Design 

We can help you every step of the way through the design process. From the initial idea to the final conception, whether it be traditional, modern or somewhere in between. A simple sketch can speak a thousand words. Magazine photos are another great way to communicate your vision. These photos don't have to be an exact representation of the project. They can be several photos of very different projects of which you like certain design features from each. Try to have general ideas ready to discuss. Such as:

Think about all the items you would like to store or showcase in your new piece.  Remember this is true custom woodwork; almost anything is possible. Knowing the sizes of these showcase items help with the design proportions and aesthetics. Some of the best ideas come from unique items which are difficult to place.

• Books, Pictures, Art, Sculptures
• Audio/Video equipment, remote automation
• File folder cabinets, pull-out printer trays
• Clothing, Shoes, School bags, Toys
• Crafts- fold out work tables & organizers
• Secret compartments

The possibilities are endless. Have fun and create a wish list...
