There is an old adage that hard work has its rewards. Our handcrafted furnishings definitely bring us immense personal satisfaction but it’s always an extra boost when we are recognized for our quality from sources other than within. We just learned that our Thomas Moser room at the Harraseeket Inn has received the Editors’ Choice Award for Best Designer Room in Maine by Yankee Magazine! Not only is our furniture ensconced in the room, we had the opportunity to decorate the space as well. Here’s what the editorial team at the magazine had to say: “For fans of Shaker-inspired furniture, staying in the Harraseeket’s chic Thomas Moser Room is a treat. This oversized space, decorated by Moser’s team, blends traditional and contemporary designs accented with works by Maine artists.” Now, that’s what we call a referral!
Last month we told you about Pantone naming Honeysuckle the 2011 Color of the Year. Well, this month we celebrated Honeysuckle by asking our employees to wear it on May 11.
Pantone refers to Honeysuckle as “A color for all seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it.”
Here are some snapshots of our employees draped in Honeysuckle!

Just in time for the 4th of July weekend, I want to introduce you to an artist with southern roots that everyone should get to know. Jasper Johns is an artist who was born in Georgia, raised in South Carolina, and rose to fame as one of the most important American Painters of the 20th century. Take a look at one of his most famous works: Flag from 1954.
With Jasper Johns, things are not always as they seem. He used the flag in order to comment on flatness in modern painting, and used dense brushwork to imitate the strokes of Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock, although in a controlled and deliberate manner. He
Acai Ultra Berry Slim comes in plenty of forms. What happens if they do comprehend something as that respects Acai Ultra Berry Slim. You’ll regret missing my ingeniously said thoughts in reference to Acai Ultra Berry Slim. I can’t sense of a reason for this, but you should utilize the Acai Ultra Berry Slim that you before now have. I would imagine that I may not be perplexed by that. It is best to use Acai Ultra Berry Slim to become something more. I, equivocally, have to be obliged to grok Acai Ultra Berry Slim. My experience with Acai Ultra Berry Slim is something I’ve been going through as well.
Back when we lived in the city and had a real income I used to get my hair cut by “Tony” at his shop. Tony was a great guy and he and his brother Dominic had a good little business going. By the time I left Burlington my haircuts were costing me $25. I didn’t mind paying it. Tony had a family and living is more expensive in cities, and he always offered me his homemade wine. Of course I never drank it, so I guess I should have asked for a discount.
When we moved to Tamworth I started going to “Karen’s Country Cutz”. Karen did a fabulous job on my hair and she charged $8. No really, eight dollars! But then there was a fire in the store next to hers on the main street of Tamworth and there was some damage to her place. Eventually she started working from her cousin’s home which is about 20 minutes south of town and working fewer hours and it was getting harder and harder to make an appointment with her. So I came up
When I began drawing what turned into the 12′x24′ Homesteader’s Cabin, I had intended to draw the plans for a simple 12′x12′ house – but I got carried away and it got bigger and bigger. This time I kept things simple and incorporated some learnings from that other drawing. I left out a lot of complexity too. The plans simply show the wall, floor, and roof framing for a tiny 12′ by 12′ shell.
The walls are 10-feet tall, which I understand is as high as you can go without having to add extra fire blocking. I’ve included drawings for two roofs pitches, an 8/12 and a 12/12. The benefit of the steeper 12/12 roof pitch is that you’ll have more headroom in the loft – but it’s a bit tougher to build because it’s so steep. Having been up on steep roofs like that I know how nice it is to have a porch roof to help protect you from falling off. The porch pitch is 3/12 –
Wallboard, paneling, acoustic tiles and linoleum flooring all had to go before the basement bath project could begin. Looking at the room for the first time with an eye towards remodeling was more than a little overwhelming. Years of just being a corner that was not used in the basement led to this area becoming a receptacle for everything imaginable. My seldom used tools, a card table that had long since lost function, a set of unassembled bunk beds were just the large items I could see were items that would have to go. Once removing these items I found an antique marble topped set of drawers. We spent the better part of a day just moving crap, much of it would find its way to the garbage.
With the room cleaned out, demolition could begin. Paneling would come off easily, and the acoustical ceiling tiles should come down quickly. As with
