This kitchen is built out of 1/4 sawn rustic white oak and then it was wire brushed for a textured finish. I then stained the completed cabinets Storm Grey, and then applied a white glaze to enhance the grain and appearance of texture. The kitchen is an open design with 10′ ceilings with the uppers going all the way up. The top of the upper cabinets have glass doors and are backlit to add the the industrial feel. This kitchen features several nice custom organizers on each end of the front of the island with two hidden doors on the back of the island for storage. Kelly and Carla also had me build custom cabinets for the master bath to match the kitchen.

Banquet and table built for clients in Palm Beach, FL. Custom made table made out of reclaimed oak beams. They were planed down to size, custom cut, wire brushed to bring out the character, and stained. The table was fasted with 5"-8" bolts so that the table could hold the weight of the 3/4" beveled glass top. Custom made banquette for the space was custom designed and manufactured in house along with the table.

Hillcrest Construction designed and executed a complete facelift for these West Chester clients’ master bathroom. The sink/toilet/shower layout stayed relatively unchanged due to the limitations of the small space, but major changes were slated for the overall functionality and aesthetic appeal. The bathroom was gutted completely, the wiring was updated, and minor plumbing alterations were completed for code compliance. Bathroom waterproofing was installed utilizing the state-of-the-industry Schluter substrate products, and the feature wall of the shower is tiled with a striking blue 12x12 tile set in a stacked pattern, which is a departure of color and layout from the staggered gray-tome wall tile and floor tile. The original bathroom lacked storage, and what little storage it had lacked practicality. The original 1’ wide by 4’ deep “reach-in closet” was abandoned and replaced with a custom cabinetry unit that featured six 30” drawers to hold a world of personal bathroom items which could pulled out for easy access. The upper cubbie was shallower at 13” and was sized right to hold a few spare towels without the towels being lost to an unreachable area. The custom furniture-style vanity, also built and finished at the Hillcrest custom shop facilitated a clutter-free countertop with its two deep drawers, one with a u-shaped cut out for the sink plumbing. Considering the relatively small size of the bathroom, and the vanity’s proximity to the toilet, the drawer design allows for greater access to the storage area as compared to a vanity door design that would only be accessed from the front. The custom niche in the shower serves and a consolidated home for soap, shampoo bottles, and all other shower accessories. Moen fixtures at the sink and in the shower and a Toto toilet complete the contemporary feel. The controls at the shower allow the user to easily switch between the fixed rain head, the hand shower, or both. And for a finishing touch, the client chose between a number for shower grate color and design options to complete their tailor-made sanctuary.

The new guest bathroom design in this condominium has a floating vanity with flat panel dark wood cabinets and stainless steel edge pulls, white quartz countertop, irregular vessel sink, a round lighted mirror, stunning glass mosaic shower tile, and a coiled wire fabric shower curtain.

Most older homes had a special entry foyer to hang coats, or leave shoes and umbrellas before entering the living area. One of the previous owners removed the original foyer wall and doorway. The open look wasn't terrible, but looked very cheap, and not well thought out. We felt this little old house needed its special little entryway back. We extended the wall back out to somewhat separate the living room from the entryway, but didn't make the door opening as small as it used to be. Just enough to add separation. After we finished adding the wall back in, it looked nicer not to see the front door, the coat rack, and the entryway table and seating. The hand made iron chandelier was saved from a curbside brush collection! We rescued it, re-wired and hung it in it's deserving location. The foyer became its own special space to set down the mail, take off the shoes and come inside our house. Photo Credit: San Antonio Board of Realtors/ Sunny Harris

Although the renovation to the laundry room was mainly cosmetic, they still made a big difference In order to maximize the space in the laundry room, the framing had to be reworked and a pocket door was installed. Two new recessed can lights were wired to draw attention to the repainted cabinetry and accented floor tiling.
