lol - I know its been a while since we all got married but my Dad was making me (and DH) a standing jewelry chest and we just picked it up last night. It is GORGEOUS. The top opens and it has a ring row and all sorts of little square open top boxes for earrings and such, a whole drawer with stacked/angled long slots for necklaces, bigger squares for DH's watches and stuff - simply amazing.
My parents are doing some updating at their house so their interior designer had stopped over to show them some samples and it stopped her dead in her tracks. She actually asked my dad if she would consider making them on a contract basis for her customers! He didn't commit because he didn't know how to price something like that out. This is the 3rd piece I have from him and they're such treasures. I have a HUGE 7' tall, 4' wide and 2' deep armoire he made for my 12th birthday as well as a mirror on a pedestal thing so you can tip it backwards and see your whole self in it from head to toe.
