We are absolutely in love with this traditional style, custom bench. The combination of the more contemporary finished white oak with the classic lines and upholstery, really make this piece unique.
Building this was incredibly rewarding. The bead profiles, the flutes on the legs, the intersecting corner blocks and the joinery that brought it all together made this piece extremely difficult. The in-progress photos below hopefully give you a good sense of the detail involved in building this piece of furniture. But as with most challenges, completing them brings a unique satisfaction.
Despite the fact that this bench looks delicate, it is actually very strong. This is largely due to the floating mortise and tenon joinery and 1 3/4" hardwood frame that is underneath the upholstery. Our hope is that we have blended strength, beauty and functionality to create something that will last and our customer is thrilled to see each time they walk in their space.

This sumerhill condo got a full update throughout. We repainted the walls and replaced the flooring to completely refresh the space. Wainscoting was added for extra detail and character. Custom cabinetry was built to improve storage and function, and a built in mantle was added in the living area to create a strong focal point. The bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt with all new finishes for a clean, modern feel.

White Oak cabinets are a mainstay in many modern and contemporary homes. But this project riffs on the popular design in a new and refreshing way. A rich Bourbon stain, wire mesh cabinet door panels, and polished brass fixtures give this remodeled kitchen a refined and original look that’s not like the neighbors.
The warm, expressive character of the oak creates a strong foundation for the space that makes it feel like home. One of the kitchen’s most distinctive details is the use of wire mesh in select cabinet doors. The translucent panels break up the expanse of wood while offering a glimpse of what’s inside, adding a subtle layer of texture and visual interest.
Paired with the polished brass hardware and and carefully selected finishes, these details give the kitchen a refined, almost furniture-like quality. That’s especially apparent in the distinctly shaped kitchen island, designed to perfectly fit the space.

Before, this living room felt underutilized and visually unbalanced, with a disconnected focal point and minimal architectural presence. The space lacked both warmth and intention, leaving the layout feeling incomplete.
Our goal was to create a refined focal point that brings together both structure and comfort—true to our philosophy of balancing the home’s strong architectural elements with its soft, lived-in experience.
We reimagined the fireplace wall by introducing a clean, built-in composition with symmetrical shelving, integrated lighting, and a modern linear fireplace insert. The addition of custom cabinetry enhances both functionality and visual weight, anchoring the space.
A new chandelier adds vertical interest and elevates the room, while carefully selected furnishings, textures, and warm neutral tones create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.
The result is a grounded yet elevated living space—where architectural clarity meets everyday comfort.
