This is a collection of cushions we have displayed and sold, made by our talented and creative friend Kim Yong-mi ( my friend Jake's wife). The colorful and original designs are popular and eye- catching, and sell quickly. The four leaf patterned pillows on the teak bench at the bottom of 2nd image sold after one day on display- i think a couple others have sold without being photographed. they complement our shop really well. So we're happy she's getting some extra income from her art.

We've made a few small 'consoles' of late. Ad YM finally painted the chest of drawers above which was made in the fall. I chose Japanese cedar for the patterned grain and weight, but it's still super heavy.
Far above, you can see that some of the used wood creations are occasionally popular. Typically , we use a lot of reclaimed wood for decorations, door and drawer handles, drawer faces, small doors, and frames. It's a challenge at times to use, with the many cracks, dry knots and slivers , but the raised grain and rich tones make up for effort.
