INTEGRITY, RELIABILITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
These
functional
oak
built-in
storage
cabinets
were
built
and
installed
for
a
couple
who
lives
in
the
Queen's
Village,
Philadelphia
area.
The
Center
City
couple
had
a
storage
problem
on
their
first
floor
and
they
wanted
to
resolve
it,
but
did
not
want
the
look
of
a
basic
storage
closet
in
their
kitchen
and
dining
area.
They
came
up
with
an
idea
and
a
drawing
of
a
simple
but
stylish
oak
built-in
storage
cabinet
along
with
some
open
shelving,
drawers
and
lots
of
doors
to
stow
away
anything
they
would
want
out
of
sight
but
still
be
easily
accessible.
The
home
owners
designed
this
built-in
unit
themselves
and
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
incorporate
a
small
entertainment
center
which
houses
a
television, DVD player and stereo as seen here.
The
customer
requested
shelving
that
would
be
adjustable
on
3/4
inch
increments
as
space
was
tight
for
this
small
built-in
entertainment
center
and
while
keeping
in
mind
future
components.
Notice
the
small
7
inch
high
door
panels
above
the
entertainment
center
and
along
the
entire
top,
(five
in
all).
These
operating
doors
flip
up
and
hold
open
to
allow
extra
built-in
storage
for
small
things
and
while
using
all
available
space.
European
self-closing
hidden
hinges
were
used
for
this
built-in
storage
cabinet
allowing
for
its
smooth
finished
look.
The
customers
decided
they
wanted
to
keep
their
new
built-in
storage
cabinets
as
close
to
its
natural
red
oak
color
as
possible,
and
since
it
was
adjacent
to
the
kitchen
area.
I
suggested
using
clear
water
based
conversion
varnish
for
the
finish,
because
conversion
varnish
is
designed
for
areas
where
water and moisture would be present.
This
beautiful
custom
built-in
floating
vanity
is
just
what
the
customer
desired.
The
customer
contacted
me
with
her
ideas
and
drawing
and
wasn't
sure
if
she
could
find
a
bathroom
vanity
that
would
fit
in
between
her
two
bathroom
walls.
I
assured
her
that
as
a
custom
cabinet
maker
I
could
easily
fulfill
her
bathroom
vanity
wishes.
We
designed
this
beautiful
five
door
with
three
drawers
built-in
bathroom
vanity
and
with
a
conversion
varnish
over
white
that
will
tolerate
the
damp
bathroom
environment.
Needless
to
say
the
customer
was
thrilled
over
the
top
with
her new wall to wall floating bathroom vanity.
Here
is
another
fine
example
of
a
custom
built
kitchen
sink
base
cabinet.
The
customer
contact
Cabinet
Makers
Custom
Built-in
Bookcases
and
wanted
to
know
if
it
was
possible
to
make
a
one
piece
60
inch
wide
kitchen
base
cabinet
for
a
odd
area
in
her
kitchen.
She
wanted
a
one
piece
cabinet
as
shown
above
but
with
a
trashcan
pull
out
on
the
right
side.
She
also
wanted
the
cabinet
to
match
her
existing
kitchen
cabinetry
so
we
made
the
maple
kitchen
base
cabinet
doors
to
match
including
the
flush
mount
face
framing
doors
exactly.
This
cabinet
was
installed
up
against
a
wall
with
a
heater
vent
so
we
installed
an
air
duct
and
venting
underneath
the
cabinet
to
accommodate.
This
maple
tabletop
style
headboard
was
seen
in
a
magazine
by
a
Queen's
Village
Center
City
Philadelphia
customer
and
wanted
to
know
if
I
could
duplicate
it.
Since
the
magazine's
picture
showed
good
detail,
it
was
easy
to
estimate
size
and
scale.
For
instance,
there
is
a
three-
quarter
inch
countersunk
slot
which
was
approximately
3
inches
above
the
bed
surface
and
10
inches
below
the
tabletop
surface.
The
two
pull
out
shelves
on
either
side
needed
to
be
located
3
inches
away
from
the
bed
sides
in
order
for
them
to
be
functional.
The
total
height
of
the
headboard
would
be
figured
out
according
to
the
existing
bed's
heights.
By
recognizing
these
basic
facts
the
measurements came easily.
This
picture
illustrates
the
functional
18
inch
extra
deep
tabletop
headboard
that
can
be
easily
cleaned
and
serves
very
well
as
a
large
nightstand.
Notice
the
1
inch
wide
45°
bevel
edge
that
runs
continuously
around
the
top
edge
perimeter
of
this
beautifully
finished
table
top
headboard.
This
headboard
was
built
by
using
high
quality
Hard
Rock
Maple
wood
and
was
planed
and
sanded
with
extremely
fine
sandpaper
for
a
high
quality
ultra
smooth
lacquer
finish.
The
customer
was
extremely
satisfied
with
the
product
and
just
as
satisfied
in
the
timely
manner
it
was
manufactured
and
installed
as
this
headboard
was
a
welcome
home
gift
for
his
daughter
returning
from
college
on
summer
break.
Products
like
this
headboard
and
all
of
my
cabinetry
and
bookcases
can
be
easily
manufactured
in
my fully equipped cabinet making shop at your request.
This
extra
wide
maple
his
and
her's
double
bowl
bathroom
vanity
was
constructed
for
an
Queen's
Village,
Center
City
Philadelphia
customer
who
desired
more
vanity
space
for
their
newly
renovated
bathroom.
This
custom
maple
bathroom
vanity
was
designed
with
solid
wood
flat
panel
doors,
European-style
self
closing
hidden
hinges
and
adjustable
shelves
that
stores
lots
of
items
out
of
sight
but
readily
available.
The
flat
panel
vanity
doors
are
easily
opened
and
held
closed
by
magnetic
touch
latches.
The
home
owner
can
keep
the
counter
top
clean
and
easily
maintained
thanks
to
the
help
of
two
under
mount
vanity
sinks
that
are
positioned
and
attached
under
the
vanity
top, (hence the name under mount sink.)
This
elegant
and
stylish
cherry
wood
bathroom
vanity
and
the
adjoining
eight-foot
tall
side
storage
cabinet
were
two
of
the
main
pieces
for
this
high
end
Mainline
Montgomery
County
bathroom.
The
Mainline
customers
wanted
their
bathroom
cabinetry,
mirror
frame,
light
bar,
crown
moldings
and
corner
wall
shelving
to
be
made
from
high
quality
solid
cherry
wood
and
to
match
consistently
throughout
their
newly
renovated
bathroom.
The
doors
and
the
mounted
wood
scrawlings
that
helped
make
up
this
exquisite
bathroom
vanity
and
the
side
storage
cabinet
were
actually
copied
from
a
magazine
picture
that
the
customer
had
and
wanted
to
duplicate
throughout
her
new
bathroom
design.
The
cabinetry
doors
are
operated
by
European
style
self
closing
hidden
hinges
and
are
open
with
Gothic
style
antique
brass
"D"
handles.
The
bathroom
vanity
and
the
neighboring
side
storage
cabinet
are
designed
with
deep,
wide
spacious
adjustable
shelving.
As
illustrated
in
the
middle
picture
you'll
notice
the
deep
warm
4
inch
cherry
crown
molding
continuing
a-top
the
wall's
porcelain
tiles
as
it
crest
the
entire
bathroom's
ceiling
perimeter.
All
the
cherry
wood
for
this
bathroom
cabinetry
renovation
project
were
enriched
with
cherry
stain
and
finished
with
multiple
coats
of
satin
conversion
varnish
embracing
the
woods
natural
beauty
for
countless
years
to
come.
Interested
in
treating
your
hallway
with
a
new
look.
The
customer
of
this
beautiful
Center
City
Philadelphia
home
desired
real
wall
paneling.
She
wanted
the
wall
paneling
to
be
the
same
height
as
the
entry
door
and
stretching
the
full
16'
depth
of
the
hallway.
We
treated
the
paneling
with
double
raised
panels
while
keeping
4''
spacing
between.
The
paneling
was
also
treated
with
a
high
baseboard,
sectional
end
molding
and
a
spacious
top
molding.
The
top
molding
of
the
wall
paneling
was
designed
with
a
stop
notch
so
that
the
customer
could
stand
picture
frames
from.
This
beautiful
wall
paneling
was
finished
with
a
high
grade
brilliant
white
acrylic
paint
which
will
endure
rugged
use for a lifetime.
Integrity and quality control is the heart of every project!!!
This
beautiful
oversized
combination
entertainment
center
with
storage
was
the
perfect
fit
for
this
cozy
Old
City
Philadelphia
home.
The
ceiling
is
an
unusual
12-foot
in
height,
which
made
the
ample
storage
so
convenient
in
the
wall
niche
for
this
mission-style
solid
wood
cabinetry
system.
The
lower
cabinet
includes
mission-style
doors
with
self-closing
hinges
while
centered
above
self-closing
drawers
for
lots
of
storage.
A
beautiful
highly
polished
1
1/2
inch
desktop
was
included
with
wrap
around
walls
and
ceiling
making
it
a
perfect
niche
for
the
oversized
flat
screen
TV.
An
8-foot
Putnam
Rolling
Ladder
system
with
polished
nickel
rollers
and
track
was
included
to
gain
access
to
the
ample
storage
above.
The
customer
included
in
the
building
plans
a
16"
x
12'
open
face
adjustable
bookcase
shelving
unit
to
the
right
of
the
entertainment
center
for
extra
needed storage.
This
beautiful
home
entertainment
center
with
its
convenient
remote-controlled
fireplace
makes
this
impressive
Wynnewood,
Pennsylvania
condo
even
more
cozier
than
it
was
before
by
far.
The
customer
knew
exactly
how
he
wanted
the
secretary
style
cabinetry
to
be
laid
out
but
wasn't
sure
about
the
type
of
cabinetry
doors
that
would
suit
best
since
the
kitchen
cabinetry
was
next
to
the
left
wall.
I
suggested
that
he
should
not
attempt
to
match
the
kitchen
cabinetry
doors
to
the
new
entertainment
center
because
it
would
look
like
the
kitchen
would
be
extended
into
the
living
room.
I
made
a
mission-style
cabinetry
doors
sample
but
with
a
beaded
inside
molding.
The
customer
liked
the
idea,
and
we
integrated
the
new
mission-style
doors
in
the
plan
and
creating
a
sensational
one-of-a-kind
home
entertainment
center
making
the
customer completely happy.
Something
simple!!
The
customer
wanted
a
cherry
wood
pedestal
for
her
statue
that
she
just
recently
purchased.
She
wanted
an
attractive
cherry
wood
grain,
so
I
then
put
this
together
using
a
mahogany
wood
stain
and
finishing
it
with
a
multiple
clear
coat
lacquer.
It
was
exactly
what
she
wanted
to
display
her
beautiful
piece
of
art
work
for
her
contemporary living room.

Part
of
the
design
for
this
custom
built
entertainment
center
was
to
include
an
extra-long
rolling
ladder
track
so
that
the
ladder
can
be
stored
out
of
the
way
and
close
to
the
wall.
Cabinet
Makers
Custom
Built-in
Bookcases
only
uses
the
highest
quality
materials
for
every
cabinet
making
project.
Even
though
this
is
a
white
paint
grade
project,
only
solid
veneer
lumber
core
3/4
and
1/2
maple
wood
material
was
used.
Maple
wood
is
always
a
primary
choice
amongst
professional
cabinet
makers.
Maple
wood
is
highly
considered
a
truly
solid
hardwood
which
will
endure
household
or
industrial
use
over
a
lifetime,
and
this
is
why
it
is
always
the
primary
choice
for
paint
grade
projects.
Notice
the
matching
highly
polished
nickel
rolling
ladder
hardware
and
the
door
and
drawer
pulls.
The
customer
decided
to
conveniently
hide
away
all
electronic
TV
cable
boxes
and
wiring
behind
the
lower
cabinetry
doors
making
this
entertainment center clutter free.
This
contemporary
home
entertainment
center
is
equipped
with
only
the
best
cabinet
making
construction
materials.
Even
though
it's
painted
white,
all
the
materials
are
made
from
solid
lumber
core
maple
and
veneer
core
maple.
The
crown
molding
is
9
inches
wide
and
is
also
made
of
solid
maple.
Using
maple
wood
is
more
economical
for
paint
projects,
and
it
is
a
great
wood
material
for
paint
absorption
making
it
widely
used
within
professional
cabinet
makers.
Now
note
the
ample
storage
room
behind
the
mission-style
cabinetry
doors
and
bookcases
and
not
to
mention
it
also
has
a
bench
seat
with
hide
away
storage
underneath
located
on
the
far
right-hand
side
of
the
unit.
The
fireplace
hearth
and
upper
sides
and
top
are
wrapped
with
beautiful
black
on
black
granite
making
this
entertainment
center
a
warm complement to this attractive condo.
This
oak
built-in
storage
cabinet
was
built
in
seven
pieces
at
my
woodworking
shop
and
assembled
at
the
project
site.
Before
this
built-in
storage
cabinet
began
its
manufacturing
stages,
exact
measurements
were
taken
so
that
the
built-in
cabinetry
would
fit
together
perfectly
and
by
adding
a
small
amount
of
filler
pieces
on
both
sides
for
that
tight
fitting
look
the
customer
specified.
The
bottom
of
the
built-in
cabinetry
has
a
4
inch
toe-kick
setback
and
a
flat
header
molding
at
the
top
to
tie
the
built-in
cabinetry
to
the
ceiling.
This
custom
built-in
oak
storage
cabinet
also
includes
two
different
lighting
groups
on
dedicated
dimmer
switches
along
with
three
electrical
outlets
making
this
custom
built-in
storage
cabinet
satisfying
to
the
customer's
electrical needs.
As
seen
here
in
this
picture
both
under
mount
sinks
are
placed
under
the
counter
top
which
allows
excess
water
and
spills
to
be
swept
easily
into
the
sinks
with
the
side
of
the
hand.
This
extra
wide
double
bowl
vanity
came
complete
with
his
and
her's
medicine
cabinets
and
matching
light
bar,
completing
this
beautiful
vanity
outfit.
The
two
medicine
cabinets
on
either
side
contains
3/8
inch
tempered
glass
shelving
that
are
completely
adjustable.
The
mirror
in
the
middle
was
fixed
against
the
wall
and
purposely
setback
to
add
dimension
to
this
stylish
and
beautiful
vanity
outfit.
All
the
wood
making
up
this
gorgeous
bathroom
vanity,
medicine
cabinet
and
light
bar
are
made
from
high
quality
Hard
Rock
Maple
and
finished
with
conversion
varnish.
Water
based
conversion
varnish
is
a
high
quality
moisture
resistant
finish
that
is
designed
for
bathroom
and
kitchen
areas.
This
custom
built-in
entertainment
center
was
for
a
Queen's
Village,
Center
City
Philadelphia
customers
who
were
having
their
master
bed-room
completely
renovated.
The
customer
and
their
contractor
supplied
me
with
a
specific
design
and
measurements
so
that
the
built-in
cabinet
would
be
fitted
in
the
un-drywalled
2"x4"
framing
and
then
by
fitting
drywall
sheets
around
the
built-in
giving
it
that
perfect
finished
look.
The
two
shelves
are
fixed
in
place
for
this
particular
unit
as
they
are
specifically
set
apart
for
the
customers
pre-sized
entertainment
equipment
and
wiring
connections.
The
customer
request
European
self
closing
hidden
hinges
for
this
custom
built-in
entertainment
center
as
they
enhance
a
more
finished
look.
As
shown
in
the
right
hand
picture,
when
the
flush
doors
are
fully
closed,
all
wood
grains
line
up
perfectly.
The
doors
are
easily
opened
by
touch
latches
eliminating
the
use
of
door
handles.
As
shown,
this
built-in
entertainment
center
was
left
unfinished
as
their
paint
finishing
contractor
wanted
to
control
its
texture
and
finish
with
other
woodworking
materials throughout the bedroom renovation project
.
This
proud
and
stunting
fireplace
surround
with
extra
thick
mental,
and
its
towering
inlaid
upper
mission-style
panel
is
the
showcase
of
this
beautiful
Center
City
Philadelphia
condo.
Maria,
the
homeowner
supplied
me
with
a
picture
and
wanted
to
know
if
I
could
duplicate
and
make
it
work
in
her
unusually
12
feet
high
ceiling
condo
living
room.
Even
though
it
is
a
white
paint
project
we
needed
to
use
and
only
use
hard-rock
maple
because
of
its
superior
long-lasting
qualities
and
upholding
a
beautiful
and
lasting
paint
finish.
Since
the
customer
was
leaning
towards
a
mission-style
look,
I
suggested
making
a
sample
mission
style
piece
but
with
an
inner
rounded
beading.
We
proceeded
and
duplicated
her
dream
fireplace
surround
project
and
only
used
the
highest
quality
USA
and
Canadian
solid
lumber
core
maple
materials
and
created
this
magnificent
brilliant
white
fireplace
surround.
Maria,
usually
works
at
home
and
is
thrilled
over
the
top
knowing
that
she
will
enjoy
her
beautiful
fireplace
surround
and
her
forced
hot
air
pellet
stove keeping her warm during those cold winter days.
