A StairMeister Log Works custom 55-1/4" hand carved tread beetle kill pine spiral stair. This stair is totally custom, This stair replaces the previous submarine style metal stair. I designed this stair as big as I possibly could to fit the existing space and meet the 1-1/2" rail code. Notice the hand dovetailed joinery to connect the baluster to the tread with perfect contrast. This photo was actually taken by the owner on her cell phone. I just love this photo it captures so much! Notice how the first tread and the optional root base were perfectly rotated for easy access. Besides its size the landing and 2nd floor door above were the controlling factors in this design,

When it was time to remodel this Victorian home’s kitchen, I knew it needed to be in keeping with the architecture, allow for the latest in appliances, and to be expanded. In order to improve the traffic flow of the entire first floor and allow for a larger kitchen, the homeowners and I decided to move the laundry from the back end of the house into the bathroom. Next all the doors & windows in the construction zone were changed, and casing was added that matched the rest of the house. The simplicity of the rich quarter sawn White Oak cabinetry speaks to the Victorian’s love of natural finishes while the limited number of embellishments such as dentil molding, egg and dart molding, and hand-carved corbels highlight the love of artistic craftsmanship. The fanciful Michelangelo marble adds depth and richness to the kitchen. The counter top acts as a bridge between the oak floor, oak cabinetry, black appliances and white backsplash. The simple black liner in the backsplash visually connects the backsplash to the counter. Finally, the layout of the new kitchen allows for multiple cooks to be in the space at the same time by breaking up the kitchen into zones for prep, cooking, clean-up, non-food storage and refrigerated food storage. There are cutting edge storage gadgets such as super half-susans, and base pullouts. In addition, the new design creates a sitting area at the island for family and friends to congregate.

At first glance this rustic kitchen looks so authentic, one would think it was constructed 100 years ago. Situated in the Rocky Mountains, this second home is the gathering place for family ski vacations and is the definition of luxury among the beautiful yet rough terrain. A hand-forged hood boldly stands in the middle of the room, commanding attention even through the sturdy log beams both above and to the sides of the work/gathering space. The view just might get jealous of this kitchen! Project specs: Custom cabinets by Premier Custom-Built, constructed out of quartered oak. Sub Zero refrigerator and Wolf 48” range.
