Barn Wedding Venue

"I call Alex the Wood Magician! I wouldn’t even consider hiring anybody else to do any carpentry work for me."

Tammy Shafer

Founder of Bliss Barn at Sherwood Forest

Bliss Barn at Sherwood Forest is a barn wedding venue with a four-story grand hall with soaring 40-foot ceilings and a capacity to fit over 225 guests. We did all the woodworking except framing, including car siding, trim, and setting doors.

After the car siding was up, our client wanted to add cameras. We were nimble and figured out how to make her vision possible. We dadoed out and cut grooves into the back of boards to hide the camera wires.

This project required fine detail work. We carefully cut boards around HVAC system pipes and scribed boards so they fit perfectly. When Tammy saw the quality of our work, she called us back again and again to do shutters, an outdoor ceremony arch, shelves, and benches.

Shiplap Remodel

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:18:45 GMT

This one-of-a-kind remodel featured one of our favorite materials: shiplap.

Like many of our projects, this remodel started out as one request and ended up with us doing all the finish carpentry in the house. Our original task was to install 40 new exterior windows and doors. While we were replacing the windows, the owner mentioned wanting shiplap on every wall in the house, and we rose to the challenge.

We like putting up shiplap because it requires another level of precision and detail. Most people would rough cut 10 boards at a time, slap up trim, and rely on caulk to hide imperfect cuts.

Our approach is different. We meticulously cut every single board to ensure all the corners were tight with a clean look. We started from the bottom with a laser, and worked our way up to ensure everything lined up with perfect inside and outside corners, no matter what room someone was in.

In addition to the shiplap and installing exterior windows and doors, we also did trim, re-sided most of the house, and set solid core interior doors.

"You can really tell how much love and detail went into this silo conversion; the use of space is brilliant and the finishes are top-notch. I was blown away by the creative use of old bowling alley lanes for the spiral staircase and countertops—such a cool, unique feature! "

AirBnb Review

This home wasn’t someone else’s dream: it was ours. We’d always wanted to transform a grain bin or shipping containers into an AirBnb.

First, we found the perfect land for a rental property. It was 90 minutes from Omaha or Kansas City, and had a secluded lake and nearby trails.

Next, we moved a 24-foot grain bin from northern Nebraska to Missouri by tearing it apart, moving it on a trailer piece by piece, then reassembling.

CHALLENGE 1: CURVES

Most carpentry jobs involve straight lines, but the grain bin was a cylinder.

This meant we had figure out how to cut curved wall plates for framing and curve wood to make it a circle for the ceiling.

We also used this same secret formula (calculating the circumference) to build a curved staircase, vaulted ceiling, and cantilever deck. Our thoughtful process and planning made it work.

CHALLENGE 2: Layout

With only a 24-foot diameter and a 20-foot side wall before it vaulted up, another challenge was making the small space functional.

Upstairs, we designed a lofted bedroom area and full bathroom. The main floor has an open layout with a kitchen and seating area with a beautiful lake view.

"We appreciated that the space was very functional. The tall ceilings upstairs made the space feel so large."

CHALLENGE 3: ridges

Finally, the windows and doors we set needed to be cut perfectly to the grain bin’s metal grooves to ensure water didn’t get in. We wanted there to be a proper seal if it rained.

The grooves were also a challenge when designing a floating deck off the building. We used composite decking in silver maple with a combination of white and black railing.

Other highlights: ladder on the side for added detail, bullet proof glass skylight, shiplap type look for the walls, and different size rustic boards for the ceilings.

"The Silo itself was absolutely beautiful and the kitchen island was huge. So much space in the bathroom and the light coming in from the top of the silo illuminated the whole space. What a cozy gem!!

Papillion Home Remodel

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:18:42 GMT

This meant starting pretty much from scratch. We gutted the house, and by the time we were done, nearly every surface was new, including the deck, flooring, paint, trim, countertops, appliances, light and plumbing fixtures, cabinets, sod, roof, and AC unit.

We bought a home that wasn't well taken care of with the vision to transform it into one of the nicest properties in Papillion. We not only increased the value by over $250,000, but also created a functional, f ully updated home.

Entryway

Walking in, you'll see a grand entrance with an updated grand chandelier and new railing and spindles. We custom ordered 8-foot glass French doors, looking into a shiplap wall, and created a functional office, using all the square footage.

Kitchen

The kitchen layout didn’t make sense and wasn't functional for today’s market, so we switched up the layout and also added a breakfast/coffee nook.

Basement

We fully finished the walkout basement, opening it up with incredible natural lighting and adding a large wet bar for entertaining. This bar would be perfect for golfers to host, since the home is situated on Hole #2 of Tara Hills Golf Course.

Guest Bathroom

We updated the tile, flooring, countertops, plumbing and lighting fixtures, and mirrors.

Guest Bedroom

Each guest bedroom had its own walk-in closet.

Deck

We knew we needed to update the deck, so we went big with two-tone, double border picture framed decking. Originally, the stairs landed in the side yard and you had to walk around, but we built the stairs to land on the concrete pad we poured. We tore out the old tie wall and put in a limestone wall at an angle to open up the backyard.

Garage

We created a dream garage with epoxy floors and hexagon lights to brighten the space and show off nice cars.
