Custom Built-Ins
I had a client that was into Japanese furnishings and she introduced me to Tansu Chests.
In the spirit of Tansu, I designed and made these Cherry pieces for a guest suite.
Bathroom vanity, tub surround, shower fascia, window seats and a kind size bed.
The grilled headboard above is the "tansu" bed. In my research I discovered that the light
that passes through shoji screens resembles moonlight, so I let in shoji paper behind the grille
and placed a light behind the headboard to wash that soft light over the bed linens.
We designed and built this Victorian style Library for
this Flemington New Jersey Painted Lady.
Cherry wood, Leather top desk, Turned Pilasters, Panelled Walls & Cabinets
10' celings.
This Library was removed from a brownstone in NYC and
we had to retrofit it to the new library in this custom designed
home in Far Hills New Jersey.
We had to make new panels and egg & dart molding to match
the existing panels. Cedar and shellac proved to be the best match.
I built this Oak Fireplace and Bookcase Wall for a client who moved a lot.
They asked if I could make feet for the cabinet built-ins so that they could
take them with them if they moved. Sure enough, 4 months after I built the wall, they
sold the house and took the cabinets with them. The new homeowners contracted
with me to build replacements. That's what I call a "win-win"!

Tiger Maple ET center for Maine Vaction House
With flat screen TVs all the rage, I guess these ET centers will be antiques before your know it.
