This tower style linen cabinet, was commissioned by a customer looking to finish off their bathroom renovation with a custom made-to-fit linen cabinet that would match with their vanity. We designed and built this nearly 7 foot tall cabinet for the customer using traditional joinery methods, using rabbets and dados to hold the shelves in place for a very solid finished piece. Decorative molding and trim was added to the bottom of the cabinet and the legs provide a pleasing negative space under the tall cabinet. Prefabricated molding, that matched the customer's vanity, was added to the top of the piece for added effect. The piece was sealed and then finished with a white cabinet enamel. Decorative knobs were added to also match the vanity in the bathroom.

This aging pool had poor circulation and Betz did a total rebuild. Pressure testing revealed leaks which were located and fixed. The renovation required new plumbing lines, fittings, skimmers and pool lights. New black waterline tile now highlights the premium Pebble Fina smooth grey aggregate interior.
