Shadowhill Custom Wood

Not all our work is "grand and glorious". We have a huge effect on every home we work on. This is the progress of an addition we are working on. This niche in the addition of an Oregon district historic home. We began with a wardrobe cabinet to be added with an arch entry. Upon start or work we discussed with the homeowner, the addition of a laundry chute. In addition to this, the homeowner would like us to remove all the baseboard in the upper level and replace it with something that fits the home's character and historic significance.
We are also removing a partition knee wall and going to make a railing to take its place. These photos show the beginning of the demolition, we partitioned the area to keep the dust and impact to a minimum. More in the next week as we install cabinetry and continue with our work.

Well, after three different web specialists and having to hand hold two of them and no results, the website is back up and running. The redirect for cell phones is working too! Yay.

We wrapped up our last project. The installed bookcases we crafted for our client. They reached out to us again, we worked on display cabinetry in her home and we also did work for her mother. One thing I love about our work, we would never meet such good hearted people otherwise.
This project was amazing, not just because we carefully crafted the bookcases, covering all aspects of design including matching the original work in the home, the scale and proportion of the room as well as usability and adapting to the existing mantle.
We finished off and returned the next day, surprised to find that the homeowner had not just arranged the bookcases but had also rearranged the entire living room. The effect was so startling, it was like a completely different home.

Sometimes we finish a project, it turns out fantastically well. But instead of posting it, the plan is to return when our client has decorated. But we lose that in the shuffle and do not have the time to go back for a photo shoot. This is one of those. This bookcase project really completed the room. Completely installed and built in. High quality finish, soft close hardware and dimmable led lighting. And, we strive to make our work look like the design construction and installation look as though it had been there from the start. Whether it is a new home or one built in the 1800's.
Top it off, yet another great client to work with and happy when we left.

We were contacted by our client that we crafted these bookcases for, another project for her daughter's home. This was a favorite of ours. Very simple but the style of the home, these cabinets went so well with the look of the original woodwork and really made this a comfortable space. I took this shot with lowered lighting to show the room in gentle light and one in regular lighting. Third photo is the before view.

We just completed this storage cabinetry. Even simple jobs like this take a bit of experience and patience to get it right. Changed an awkward cubby making it a useful and attractive use of space.

Looking back over our large body of work, I saw this home office that I blipped over and did not post. Even though it is a huge statement and impact for this room, it is still quite simple and well proportioned. It turned out very well. I might have missed it because I didn't take a lot of photos of it. Shout out to the assist from an old friend, Matt Mcgill, who I was able to get some help with the install.
