Some personal projects and furniture restorations I have conducted in my free time.
I discovered my passion for building and creating when I was 12 years old, and I wanted a doll house that I couldn't find in any toy catalogues. So I decided that I would build it instead. I designed the house with its' measurements and components on Sketch up and with help from my grandfather, cut out the pieces of wood and assembled and painted the house. It was 1.5m high (taller than me at the time) and was my pride and joy.
