Onefortythree started out as a blog about a house my now wife and I were working on. We purchased a half-finished log cabin and went to work getting it ready to move in to, doing all of the labor ourselves. The address is "143". A friend suggested I create a blog to document and share the house progress and projects. Once we moved in, I started making lamps and furniture for ourselves and friends. From the recommendation of fellow bloggers and followers, I opened an online shop and started selling my pieces. We haven't slowed down since.
