet. Read more »

Compare different wood to chose the best for your furniture

I have two different wooden kitchen tables.

One is an antique set that was purchased by my father and the other is a Omash set.

The antique was passed down to me and the other was purchased for function.

Oak is by far the strongest, so use that for large pieces of furniture.

Ash/Maple/Pine are all fairly strong, but cheaper than oak. Read more »
