For this particular overlay project we used Elitecrete Thin Finish and applied a smooth base coat in a dilution of charcoal stain. The textured top coat, done in a dilution of chocolate stain, was then added to complete the look. The joints were filled with a bronze joint fill.

Tucked into a corner of the dining room, this butler’s pantry is small but has a lot of style, with its metal grout joints and oversize antiqued tile. We repeated the brass plumbing fixture – it’s from the same collection as the kitchen faucet. The clean, sleek lines are perfect for this small space. Photo © Alyssa Rosenheck 2016

No two timber frames are ever the same. Contrasting dowels add a special touch to the timber joints.

This is southern yellow pine at its finest! 1 inch copper pipe! 4 x 6 beams! Interlocking 2 x 6 boards! End result customer was astonished! This pergola was constructed using methods never used today except by me. All of the intersecting joints use mortise and tenon joinery. All of the copper pipes are recessed into holes. Some of the mortise and tenon joints are double bypass. That of course probably doesn't mean much to the average reader. But if you are a woodworker you know exactly what I'm talking about and you understand the difficulty of assembly. I also challenged myself on this one by constructing it from some very simple drawings and no real plans. It was all done in my head! If you think that I'm bragging it's only because I am!

Staircase - transitional staircase idea in Orlando

Lush grass serves as a living joint between flagstones creating a courtyard that overlooks the cozy patio just outside the french doors. Nestled in between is a jacuzzi spa.

Few things are more time-honored than the classic contrast combo of black and white, or Frosty White and Ebony. This white oak kitchen captures it all and achieves it with grace! John of @shannslaughter described the remodel by saying, “Our house is small, old, and completely lacking standard measurements, square edges, etc. The ability to get the cabinets made to exact specifications let us maximize our available space.” The long, narrow pullout units to the right of the fridge, custom wine storage, and a window bench are examples of how storage is artfully integrated into the heart of this home. The matching countertop and backsplash and black island chairs weave consistency and nuance into this fabulous remodel.
