This kitchen isn’t just a pretty face—it’s built to perform! Think maxed-out storage, a massive island that does it all, bold finishes, and plenty of room to breathe. Want your kitchen to do more? Here are ways to get the most out of your space: Take cabinets all the way up—more storage, less clutter. Use your island for seating, prep, and storage. Mix light and dark finishes for a modern, balanced look. We also added open shelving.

Here, we designed custom floating shelves that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding space, thanks to a striking backsplash tile that continues from the kitchen walls. The result? A cohesive, elevated aesthetic that balances both beauty and practicality. Maximize your open shelving with these design tips: Curate with intention – Display a mix of functional and decorative pieces to create visual interest: cookbooks, plateware, and art. Stick to a color palette – Keep it cohesive by coordinating dishware, frames, and accessories. Layer textures – Combine ceramics, glass, and natural elements like wood or greenery for added depth. Prioritize accessibility – Keep everyday essentials within reach while showcasing special pieces up top.

Built from solid USA-sourced Cherry hardwood, this custom vinyl record storage cabinet provides dedicated space for a turntable, vinyl record collection, Bluetooth speaker, and other listening essentials—all while serving as a beautiful furniture piece that complements the surrounding room.

Inspired by classic mid-century design, the cabinet features clean lines and tapered legs that pay homage to the golden era of vinyl without feeling dated. Purpose-built compartments keep records organized, the turntable easily accessible, and speakers neatly integrated, creating a dedicated listening station that's both practical and inviting.

Every board is individually selected for its unique grain and natural beauty, ensuring each cabinet is one of a kind while offering heirloom-quality durability.

This next bathroom transformation was absolutely incredible! The bathroom hadn’t been updated in over 60 years and was ready for a new facelift. Project Manager, Anthony Mulligan, and Designer, Sarah McDonald, worked their magic to create the idea for what this space would look like.

The built-in niche offers an ample storge space for all the shower essentials. The new vanity was converted from a single bowl to a double bowl, adding both style and practicality. The change not only enhances the overall look but provides more space for morning routines. The old pendant lights were taken down and replaced with chic, modern wall sconces. The new fixtures provide the perfect amount of lighting for the space. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and our masterful lead carpenter, Ryan Smith, crafted a space that was not only beautiful, but highly functional. We’re thrilled with the results, and we are so happy the homeowner is, as well.
