Bath vanity

This pair of nightstands, dresser, and bathroom vanity all look great in a new master suite. The matching walnut wood, modern lines, splayed legs, and chrome art deco hardware work well with the silver fabric-covered headboard and blue walls. In this case, the client found a furniture elsewhere online and wanted a whole suite of furniture custom made to fit this room. The effect is a serene and luxurious escape. There is also a matching wooden panel on the jacuzzi tub (not pictured) on the wall opposite the double vessel vanity with storage tower. The glass tile work  was beautiful throughout the bathroom and into the large shower. Additionally, there was a dressing vanity built for this bedroom set, designed after the below photo that the client provided.

Bookcase Built-Ins

Jaime's-basement-wall

printer-cabinet

These cabinets were designed for a large room that has zones that serve as media room and office spaces. The built-in printer cabinet and entertainment center would provide plenty of elegant storage space for favorite books and photographs while giving the room a unified look. It can sport straight lines or be more formal, with fluted columns and arched tops. The same classic style also works well as a desk, as seen in the drawing below. Pullouts, doors, and drawers can be tailored to the use: file folders for a desk, glass doors for components- the options are endless.

Drawing for Bedroom Built-In

BedroomDrawing

Excerpt from the bid:

The wall farthest from the door would become floor to ceiling storage. The bed could go on either of the longer walls. There will be twelve large drawers below (each about 2’ wide and 1’ tall), and seven doors above, concealing adjustable shelves. Drawers and doors would feature a decorative molding. The drawer slides would be full-extension stainless steel ball-bearing slides. The unit would be 22” deep (open to the logs in the back) with a 3” return on the right hand side to allow space for the baseboard heater and the curtain rod above. The base would have decorative feet in front of a recessed toe kick. Between the drawers and door there will be a wide detailed molding, and at the top of the piece there will be a large soffit and a country-style crown molding. The woodwork could be stained to the color of your choice- (the homeowner had mentioned Rosewood), and clear-coated with catalytic lacquer in your choice of sheen. The job would take about a month to complete. Our terms are 10% to hold your spot, 40% to build, and 50% upon installation. There is no sale tax on this piece because it is built-in.
