…dinner on Skillet’s patio.

The past few weeks, especially this last one, has been really busy and I’m so thankful it’s Friday. I think it’s suppose to rain off and on for the next few days in Seattle, which is fine by me. It gives us a reason stay in some cozy, comfy clothes and curl up on the couch with my […]

Getting ready for today’s tradeshow and this showed up just in time.

Enjoying the flowers from the previous night’s event. Thanks again to the CWU students and admin for a great dinner event!

Working on a project for next weekend’s big event!

The big day finally arrives. As you can tell she is long and lean. She’s a true definition of a galley kitchen. Sam and his crew did an amazing job using every ounce of space without making it feel overcrowded or like the upper cabinets were skyscrapers.

Sam, thankfully, was patient as we hemmed and hawed over the decisions. As you already know, we had a big idea of knocking down two walls during the initial interview, which was reduced to removing […]

Once we decided to officially break-up with our kitchen, we needed to find the right person to help us move forward. After a lot of searching on-line, numerous phone calls, and a handful of visits with potential contractors, we met with Sam Adams of Cherry Design+Build, who was an architect with construction experience before starting his […]
