Coffee Hutch

So on my birthday last year in October, my brother, Cam told me he wanted to make me this coffee hutch that I'd been talking about wanting. I saw a picture of a similar design awhile back and fell in love with the idea. I make a lot of coffee, and my collection of mugs and coffee and coffee gear has grown quite a bit over the past year, so I've been needing a place to store it all.

The project was postponed for almost exactly six months. And since Cam moves up to Wisconsin this week to be with his fiancee, Anna, he and I (mostly him) worked super hard to finish the hutch before he leaves. We got it done yesterday, and today was my first morning using it. It's so awesome! It's such a cool feeling to have designed a piece of furniture and have it brought to life. Cam did such a wonderful job making it become all I hoped it would be, and I'm excited to get lots of use out of it in years to come.

Here are some photos I took this morning while I made coffee - there will surely be many more.
