Could you live in 258 square feet? We're not sure we could either, but it sure is amazing to see what some careful planning and clever design can do with that small of a space!

The photos give a quick overview, but you really want to see the first couple of minutes of the video to get the full effect...see more

Finish Enhancements - Glazing

Glazing is a very popular add-on to cabinets – it enhances the details of the door style and "hangs up" in distress marks, carved accents and moulding profiles. The material is flooded over the wood surface and then hand-wiped, making each piece unique. Glaze will settle into "open" woods such as Red Oak and Hickory, so the grain pattern will be more noticeable. On all wood species, a little bit of glaze will be retained across the entire surface, subtly altering the base color.

Recipe Roundup: Salmon

Wild salmon are just starting to move into NW rivers, and that has us thinking about recipes for this fresh seasonal bounty.  Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3s (which reduce inflammation), vitamin D, and a host of other nutrients. Wild Pacific salmon are plentiful due to careful management, and this promises to be a record year.

From wood plank grilled or parchment wrapped to glazed, poached and baked, there are hundreds of recipes for indoor and outdoor cooking. (And don't forget dips, salads, appetizers, even salmon chowder - yum!) Lemon and butter are classic ingredients, along with teriyaki, brown sugar, and pepper, but new flavors are being introduced all the time. 

Here are three incredible sounding dishes that we can't wait to try!
