      No, sorry. My dad made it and I usually just do tutorials on stuff I build myself. He made it out of plywood (it’s not traditional shiplap like I normally use on my projects).

    Your house is stunning! May I ask where you got the inserts for the pillows?
    Thank you 🙂

      Thank you! I actually just used ones I’d had previously. I’m going to guess they were probably from like Amazon or Target or something.

    The horizontal ship lap against the window in the home office room does not look like Dorian gray nor simply white. Is this a different color?
    Thank you for sharing your amazing work!!!!

    Your office is amazing! I really like the combination of the classic shiplap and the chevron pattern and the color scheme. Such a relaxing and sophisticated environment!

    Can you show us how you organized the papers/files? Where do you keep them?

      We actually have very little paper in our home. Neither of us have any work-related paper content as we do everything online. We do have a filing cabinet (not in our offices) where we keep certain important paperwork/docs etc but it’s not something we need to access very often and is organized very simply by year and/or document type.
