A Built-In to Replace a Chimney

This built-in replaced a chimney that was no longer used. How nice to use that empty space instead of drywall-ing over it!

2010 Home Show

Hardwood Staircase, Hardwood Flooring, and Slate Tile Entry

This flooring was "real" oak hardwood; 3/4" thick, medium grade, red oak. Educate yourself about "real hardwood". Often times what you see on TV is laminate or engineered wood flooring, but it is called hardwood. Each type of flooring has different benefits so learn what is best for your situation and life-style.

The staircase treads and risers were also covered in hardwood. The entry was tiled in slate.

Bath Access and Tile Work

The customers on this project had already bought their vanity. We made a stained-to-match access panel for their bath, laid tile in a straight-set, and tiled around the bath.

Basement Bedroom

This basement bedroom is 9'x13' with less than an 8' ceiling height. A few tricks were used to make it feel bigger than it is.

Setting the tile rug tricks your eye, making the floor space appear bigger than it is.

Creating a wall of built-in cabinetry allowed the room to have a consistent look without feeling "heavy" due to the small window.

Using Roman arches on the egress window and cabinets makes the room height appear higher than it is.

Since the ceiling height is low and the room small, crown molding was used so that your eye follows around the room matching up with the cabinetry, much like a decorative border in a small bath leading into a tile shower.

The final and biggest impact is the addition of the wall-window. "Ground" glass was used here so that light could pass from the egress window, through the wall-window, into the family room. With the addition of this third window and recessed lights, this small bedroom feels much larger and lighter.

Corner Gas Fire Place

This was an interesting combination of faux stone and red oak. This was one instance where everything needed to be custom built because of the fire box size, existing outlets, venting issues, and proximity of the picture window.

If you are considering a fire place remember to take into consideration what you will need to work around.
