Bob can build it!

Many of you have seen the carvings my hubby does.  He's got a real talent at doing caricature carvings, but he started out with bigger things and recently completed a bedroom suite for us.
I've shared some of the pieces before, because it's taken a while to get the whole thing done.  I'm going to start where he started and share each piece with you.

It started with this mirror.  When we got married, (32 years ago) we had a waterbed with a big headboard.  This mirror was in it and he wanted to save it when the bed died.  He ended up making this frame for the mirror.

 

Next was a headboard.  He wanted to match the curve in the frame, and you will see this curve in the other pieces.  This headboard and several other pieces were made with oak that came from trees on my uncles property.  It was land Bob used to hunt on which has now been sold, and this adds sentimental value to the wood.

 

 

My nightstand.  I told him I didn't want mine to be open, because I have lots of "stuff" to put away!

 

 

His nightstand.  Unlike me, he only needed one drawer for his stuff.   :)

 

 

Bob's Armoire.

 

 

He put this row of little drawers to keep the little things that usually end up on top of a dresser.

 

 

My dresser.  He finished the dresser last year, but the final piece was the mirror which was completed last week.  This dresser has a row of smaller drawers, which are very handy.   One drawer is really special though...

 

 

He made it a jewelry drawer.  There are partitions of different sizes, and the top piece which slides back and forth.  I love the special touches he added.

 

This suite is beautiful and so well made, but what makes it so special is the person who made it and the love that went into it!
