I finished the coffee table I’ve been working on for the basement this morning! A rustic arts and crafts style with a bit of Asian / Greene & Greene influence. Made out of black walnut.

This was supposed to be a super quick project… But I couldn’t resist throwing in some exposed joinery and a little bit of a live edge (I figure I have to look at this coffee table for probably the rest of my life, I may as well throw in some design features that make me happy).

My 2 year old really loves her Legos and their home seems to have landed in the basement, since its summer and it’s nice and cool down there and we just finished remodeling it. I worked in some hidden storage, and a play surface. When she graduates from Duplos to Legos all I have to do is undo 6 screws and flip the play surface.
