Initially, Tarah had wanted a backwoods-style path that felt less refined and more rugged. Drew, however, proposed a clean path that could be shoveled and provide greater clarity for guests. "In the end, Drew won, and I’m not mad about it," says Tarah. "It’s not as charming as I would have liked, but it’s very functional and so easy to plow during our cold, snowy seasons.

Sherry and John made a coffee table out of cutoffs from the home’s timber-frame posts. But the edges of the wood tabletop shrank and curled upward, only to flatten out again later. The couple decided to screw down the perimeter of the table, for consistency’s sake. “We figured it would crack, which it did,” says Sherry, “so now we have an earthquake-motif coffee table.”
