My hubby and I recently celebrated our fiftieth ceremony birthday, in the past, we’ve been rather sporadic about exchanging gifts… We’ve often been far too busy to even celebrate our birthday, and this year, we decided to make it special… My great friend and I arranged a costly dinner with the whole family.
With us, our kids, their spouses and the grandkids, there are eighteen of us.
I also wanted to find the perfect gift to surprise my hubby, and after a lot of debate, I finally came up with a gun cottageet. My hubby is a hunter and a collector. She has a gun that belonged to her good Grandpa and multiple limited edition pieces; Because she is unquestionably conscientious about safety, the guns have constantly been locked away. They are quite beautiful and honestly deserve to be on display. As soon as I started looking at the odd gun cottageets for sale, I knew that I’d need to invest into a custom design, then everything I found was either too small, poorly constructed or ugly. I was determined to purchase a tasteful gun cottageet that would contribute to the decor of the home, keep the guns secure and accommodate my hubby’s entire collection. I contacted a local custom furniture builder who was seriously helpful. She recommended that I take measurements and photos of the guns. My great friend and I then worked together to design a cottageet to showcase them. She recommended drawers for accessories such as ammunition and cleaning tools… Plus, the custom furniture building was willing to toil within my limited timeframe. She also agreed to deliver the gun cottageet while we were at our birthday dinner. My neighbor helped him get everything set up. When we returned property from dinner, the gun cottageet was in place with a big red ribbon on it.
