We recently had a client that wanted to hide a keg refrigerator inside a cabinet that would match her existing cabinetry. After speaking with the client it appeared as though her budget was a bit low, so we were able to give her the look she was after without the high cost , by building the cabinet in place. Below are some before and after photos of the project as well as a link to the video of the completed project on our YouTube channel.

We recently took a typical Eichler kitchen and removed a few walls and all of the old cabinets and Installed new Vertical Grain Walnut Cabinets for a truly contemporary look. Touch latches, custom pull-outs, Dovetailed Maple drawer boxes, soft close drawer slides, Waterfall counter-top and a new dining table built on to the Island in the old Eichler tradition. Below are a few Before and after pictures and below that is a link to our full video walk through of the completed project on our YouTube channel.

Our client in Mountain View had a fireplace insert that needed a little help. The addition of the Granite helped quite a bit, but it still needed a little pop, so he asked us to build a Cherry Fireplace Mantle to surround the Granite and cover-up all of the drywall. The Pictures below show the mantle when completed and the Video allows you to walk around the unit and see the details.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, Patrick

Our client has had this table in his family for years.

We Just finished installing another bookcase / wall-unit in Mountain View this week. Painted to match the clients color preference. This project enabled the client to make good use of a very large wall to enhance the overall look and feel of the room. With pull-out storage for CD's and DVD's , Pull-out shelves for the components, built-in lighting, and a new look for the old red brick fireplace.

Hi Gang, 

We just got pictures and video of a home office project that we completed earlier this year. The office is made with rift white oak with a light stain on most of it and dark stained white oak on the wood top and the square dark inlays on the doors.

The dark square inlay on the 2nd from the left door actually houses the lens of the projector that shines onto the big screen TV across the room. 

 

The Floating Vanities on this 

project are Made of Cherry 

with sequenced grain on the doors and our standard Solid Maple dovetailed drawers on full extension soft close drawer slides.

On the smaller vanity below you will note that we made the drawers in a U shape to go around the plumbing.

For more pictures of the bathroom vanities as well as the new Laundry room cabinets click here .

By choosing a vessel sink and making the drawers wrap around the plumbing it allows the client to make better use of the space below the sink.

Below is a shot of the laundry room cabinets that we installed for the same client. The client wanted a Gloss White exterior and wanted to incorporate a wine fridge as well as a shampoo sink. For more pictures of the Bathrooms or Laundry room you can click here.

That's all for now, our newest newsletter is now going to be web based. The new format will actually appear as another page on our website. It should be ready for release in a few weeks, check back for updates , I should have it completed soon. Have a great week, Patrick

We just completed this cherry bookcase project for a client in Los Altos. It has a cherry exterior and a pre-finished maple interior with our standard solid maple dovetailed drawers on hidden soft-close slides and open bookcases above. The base depth was limited to 19" by the window sill, so we increased the depth at the desk to 24"d. I just added a video walk through to our YouTube channel with our clients referral at the end of the video. Check it out :-)

I just uploaded pictures and video of a Quarter Sawn Horizontal Grain Cabinetry project 

that we recently completed in Menlo Park. The project consisted of a Custom Kitchen, 

wet bar, laundry room, hall linen and floating vanity with bamboo vessel sink. 

We are very happy with the finished product and had alot of fun with the details on this project.

----------------------------------

A few of the details are the Claro Walnut Accent strip added to the edge of the crown molding

as well as the light rail, Custom hand made pull-out  wine rack, Grain matching horizontally that wraps around

onto the finished ends and continues around the finished inside corners.
