July 2017 After the hardest winter in decades, and a spring arriving at least one month late, the lavender and roses are now blooming, and the garden has filled in. The full garden means less weeding and watering as the soil is not exposed to flying weed seeds and sun exposure.

Definitely a custom job on this one. The hardest part being the angled upper cabinet of course. The open shelving makes use of some of the space in back, but there is dead space back in there. Also tricky was accommodating for the HVAC intake which this unit covered over.

Details on Cabinets are great. They make the custom cabinetry look and feel like furniture. I believe that kitchen cabinetry is the hardest working furniture in the home. Studio K

Ipe is one of the hardest woods to work with, but Hull Historical did an amazing job with this ipe pergola. Notice the dove tail joints on the 6x12 beams, creating a solid structure across such a large span.

Hickory is a favorite of Texas and is one of the hardest, heaviest and strongest woods in the United States. It is distinguished by extreme contrasts of light and dark colors and has a dramatic and sophisticated natural look. Coupled with a darker stain this wood stands out as an elegant complex of flavor that can go traditional or with any contemporary design.

This chestnut colored bamboo floor is the hardest type of bamboo available. You can hit it with a hammer and it won't dent! The product comes in a click-lock construction, so you can roll out a layer of cork cushion underneath it. The product works well in 1970s home retro-fit because it works well with the darker stain colors of trim from the 70s and 80s.

This was a simple bathroom remodel but with a slew of challenges to overcome. We were confined to a very small space however we needed to redesign this bathroom to fit the needs of a master bath setup. Adding the archway over the shower/tub and the custom shelving really gave some style to the room and added some much needed storage, we also tried our hardest to make the vanity a true centerpiece with the backsplash and all of the additions.

A bathroom we completely revamped. Includes new vanities, tops, shower, and the handicap tub. The tub was probably the hardest feature in this one. It has 3 separate drains with a pump for them so you don't have to wait on water to drain along with an electric door that raises up and down. And of course Schluter-Systems North America water proofing behind it all!
