1x8 sheathing cutoffs make a great wainscoting type finish with a continuous sill under the windows. This creative countertop has a light underneath that glows through the glass beads set between the tiles. Inspiration from a magazine and a tight doorway make for an interesting custom door.

A house or a barn? These custom panels act as storm shudders for this house on Shelter Island, NY. A second floor deck and extra wood strips added for a "board and baton" look with the standard siding. A field stone fireplace and another continuous sill made from the extra sheathing.

But where am I going to store all my Beanie Babies? We've got an answer for that one too! A little glass between the posts gives you some great CD storage. The ceiling beams give a great opportunity for more creative shelving for the kitchen.
