Swan Queen
I knew I wanted a statement piece to be visible as soon as you stepped into my cottage. As you enter the turret through the front door, you face an open doorway into the great room. Something amazing needed to…
Turret Window Ledge
The window in my turret is rounded on top, so I knew I wanted to trim it differently than my other windows. Toward the beginning of the pandemic lockdown I was looking for projects and decided to make a fancy…
Great Room Chandeliers
