Before and after shots of an exterior siding project. The siding is Ipe. Each board was straight lined on a jig, edge planed and sanded. The siding is fixed on vertical Ipe bearers, giving a floating look. Architectural screws high light the quality and detail in this job.



Before, during and after photos of a stairwell at the aspen Lakes house. Doug fir box wrapped steel beams and solid 12"x4" doug fir treads.

I do make traditional cabinets and vanities as well. Here are some oak vanities from a house on Stella lane, Snowmass. This was a full remodel of the lower part of the house, with an add on bedroom out back and brand new bathrooms. I did everything (with help) including design work, demo, foundations, framing, finishing and cabinetry.

This is a wine cellar I built at a house up at Aspen Lakes. Built the whole thing, from framing the arched ceiling and walls, to making and installing the redwood cabinetry. Some one else did the glass doors and stone floor.





Here's the same a/v cabinet two weeks later after some alterations. The laminate finish has been changed from zebrawood to ebony and the t.v lowered by a few inches. Come on, this is in Aspen!






Here is an a/v cabinet and t.v surround I made recently . The cabinet is 1 1/2" mdf construction with black high gloss automotive finish. The doors have a real zebrawood laminate finish.








Same goes for the t.v surround. MDF with black automotive finish and zebrawood trim. The finish came out exceptionally well, like a piano finish.

Closets in blue/white laminate

With new door pulls


These are the closets that continue the colour theme in the kids room. The finish for the robe boxes and drawer boxes is a polished white marker board laminate by formica. This has a very tough surface and is easily wiped clean. The doors are atlantis blue laminate by wilson art, again very tough and hard to mark.


In between the two robes is the splash of colour in the form of cantilevered shelves. The finish on the shelves is a high gloss automotive paint in chartreuse. I had these sprayed at a auto finishers shop to achieve the same high quality finish you'd see on a new car.
The drawers are all dovetailed solid birch and run on Blumotion runners with limed ebonized oak drawer fonts. The door and drawer pulls haven't been chosen yet.
