Last week, this 10 foot long reclaimed fir daybed finished with dull waterborne lacquer was installed in a Pleasant Valley, New York residence.
At the same time, Adam put up some custom pinrails and shelving for the mudroom. These were painted in Farrow & Ball Cook’s Blue with Shaker pegs from Nice Knobs.
Amazingly lively bookmatched European Walnut drawer fronts are framed by blackened Pennsylvania Maple in this pair of new original Springhouse designed dressers. These dressers are even more stunning in person.
Three dovetailed drawers with integral handpulls on self closing soft close concealed slides. Substantial solid wood construction- no veneer here!
Dimensions 47″ w x 34 1/2″ h x 21″ d (Larger than they appear).
Here are two Black Walnut Credenzas being delivered to Manhattan today. They feature solid slab construction with veneered doors with no hardware visible on the exterior. The doors push to open. Drawers are constructed of dovetailed matching walnut.
The smaller Credenza (two doors) is for a living room and serves as a bar- see interior below.
The three door Credenza (interior pictured above) is destined for a Dining room.
Catalpa trees are native to our area, and Alderfer lumber had some gorgeous slabs available when the time came to build this dining table. The table is either 42” round or 66” long with the leaf in.
The design features curved legs on casters and a little shelf under the table top. The wood has been lightly stained, shellacked, and lacquered. This piece was commissioned by Mona Ross Berman Interiors for a Manhattan client.
Today this striking entry cabinet moved to a residence in Washington DC, a few blocks from the capitol.
When the home’s front door is opened, it is now the first thing you see! Finished in waterborne lacquer matched to Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cool Aqua the piece is topped with a dramatic sweeping pediment. The bottom has storage for shoes, and the open shelf on the right awaits a custom cushion. Hooks will hold coats, and the door is decked in decorative metal grille.
This king sized platform bed with six storage drawers turned out beautifully. The wood has been carefully antiqued and stained a dark chocolate tone. It features raised panels with beaded openings, a molding at the floor, and rounded corners with a cove detail that highlights the grain pattern in the Sassafras wood. All of the edges have been eased and softened to prevent bruised shins- some modern platform beds can be mildly dangerous with the exposed sharp corners. The client chose oil rubbed bronze 4” pulls which look perfect with the color of the bed. There are inserts for a couple of the drawers to provide smaller storage nooks in top of the deep storage spaces.
The client wrote, “Its stunning and perfect and we couldn’t be happier – beyond our expectations, truly. Thank you!!!” (E.B., Staten Island)
Campaign furniture is a type of furniture made for travel. Historically, much of it was made for military campaigns, according to Wikipedia.
The client presented this image for inspiration (right), and asked for gloss white lacquer and bright polished brass hardware (by Paxton Hardware). The entire case is constructed of solid dovetailed Maple and would be sturdy enough for travel, but very heavy.
From another happy client, “I love it!! It is perfect!!”.
Here’s a look at the design and progress of these custom stools, destined to have a home on Nantucket.
The height of the stool seat is 32”. Some shaping, sanding, toning and lacquering are yet to be completed on the mixed hardwood prototype and the Walnut set.
This beautiful table was designed and photographed by Bill Horan, built by the Springhouse Woodshop. Quite a lovely piece with the lower shelf, flared legs, and custom drawer pull (which has a kind of Asian feel or recalls a skateboard, to me at least). Dimensions are 27″ deep x 56″ wide x 17″ high.
