Nice place. Ought to keep you busy for a while. You must be pretty tall to reach those upper kitchen cabinets.

I'll put the wife on my shoulders.

The designer for our new house wanted to put in a second row of cabinets like that, to balance out the tall ceiling and windows. She was good and we used a lot of her ideas but I vetoed that one. I think it looks fine without them.

What size is the shop? Both it and the house look really nice. Congratulations!

The house has really tall ceilings and doors, it makes it feel really airy though. The shop is 40 x 50, I think 12' side walls, but maybe 14'.

About 20 x 40 feet of the shop will be made into a recreation/bunk/trophy room. I'm thinking something in this style, maybe.

I used reclaimed materials for a building we turned into livable space. Old metal against old wood is a really nice look. Sort of gives a timeless impression.

Your idea will go over very well for a foreseeable future.
