Money can’t buy happiness—but it can buy furniture, and honestly, that feels pretty close.

After months of repairs, refinishing and more than a few do-overs, this nearly 100-year-old Jacobean Revival china cabinet is standing tall again.

Would this piece make you happy?

The sound woke up angry this morning.

Gray skies, strong wind and whitecaps made it clear who was in charge on the Outer Banks today. Would you stay inside or watch it from the porch?

Searching for new furniture ideas? Before buying something newly made, consider what an older piece could become.

This bookcase received a fresh finish and decorative side panels while keeping the character that made it worth saving. A room update doesn’t always require brand-new furniture—sometimes it needs a piece with history.

Some couples plan spa days. We brought fishing poles.

Our Outer Banks anniversary trip includes local food, antique shops and a little fishing by the sound. It may not be everyone’s ideal getaway, but it’s definitely ours.

What would your perfect anniversary trip include?

Bill wears a heavy prosthetic and still moves through the workday at a pace that keeps me hustling.

Whether he’s hauling furniture, solving a repair problem or working on the next restoration, he finds a way to keep doing what he loves. Somehow, he still manages to stay one step ahead of me.

Some people spend their anniversary week searching for seashells. We found money!

A TikTok creator named hides cash around the Outer Banks and posts clues to help people find it. We followed the clue and found this one tucked inside an Outer Banks visitor guide.

What a fun surprise during our anniversary trip. Thank you, takemymoneyobx!

It’s our anniversary week, so we traded sawdust and furniture projects for salt air and a little time together in the Outer Banks.

Building a business with your spouse isn’t always easy, but there’s no one else I’d rather work beside, laugh with and build this life with. Happy anniversary week to us.

Management has completed her inspection of our latest furniture project.

Her official review: acceptable—but payment in snacks is now overdue.

Around here, every restored piece must pass Lucy’s quality-control check.

Furniture people understand: there is always room for one more piece—right up until that piece has to make it through the gate.

We call it future inventory. Everyone else calls it a problem.

Please tell us we aren’t the only ones who keep bringing home furniture projects.

They always tell you not to blink because it goes by so fast. They were right.

One minute Xander Birchfield was the little boy letting me cover him in kisses, and the next he was graduating college and building a life of his own.

Happy birthday to my son. I hope you have the best day! I miss you, son, and I love you more. ❤️
