Layers on layers.

Intermission on this custom office desk until the stone tops are in, but taking a moment to enjoy the shadows created by the abundance of natural light in Chicago's Jeweler's Row.

Paint color is 9109 - Natural Linen.

Wardrobe in solid red oak. Client had a Danish mid-century dresser she wanted to match but needed more storage space. To keep the lines as clean as possible we chose push-to-open for both the door hinges & drawer slides. Behind the doors are adjustable shelves with a large drawer underneath.

Loving the way the onyx door hinges complement the black shelf pins & sleeves. Toned using medium brown dye stain in Eclipse Sanding Sealer & top coated with Evo Eclipse.

When making a simple piece of furniture, it's critical to nail the details. This 100% solid hard maple side table features tapered turned legs with a matching radius on the top, scalloped sides, back, & doors, and a sleeved & pinned adjustable shelf. Our client wanted to try her hand at finishing & we are thrilled to support that, so we delivered sanded & ready for finish.

While running a small business is not without its challenges, those are typically outnumbered with rewarding experiences. And to me, nothing is more rewarding than bringing a vision to life for friends & family.

Here we took a good amount of open dining space & smothered it in warm solid walnut. We built an L-shaped banquette, tucked in a few hidden push-to-open drawers, and topped it with a solid walnut bench.

We also built this solid walnut dining table at 1-3/4" thick with solid 4x4" legs. The grain of the boards is amazing and this table should last a lifetime.

All painted surfaces are sprayed with Gallery Series (BM1609 - Temptation) & all walnut is finished with Arm-R-Seal.

While just a simple shaker-inspired end table, this is a great example of why we keep all finishing in-house. This piece needed to match existing furniture and took quite a bit of trial, error, and back/forth with the client to get it just right.

Constructed of solid red oak & using water-based stain in espresso, toned into water-based high performance polyurethane for the opaque look.

From rendering to reality, this project added much needed functionality to this kitchen & dining area while staying on-form to the existing cabinetry. The large pantry cabinet features fully adjustable shelving with drawers at the bottom, a small counter-height cabinet, and a large bench with inset drawers. Chunky quartersawn white oak floating shelves & counter to tie in the bench. Matching the cove-profile crown moulding and baseboard / toe-kick give add to the seamless & intentional look.

Thanks for trusting with this project, and best of luck on the exciting next chapter!

Floating shelf Friday! Have a small space that needs a creative storage option, but don't want freestanding or clunky mounts? The clean lines of a floating shelf may be the solution. These are made entirely of rift-sawn white oak, finished in Oyster, and mounted using Aaron's amazing .brackets that can take 110lbs per shelf.

Installation wrapped on this mudroom yesterday. The directive here was simple: give the client more functional storage space in this nook off the rear entry door.

We provided over 10ft of walnut bench space with 2 rows of shoe storage underneath. A small cabinet in the corner with adjustable shelves above the counter & behind the door, two drawers, and lots of coat hooks to top it off.

Cabinetry constructed of birch plywood with hard maple face frames. Coat rail in solid walnut. Bench & counter surfaces in walnut plywood trimmed in solid walnut. Accent pieces added to the walls in a minimal modern design to finish the space.

All walnut surfaces finished with Pure, painted surfaces are finished with in Waterloo, sprayed with .
