HOLY SMOKES!

You may be wondering if my DADU project has been completed...it has...sorta!  I passed all of my inspections back in January (done with the city) and have been in a holding pattern while waiting for an artist to build shelves, a ladder and a railing for my loft space (not required by the city but I still want one.)  My first artist (my friends dad) ended up not working out (he did the woodwork for the Ballard pub, Skal: Skål Beer Hall) as he is super busy.  But I did find another guy, Dan with Innovative Finish ( INNOVATIVE FINISH, LLC).  He has done work with/for Tenpenny Studios (they inspired my wormwood wall: Ten Penny Studio) whom I wanted to be my original architects, but they were just too expensive for my budget.  

So, for context, let us remember the past with regards to the lumber to be used for shelves, ladder and railing for loft.  Tree slide show!

Windy top/bottom will be used as a shelf above the living room bay window.  Dan, his team and I all like how organic it looks.

Arc top/bottom will be cut and turned into shelves for the kitchen.

     There it stands!  It takes time but I am patient and believe it will be worth it once it is complete, and my tenant is moved in (he is very excited).  Thank you for your interest and support!
