“The most dangerous phrase is: ‘We’ve always done it this way.’”
–Grace Hopper
This Women's History Month, we're reflecting on the contributions that all of the strong women in our community continue to make each day. We also reflect on the people that stand beside or rally behind them.

Working in a male dominated field is both intimidating and empowering.
There are absolutely assumptions that I just answer the emails and sit behind a desk. Don't get dirty. Don't use power tools. Don't "need-to-know."
Then there are days that it's my superpower. When I get to work alongside other women whether they're clients, reps, or other women in badass fields of work.
The rest of the days are just -days-. And that's perfect.

Like anyone, I don't know everything. It's hard to admit that when the bar is set so high for you specifically.
But regardless of gender, isn't every day an opportunity to absorb more? Do better, grow?
And if you don't share that attitude, well, your ego might outlive your purpose.

Go support a woman-owned business. Let your daughters help with the oil changes and gardening and garage projects if they want. Read a history book. Vote. Stop shitty attitudes in their tracks.

And work-wear goddesses, if you're reading, PLEASE make better work pants for us.
-Hayley

Progress on a neat little basement project. This will serve as storage and a bar area for hanging out, and could easily serve as an in-law suite down the road. This little kitchenette will house a mini fridge/freezer, microwave and a bar sink. It even has a pantry. Not much wall space, but packs a punch with storage! We are digging this blind-corner set-up, too.

A small stair landing in a beautiful townhome turns into storage galore! Linens, ironing board, laundry baskets, oh my!
Thank you J&E for sharing your sweet ideas with us so we could turn them into reality.

Less is more... A simple, utilitarian kitchen for a new home up above Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island. We didn't get a picture of the view, but trust us, it steals the stage.
For an avid baker, this was designed around custom counter heights to accommodate different prepping stations! Lots of room for storage + cookbooks galore.

Peep the tubes of caulk/cleaning products...Projects never die, they live forever!

A blend of old and new in this kitchen, perched on what feels like the very tippy top of Orcas Island. Thanks to the folks over at @mobileofficearchitects for inviting us to help build this!
