Drawing for Custom Bloomsburg Kitchen

This redesigned Bloomsburg, PA kitchen features natural cherry cabinets with flat Shaker panel doors, and inset doors and drawers.
All of our cabinetry is constructed with solid local lumber and FSC-certified furniture grade plywood and the finest hardware,
including soft-close self-closing undermount slides.

Changes to the original layout include 3″ more of cabinet wall length in either direction and a furniture-style hutch and island that would be painted a satin distressed black. Shaker wood knobs would be a matching black. There will be seven paneled ends including three sides of the island. The reworked design has a drawer to the right side of the range, for cooking utensils or spices.The island legs would be attached to the cabinetry and the apron around the counter would be eliminated (corbels would be included if need be, to support the countertop). The hutch has furniture legs and a decorative apron as well as an upper section primed for display- with two divided light doors, a beadboard back and corbeled sides that extend to the counter. The base of the hutch houses a blind corner larder unit that utilizes the hidden space, in addition to three drawers. To the left of of the hutch is an open bookcase for cookbooks. The garbage and recycling pullout has been relocated to the right of the ovens, close to the sink and dishwasher.

In the shop: Four Post bed with Live Edge headboard

This poster bed, constructed of hand selected Pennsylvania walnut, features a live edge slab as the headboard. The rough edges have been chiseled and sanded away, but the natural contours of the tree’s exterior remain. It is truly one of a kind and celebrates the essence of the tree. The posts on this one are octagonally tapered, like a pencil. When it is finished it will have canopy rails and finials at the top. This piece was commissioned by a client in Pottsville, PA.

Modern Poster Bed

This four poster bed was made for a client’s penthouse in Manhattan. It was built for a king sized mattress and the client desired a more modern design than our traditional pencil post bed (we’ve built eight of them thus far). We found inspiration in this design, although our price was a good deal lower than the retail on the “Armande” by Interieurs (NYC).

Long Island Murphy Bed, Installed

“Attached are some photos of the bed….It looks and feels great. Thanks again–It was a PLEASURE doing business with you guys.” –J.V. Huntington, NY

In the shop: Walnut Murphy Bed

This panels on the front of this solid walnut murphy bed were designed to echo the style of a tansu cabinet in the collection if the homeowner. The bed stays securely locked in the upright position until the correct parts are flipped up (see bottom right photo), and then the pistons allow the bed to lower for use. This kind of a built-in bed is a great option for a guest bedroom that doubles as an office, studio, or playroom. It is so much nicer than a sofa bed!

In the Shop: Maple Dresser

The natural maple dresser that Adam designed for clients in NYC is ready for finishing.

Cypress Street Install

These are some shots of an installation in progress (in April), of a large built-in buffet and bookcase in a historic home in Philadelphia. The buffet (in the top two photos) which recessed into an existing alcove, had integral lighting and a Carrara marble top with an ogee profile. The large wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf (lower shots) had integral vents for the home’s ductwork, fluted columns, raised panels, and solid, beefy shelves (not shown). The units were painted in place.

Maryland Built-Ins

These two matching natural maple bookshelf built-ins are finally in place in a Maryland home. The smaller piece is ho me to the computer printer, and the larger one houses a sizable television. This project was in the design phase for a long time, since the homeowners wanted to be sure that they were getting a product that suited their needs and home perfectly. The result is a classic and clean-lined balance between modern and traditional look. Wiring is all neatly hidden and the components are tucked away behind antique wavy glass.

Ready to Go

The lacquered Maple Bookcase and Entertainment Unit built-ins are just about complete and ready to go to their new home in Maryland. The homeowners chose solid brass knobs and bin pulls in antique nickel from Lee Valley. These pieces promise to make a dramatic upgrade to the room they will grace.

Meanwhile, two built-ins are being created for a home in Philadelphia. They will be delivered next week and painted on site.

In the shop: Bookcase Built-Ins

The built-in bookcase and entertainment unit are coming along. In the top photos, you can see the drawings on the old schoolhouse chalkboard for the two cabinets this job entails. The first two versions of the design for this project can be seen here and here. In the third shot, the plywood boxes have been put together. In the last shot, Maple face frames are in the process of going on. The substantial shelves are fixed for a balanced symmetrical look as well as superior strength.
