All of the furniture used in the great room was purchased from local thrift shops benefiting charitable organizations. The reduced amount of fuel and pollutants used shopping locally reduced the carbon footprint required to furnish and install this home. John Robert Wiltgen Design, Inc.’s nearby refinisher and upholsterer took the bare bones of these pieces and brought new life to them using recycled fabrics and low V.O.C. paints and stains.

This charming fireplace provides the foundation for this cozy living room area. This is just a classic look for a stone fireplace. I love it when the fireplace is boxed out like this, it provides it with some real meat on the bones. This exact design is a custom creation by Mark Correll. You'll notice the framed in look to the fireplace and the stepping out at the mantle area. Not sure if this install included lighting but typically we will run small spots lights into the little ares under the mantle so the fireplace can be lit up even without a fire... perfect for the summer months. This stone application is done with a grout joint, it mixes in so well this this stone you barely even notice it and the stone stands out. It's a classic look for a traditional room, beautiful!

This was a full update kitchen and expansion of the Island project. Debating few layout, stripping down to the bare bones and many weeks of labor, its finally done. Mixing cold and cool colors of pure white and grey, subway tile, hardwood flooring and plenty of storage space. I think we did good job!

These clients were returning to their property after being gone for 15 years. The House was extremely dated and many things were in disarray. Moving or building a new home was not an option. So I created a beautiful living space for them to enjoy for the next few years until time to sell. Every ounce of the house was touched up in someway. From the old dated sliding closet doors to the bare bones of the new and fresh kitchen.
