What This Actually Looks Like
Most projects don’t start with a perfect idea…just a problem that needs solving.
Below are a few examples of how that’s played out; different spaces, different constraints, different budgets.
Nothing here is a template.
Everything can shift - design, materials, cost, all depending on what you need.
Rotating End Table
One surface. Then another. Then whatever you need
Rotating top expands when you need space, disappears when you don’t
Compact footprint designed for small-space living
Built with clean lines and smart mechanics — no wasted motion
Typical Investment: $1500–$2500 (depending on materials + mechanism)
Slatted Bed
Clean look. Built-in function. No bulk
Slatted hardwood headboard with subtle angles - modern without feeling out of place
Floating shelves slide into the slats for the things you reach for at night
Built to last in hardwood, with a plywood option to keep costs down
Typical Investment: $1500–$3000 (depending on size, materials)
Dining Table
Not Precious. Just Useful
Big enought for dinner. Bigger when it turns into a work/study space
Built from high-quality Birch veneered plywood…because blowing the budget on a table makes no sense
Seats 6 comfortably (8 if everyone’s on good terms!)
Trapezoid base keeps it rock solid without boxing you in
Typical Investment: $500 (plywood)
Writing Desk
Nothing in the way. Not even the desk.
Clean, flat surface - no drawers, no distractions
Subtle angled geometry that keeps it interesting without trying too hard
Light enough to move when the words aren’t coming
Typical Investment: $500–$700 (hardwood only)
Small-Dwelling Built-Ins
Make the space work harder than you do.
Custom wall-to-wall storage designed around how the room is actually used
Combines seating, storage, and display into one clean system
Built-ins that reduce clutter without taking over the space
Typical Investment: Varies widely based on size, materials, and scope
Small Things Done Right
A few one-offs, experiments and gifts that unded up sticking around
The Night Owl
A jewelry box with just enough personality to sit out instead of being tucked away
The Sunset Tray
Layered hardwoods arranged to catch the light like the end of a long day
Roll The Night
Dice-shaped storage that doubles as a candle display - because why not both
The First Archive
A keepsake box built to hold the things you don’t realize matter yet
