Loading Them Up

Sorry for the length of time in between blog posts. We have been hugely busy, with a lot of big orders, and with figuring out the logistics of crating and shipping big beams. Here are some pics of us loading up our order to Dallas last week. We crated up a bunch of gigantic beams, the longest was 25 feet long!

7 big crates, 3 of which had beams tucked into beams...10 beams total

Y'all have a good week.

2014 Habitat Home Expo Show

We at Ourso Designs and The Olde Mill were excited to participate in 2014's Habitat Home and Garden Show in Baton Rouge last weekend.

We were honored to win Habitat Home and Gardens 2014's Best in Show for Double Booth. We made a booth to showcase our two companies, Ourso Designs (kitchen and bath design), and The Olde Mill (wood shop producing custom hollow ceiling beams, tables, mantels, and more from antique wood). Our booth was actually made from our hollow box beams, and showcased our design and wood products.

Thanks to everyone who worked to make the event a success, and thanks to everyone who came and saw us. See y'all there in 2015.
