It's me, Liz, wife of Andrew the cabinet maker. I've been assigned the title Head Blogger...which is why the 'blog' icon on traditional-cabinetry.com has brought you nowhere for the past year of its existence.

When I'm not writing (ha!), I'm managing a household made up of a husband, 4 kids, and a dog named Hector. I love to encourage creativity through example and brain storming.

Let's start with the role each member of the family plays in the workings of TC, then next time we'll move on to the actual interesting stuff, such as employees and their fine craftsmanship.

Oldest son: Oliver. He's 7 years old, and full of ideas and distractions to keep the boss on his toes.

Then there's 4 year old Georgianna. Her position is general care and morale booster.

Margot, age 2.5, would consider herself the boss of the world.

Winston, 7 mos., is more of a silent partner at this point. He hasn't made his talent known, but we've got high hopes for him, too.

Five years ago we moved into an old farm house. After stripping it down to the studs, we've been putting it back together a little at a time. This house is 80+ years old, so it lacked closets, had a strange bedroom configuration upstairs, there was only one bathroom, half the basement had a dirt floor, and of course the kitchen was about 5 decades past its prime.

I will be posting pictures of some of our projects around the house, along with some of TC's current projects. Also stay tuned for an introduction of the crew Andrew has working for him!
