A wine cabinet in glass installation typically involves the placement of a glass-enclosed cabinet in a room or space, designed specifically for storing and displaying wine bottles. These cabinets may range in size from small countertop models to larger, floor-standing pieces, and can feature a range of design elements to suit different styles and preferences. The glass enclosure of the wine cabinet serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it allows for easy visibility of the wine bottles, making it simple to find and select a bottle for consumption. Secondly, the glass helps to protect the wine from sunlight and other environmental factors that can affect its flavor and quality. Finally, the glass adds an element of sophistication and style to the room, providing an elegant focal point that can enhance the overall aesthetic. In terms of installation, wine cabinets in glass typically require professional installation due to their size, weight, and complexity. The installation process may involve anchoring the cabinet to the wall or floor, or incorporating additional support structures to ensure the cabinet is stable and secure. Overall, a wine cabinet in glass installation is an excellent option for wine enthusiasts who want to store and display their wine collection in a stylish and functional way. With a range of design options available, it's possible to find a wine cabinet that perfectly suits your tastes and preferences while also enhancing the overall aesthetic of your home or space.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This Glen Ellyn couple wanted to transform their dated kitchen into a more family-friendly space to use on a daily basis for cooking family meals and for entertaining friends. The existing kitchen was quite chopped up with strange soffits and different ceiling heights. To make the space flow in a more logical manner, we borrowed an unused desk area from the adjoining hallway and reconfigured a neighboring bath. Getting it to work on paper was fairly straightforward, but there was a bit of complicated beam work involved as the new kitchen flows through what was an old exterior wall. The new ceiling is now completely flush as we were able to hide the support in the ceiling joists. A new, larger window was added at the sink, the doorway to the room was widened and the resulting space creates a more easy flow from dining room to family room. The clients chose white inset cabinets, white marble tops and an apron sink to keep the space feeling simple yet original to the home's Colonial styling. Ship lap siding on the back of the island and at the pantry storage ceiling, a walnut butcher block, and antique brass details give the space an updated look. Professional stainless appliances are functional and beautiful. In addition to a large built-in fridge and 36" range, a second oven is housed in the island for flexibility. The pantry area has a convenience station that houses the family's espresso machine along with the microwave drawer. Another large bank of cabinets in the same area serves as pantry storage for dry goods. The bathroom was also remodeled as part of this project. The full bath has a vanity, shower and convenient baby changing area. The floor is encaustic tile, a type of concrete tile recognizable by its bold graphics. The mirror and lighting add a few modern touches to keep it in line with the Owner's personal style.

Designed with an open floor plan and layered outdoor spaces, the Onaway is a perfect cottage for narrow lakefront lots. The exterior features elements from both the Shingle and Craftsman architectural movements, creating a warm cottage feel. An open main level skillfully disguises this narrow home by using furniture arrangements and low built-ins to define each spaces’ perimeter. Every room has a view to each other as well as a view of the lake. The cottage feel of this home’s exterior is carried inside with a neutral, crisp white, and blue nautical themed palette. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry and a long island capped by a pub height table with chairs. Above the garage, and separate from the main house, is a series of spaces for plenty of guests to spend the night. The symmetrical bunk room features custom staircases to the top bunks with drawers built in. The best views of the lakefront are found on the master bedrooms private deck, to the rear of the main house. The open floor plan continues downstairs with two large gathering spaces opening up to an outdoor covered patio complete with custom grill pit.

Changing the location of a back staircase was the key to enlarging the kitchen of a historic victorian style home. A built in pantry is enhanced with a french door original to the house. The bookcase unit allows for the full swing of the refrigerator door. Besides the farm sink base, all of the cabinets have a decoritive toe kick. The island snack top is supported with an apron and farm style table legs. The 36" range is vented through the custom wood hood and arabesque design tiles meet the granite counter tops. Other finishing touches are the farm style pendent lights over the island and under cabinet lights with light rail moldings.

This space completely transformed the flow of this house. Before it was a tiny galley kitchen that was the exterior wall of the home, and the family room was an enclosed patio. The client had no hope of merging the spaces but dreamed of an open concept kitchen. I kept the exterior supports and header in place and wrapped the beam plus added one false beam for balance (in the space where the exterior kitchen window had been), added millwork at the and extended the "island" into the step-down patio with tall bar stools on the patio side. In the end, the effect is that the space is an open great room and was always meant to be that way! (Photo Credit; Shawn Lober Construction)

A photo stream of projects that we've done anywhere between 2004 to as recently as November 2020. Most residential golf projects that include netting and the supporting structure generally range from $5,000-$8,000. This particular group of residences are in the Phoenix, Arizona area. These are all custom projects based on the client's needs and strikes a balance between protection and budget.

This project we recently completed in Manhattan Beach had an original floor plan with a dark, closed off kitchen. The homeowners' desire to open up the space by removing the common wall between the dining room and kitchen came with a structural challenge; we had to keep a support beam. Our Great Room feel was successful by removing the wall, but leaving just the post which we wrapped with walnut panels to match their new cabinetry. Our team also removed a section of the mirrored wall, turning it into a beautifully framed mirror piece to finish off the family's new Great Room.

By removing the wall between the kitchen and living area, the space opened up to new possibilities. A structural concrete pillar was thoughtfully incorporated into the peninsula design, giving the impression that it had always been part of the plan. This allowed for an extended peninsula with seating and supported the relocation of both the sink and range. Functional accessories including oil & spice pull-outs, a recycling center, and adjustable shelving enhanced everyday usability while keeping clutter out of sight.

The client Wants to expand the kitchen into the current dining room by taking out 2 walls and opening up into the living room. Put a large kitchen island with 2 supporting posts on each side.
