I designed this collection for a small are of a family room just off the kitchen. The cooks desk was custom made for the customer along with the 2 little mantel shelves. The tall cabinet has a pantry in the bottom behind the pocket doors. The center section is the breakfast bar. It has a toaster and coffee maker behind pocket doors (shown open) with accessories on a U shelf. The wine rack above is cute.


Maple with a white conversion varnish finish was used for this one. The drawers under the hearth are functional for media storage.

This one is also in walnut with very clean lines. Simple but very elegant.

This mantel was designed primarily by the homeowner and I built it exactly the way she wanted it. It was done in maple with a stain and clear coat. The appliques and corbels are Enkeboll.

This mantel system is done in africun mahogany with figured maple accents. The curved metal portion was fabricated first by Robert Savilla Nadon and I built what you see around it. It is quite long, 16" deep on the near end and only 4" deep on the far end. The gentle curve is quite striking.
