Guild member, Matt Vanderwater, recently built a set of beautiful Adirondack-style rocking chairs, side tables and deck chairs with ottomans for one of my (Maureen's) Helena clients. I was impressed by Matt's craftsmanship and professionalism.

Check out the stunning color of Matt's Adirondacks in this garden. My client chose the paint color for the chairs. This intense teal blue truly creates a focal point on the ipe deck, as well as down on the circular paver patio next to the deck.

Guild member, Tim Carney of Timothy's Fine Woodworking recently installed two mahogany doors in a Helena Craftsman Bungalow. The detailing on the main entry door is Arts & Crafts style, with a Celtic design etched into the door's window. The kitchen door is a simple Craftsman style door, also in mahogany.
