Michael made this entry table for clients who lost their home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire in California. Also lost in the fire was a small table Michael had made that was fairly close in design to this one. This new piece is called “The Lilies” and was inspired by lily pads. “The clients were so happy to see the piece in place since everything they owned was lost to flames,” Michael said. “At one point I said, ‘Now you can begin. This piece will set the tone for creating your new home.’”
