Three things that I enjoy the most (besides my family) are creative people who think outside the box, a good campfire in the fall, and people who can find humor in most any situation (after all, they say humor is the best medicine, right?).

Ever since I was little, I’ve loved working with my hands, and have a knack for it. Over the years, I’ve continued to find enjoyment in creating through the various trades of carpentry, plumbing, heating, electric, and creative custom woodworking. I have spent the last few years focused on kitchen remodeling and custom home projects. I have a combined experience of 20 years in the trades business.

I wanted to wish you all a happy new year from my family to yours! I’ve been absent for a long time around these parts, mostly because I’ve been struggling pretty hard as “family” has taken on a different meaning and has changed recently.

This past year or so has been the most difficult year of my life filled with so much pain, turmoil and heartache. Add in the holidays and its felt brutal at times. Instagram has always been a lot of fun for me to share my day today as I mostly work alone, to interact with all of you and to make new friends. I mainly use it as a way to share what I’m working on…mostly so I can look back on days when I feel discouraged and see that yes, I am making progress. It’s also been a great place where I’ve met some really good people and have met some of my closest friends.

Yes it has its downfalls where people look like they have their 💩 together and everything looks picture perfect and sometimes it doesn’t feel appropriate to share your personal life with what is portrayed on IG. But for me they crossover so much.

It’s been through the relationships that I’ve made through IG that have been some of my greatest sources of strength this past year with really good friends and people around me. And I would be remiss to discount these people whom I’ve been able to lean on this past year. Frankly I’m not sure I would have made it otherwise. So while some people may scoff at the idea of IG I’ve been fortunate to find good people whom I consider good friends. And for that I’m incredibly thankful.

My goal what to have this kitchen complete by Christmas…while it’s not 100% finished, it is a full functioning kitchen and all the cabinetry work is complete. I’ll have a few days of trim work, more painting and some odds and ends to wrap up after the new year. This part of the kitchen, the coffee bar/pantry area might be my favorite. What do you think??

Before every project we start off with a rendering of the space and what it will look like….and from their on to completion is the focus on delivering and making that vision come to reality.

(Side note; thanks to for helping us with all the vision and design on the front end to make this kitchen a reality)

Swipe —> to see how far we’ve come since we first began. We’ve made a lot of progress! New flooring starts tomorrow and by next week we should be getting a lot of the molding, tile work and appliances in. Can’t wait!

Closing in on the finish line with this custom bar built-in. This has been filled with so many details, but I’m enjoying all of it. Because all the details add up to a great finished wet bar. Next Monday the countertops arrive and more fun details get to be added. Can’t wait to show you!

- First time using molding and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Knee deep in this big kitchen remodel. (Swipe to see what we started with) The initial planning started early this year and with all of the supply chain issues it pushed this back until now. I’ve been looking forward to working on this kitchen for awhile and I’m excited that the time is finally here! I’m working again with with the kitchen design. We’ve knocked out this wall to expand the kitchen which means running new wiring everywhere as well as moving mechanicals. By next week I’ll be ready for drywall patching/finishing then onto setting cabinets. 🕺🏼

I’ve haven’t posted any updates in awhile….and I realize I never posted the finished shots of this built-in from last month. Pretty big change for this room right??!!

These past number of weeks I have spent a lot of office time trying to play catch up with my schedule being jacked up and all over the place as timelines with projects have been pushed every which way. Lead times (ever changing) have been my biggest nemesis, which is status quo with everyone. For example, cabinetry is now almost 25 weeks out in some cases. Pre-covid it was closer to 6 weeks max. Multiply this issue in all aspects and industries and it’s become a nightmare at times. If I haven’t gotten back to you and you’ve been reaching out, a I sincerely apologize. I’ve been doing my best…which most days doesn’t seem like enough. 🤦‍♂️😩. But the good feeling of seeing a project completed and a space changed for the better makes up for it.

All but wrapped up with this built-in. Waiting on the doors to be finished and I’ll return to install the inset doors. Can’t wait to see it all finished. 🕺🏼

I always use for all my builtins and renderings. It helps me show clients what their space will look like using scale. Also helps those who have a hard time picturing what their piece will look like. 🕺🏼 Oh and happy Independence Day! My favorite time of year!! 🇺🇸 💥🇺🇸

**SWIPE THE AFTER ** I started working on this home last summer. It’s an old home built in the mid 1800’s and was in really bad shape. We remodeled most of the 1st floor (I even had fun working with who did all the electrical work) which included this fireplace. A number of projects later and the owners wanted to spruce up the fireplace area with a functional built in and mantle. I think it wraps up the area really well. 🕺🏼

Got to work on my coping skills...as I worked with a few rooms installing crown molding today. 🕺🏼🕺🏼
