I had a bit of a lull in projects this summer. Most people have beach vacations or family outings on the calendar here in Wisconsin where the memories you make in the warm months have to sustain you during the unmentionable ones. As I usually do during this wane, I decided to turn my attention…
I recently sat down with Coppersmith to recount my Caledonia projekt. Take a tour of the Kitchen Living Room and Dining Room and watch me gush over that beautiful hood!
