Fabricated and installed these fireplace builtins. Truly custom with integrated vents routed into the face frame and went with a smaller base on face frame bc i had to account for gas turn on valve for fireplace (cut out a hole inside the cabinet, so still able to set the mood 😉 or stay warm) Inset doors for the win and red oak counter and shelves stained in ebony to contrast the Alabaster painted cabinets and hutches. All soft close Blum hinges. Made a new mantle that is also Red oak stained in Minwax’s ebony. This was Phase one of two, as I am currently wrapping up the cust’s mudroom. Keep a lookout for that and some other fun projects

Finished the main phase for this Library/bookshelf builtin for a client today!! Inset doors, adjustable shelves and some fluted trim pieces make this a nice statement piece for the home. There will be a ladder installed in future for those hard to reach areas up high. Ive always wanted to do a library for myself but happy I could make someone’s dream a reality. Definitely plenty of space for books now!!! Lets see how fast they fill it up!! Paint Color is De Nimes (a Farrow and Ball color).

Traveled to Union Pier, MI to help a client out with this modern privacy fence. There was an older Lattice style structure before (see pic 4 and 5 (taking it down)) and it was overgrown with vines and rotted out in many places. Thanks to for working on this one with me. We battled some rain delays but got it done in the allotted time we had (2 days). We also built some straight forward fire wood sheds that will have a metallic roof added to them later (pic 3). Overall happy and good practice for a future privacy fence I may have to do.

The infamous Corner Crap cabinet as my client called it!! Custom cabinet finished in Hale Navy using Gemini’s Evo 20 sheen. The top is Solid Ash, stained to match a color combo I used on a previous job, and cleared with Old Masters Armor, Satin sheen. Love how it all came together from the Hale Navy, to the soft brown/grayish stain. The profile with those handles works great also. Routed a “vent” for the HVAC they had in place and was told they “actually feel heat coming through” 🤦🏻‍♂️ haha
