Some frosting for our cake

This weekend brought a few nice touches to the house. Just in time for our neighborhood open house, coming up this week. Not that there aren't still missing pieces...like kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities baseboard trim and window trim, but we're getting there!

A new mudroom bench 

And then a new mudroom shelf

Wood toppers to bring the stools up a couple inches (since the bar top got a little too high)

Island butcher block

And a new counter in the pantry

The best part about the bench and the stool toppers is that Nate made them from the walnut tree we had to cut down. You never cease to amaze, Nate Bosscher!
