Entertainment center install

Here I was installing a shop built box. Simple right? The challenge was to match the existing trim (I turned out to be molded from plaster of paris, never seen that before!)  I created moldings from existing profiles (both crown and base were built up from 3 three different pieces from Limback). Then the doors needed to be re-hinged, the original design had them sliding into the case but they protruded too much for comfortable viewing. Now they fold back and away to the right.

Overall the completed project matches very well with the existing decor- a beautiful design by Christina Merkelbach!

Working in a unique space.

This was a chance to work on a house with some history. It was designed by the same architect that designed the Frye Museum (Paul Thiry). These cabinets are in the master bedroom/bath and guest bath.

This is the bathroom side of the bookshelf at top!

Believe it or not but the shelves and drawers are removable to provide access to the otherwise inaccessible crawl space below this bathroom.  Restricted to skinny plumbers only!

Saving Space in a Downtown Condo

How do you create a hold-away table that is deep enough to be useful under a counter-top barely high enough to accommodate it?

The movie shows the final product in action. The table tops were fabricated at Kerf Design.
