Downtown Decatur
Craftsman Bungalow Period Bathroom Renovation
We were originally hired to restore this bathroom to its period appropriate
look & feel. At some point, the owners had a penchant for Tuscany
and the tile that hailed from Italy and used it liberally in this
old house bathroom. While the tile is very expensive and elaborate
with its high relief pattern, it is not appropriate for a 1920s bathroom.
So, we will be gutting the space, installing a custom storage cabinet
tucked behind the tub for towels and toiletries, building and installing
a furniture design vanity with a black granite top and undermount
sink, and installing hex tile with a border, complete with subway
tile in the shower and wood beaded board. An antique medicine cabinet
built into the wall will complete the look of a gorgeous bungalow
bathroom.
As the homeowners were prepared to transition from Guatamala to Decatur,
the tenants turned off the heat right before a big freeze. The pipes
burst in the attic and flooded the house with 2 inches of standing
water. We will also be gutting several rooms and installing insulation,
sheetrock, new reproduction trim, paint, and then sanding all of their
antique oak floors (which cupped from the water).
We will also be removing windows and installing French doors to the
screened in porch. |

Fireplace Restoration
Project in Ormewood Park
We have been hired by this homeowner to gut and remove his fireplace.
The mantel and tile have been modernized in a slip-shod fashion
and is now neither decorative nor functional. We will demo all the
components and in its stead install antique colorful mosiac fireplace
tile, an antique cast iron fireplace screen, and a restored farmhouse
style antique mantel. The result will be a focal point and a piece
of art in his living room, infusing the space with some "wow"
factor.

Decatur Laundry and Half Bath
We are in the process of converting this once porch, then storage
room into a roomy laundry room and half bath. The 6" thick
concrete slab floor has required a lot of patient and grueling labor,
but the finshed product - a large, bright laundry room and half
bath with solid wood walls and travertine floors - will be well
worth it.

Grant
Park Kitchen
We recently transformed this previous particle-board cabinet and
linoleum-floored kitchen into a modern classic. The custom cabinetry
is flush inset, shaker style and extends to the ceiling. The new
layout makes the kitchen much large and more inviting, and the ample
seating opportunities only add to this effect. Two large pantry
cabinets, a built-in window seat, a hidden TV cabinet, and a magentic
chalkboard are a few of the features we incorporated.

Lake
Claire Sun Room Conversion, Wide Plank Oak Floors, Bookshelves and
Custom Furniture
In this conversion of a screened-in porch to a sun room, we incorporated
classic wainscoting, wide historic molding, divided light windows,
wide plank oak flooring, and a custom stained glass window. We added
insulation, electrical outlets, siding, and additional framing to
complete the less glamorous elements of the space.
Elsewhere in the home, we provided custom woodworking. In the living
room, we designed and installed a large painted bookcase with flush
inset doors and soft close drawers for loads of storage. In the
dining room, we worked with the clients to design a custom burled-wood
American walnut dry bar with curved doors and a top inlaid with
a bird's eye maple border.

Facelift
and Paint Job in Ormewood Park
This gorgeous Craftsman bungalow is filled with original details
that were not being showcased. After replacing rooted clapbords,
windows, window sills and trim, we painted the exterior with a three
color scheme that accentuated the details. We also replaced the
front door after performing much structural repair on the entryway.
The result is a much more sound and beautiful home.

East
Atlanta Custom Furniture
We designed and built three pieces of furniture to meet the specific
needs of this couple in East Atlanta. We crafted two gorgeous walnut
tables for the living room with birds eye maple inlays and interesting
joinery. The slats under the table add visual interest and additional
storage.
The cherry dry bar in the dining room was sized to fit the wall
and provide the couple additional storage for wine, spirits, and
dining room accessories. All the pieces are solid wood construction
with high end hardward and will be future heirlooms.

Cosmetic Rehab in Lakewood
This home was in process of renovation but has sat empty for a
period of time. The homeowner hired us to spruce it up for resale.
We painted the entire interior, finishing the custom maple cabinets
in the kitchen including crown molding and shelving. We also installed
a window in the kitchen, along with a kitchen sink and faucet.

Inman
Park Revamp
We completed a major restoration on this beautiful Inman Park Craftsman
bungalow. We demolished the back of the house (where the framing
rested precariously on the decking) and then rebuilt. This included
adding ample structural supports underneath the house and new foundation
walls, new siding and windows, and a new roof line. When the heavy
lifting was complete, we installed a gorgeous new custom kitchen
and master bathroom. The kitchen features stone and heart of pine
counters, refurbished antique cabinets mixed with custom new ones,
and a subway tiled backsplash. The new master bathroom is a luxurious
marble retreat with a steam shower, huge dual vanity, separate water
closet, and tucked away laundry closet.

for children complete with hidden storage, custom trim, an entertainment
center with storage, and a wrapping table for wrapping gifts.

Oakhurst
Custom Bookcases and Coffered Ceilings Installation
We designed and installed pine Craftsman style bookcases with doors
and up lighting to span two walls of this large office. We also
installed coffered ceilings and match all of this new woodwork to
the patinaed heart of pine trim and floors existing in this Oakhurst
1920s bungalow.

Fireplace Antique Tile Install and Restoration
in West End
We have been hired to refinish and stain the salvaged walnut mantel.
The clients have also hired us to provide antique fireplace tile
to install a new hearth, complete with cast iron surround, new brick,
rebuilt fireplace pad, and run a gas line to the fireplace.

New
View of Nature
We were hired to remake the views on this ranch house in Decatur.
We removed the original brick and installed large windows and French
doors to bring the outside in. We cleaned the original brick and
re-installed it around the new windows for a seamless effect. For
Phase II, we are demolishing the concrete catwalk and stairs, and
building a larger catwalk and sundeck. This will be made out of
cumuru - a wood that looks like mahogany, is much denser than pressure
treated, and is harvested in an environmetally friendly way. Cumuru
has a fire rating of steel, is insect resistant, and actually sinks
in water.

Tiki
Hut
We were very excited to take on the challenge of building an exotic
tiki hut. We first had to find the bamboo structural components
(large poles) and aesthetic components (bamboo slats). The purpose
of this hut was to hide and protect the pool equipment for this
clients pool. At the same time, we wanted to build a bar area
where sun worshippers could eat and sip on frozen drinks. The hipped
roof is clad in a rolled roofing, as well as a decorative thatch.
The tiki hut is a green project as both thatch and bamboo are renewable
resources (essentially grasses). We finished the hut with a honey
toned stain on the underside of the framed roof and the bar area.
The whimsical footrest is also made from bamboo poles.
