It's sentimental because the wood is from the trees that we took down in 2006 and 2007 from the house I owned before we got married. We took out 26 hardwood trees. He has since then made a HOMEMADE sawmill and milled the cherry, red oak, white oak, and black walnut veneers.
The slate fronts are made from the shingles from an old barn that we dismantled that was on his grandparents' property (where we live now.) They also match the slate inlay pieces that he cut into the tile that made a design around the bathroom. He is soooooo talented! I love all the extra sentimental aspects. The WHOLE house is designed like this. It's a slow process, but oh so worth it!
Most people don't get it. But we do and that's what matters.
Oh Kathy, it is oh so lovely. I love the wood and the slate. What a tremendous job.
