Chris’s projects for .homes shore cabin this week included a new staircase rail - sured up to 36 inches along the stairs and 42 inches termination height at the top to meet safety codes. Also, a ton of v-groove pine in the basement went up - horizontal on the stairs and vertical in the main area. All about those detailed, precision cuts and getting the angles right. 👌🏻-M

Introducing our new logo! This is a special one for us, as it builds upon a family design. Before retiring, Chris’s mom was an independent architect and hand-drafted a “Liot Design” logo for her business. With her permission, we took her logo and updated it with a carpentry flair (ie. a hammer). We’re proud to move forward with a piece of family continuity at the forefront of our business.

A couple of years ago, we upsized to a king sized bed and Chris put his mind to making a us a new headboard. I asked if he could do something with a chevron-type pattern. The result? Six types of wood in a herringbone pattern, with an Ash chevron accent row and a Walnut finishing border. He put almost 200 hours into this beauty, prepping and finishing each individual piece of wood before fitting them all together. -M
