We also specialize in case work. This specific project was unusually large, incorporating a kitchen, vanities, large built-ins, headboard, and Murphy bed.
E.C. Moore of Berrien County served as the contractor and installer. Another project I am extremely proud of and enjoy sharing; please share with your friends and coworkers.

It is always an honor to build things for historic homes. A project we did this year was a new front door unit replica for a local Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style home known as the Carl Schultz house.
The kitchen pictures are from a 1930s Prairie style home in Hyde Park Illinoisdone by Bertrand Goldberg, who did Marina city towers in Chicago later in his career.
