Now that we’ve remodeled the kitchen, our friends who have kindly complimented are work are now inspired to do a few projects with their kitchen, too.
Our study area is named the Patrick Henry Room, after the 18th century homeschooler who became the firebrand of the American Revolution.
Not wanting an orangy look, I chose this dark walnut for the stain, which brings out great contrast and richness, complementing all those gorgeous trees.
