We are lucky to house a few pieces of furniture that have been handcrafted by my father in law. He has an amazing talent for working with wood. Pair that with my mother in law's eye for detail and design and they create beautiful works. For Christmas, they offered to buy us a hutch for our dining room. However, we couldn't find just the right one. Enter my father in law. He built this one, modeled after one we found on line and beefed up to fit the scale of our dining room. We LOVE it! The glass on the top is antique, but not as much as it shows up in this picture.
This hutch, like Thomas's crib (see below), was crafted out of maple. The maple is from the tree that grew outside Alan's bedroom window when he was growing up. Pretty special, huh?! Here is a flash back to October of 2006 when the crib was finished. An extra bonus was that they made this a convertible crib. He has been sleeping in the big boy bed since he was 18 months old :)
