Behind the scenes in the workshop today! ✨

We’ve been hard at work getting these custom wooden posts ready, and we are completely obsessed with how this rich, deep red finish is turning out.

Getting a smooth, flawless finish on custom woodwork takes patience, precision, and the right technique—from the initial prep and priming down to the final coats of paint. These architectural details are going to add so much character and a bold, statement-making pop to the final project.

Whether they're destined for a stunning staircase remodel or bespoke interior framing, craftsmanship like this is all in the details.

Precision craftsmanship in the workshop today! 🪵✨
Take a closer look at these custom panels. You might notice that the top two panels feature a carefully handcrafted angled scribe.

Why do we do this? It's all in the details!

That specific angle ensures they fit seamlessly when opening and closing, preventing them from catching or binding on adjacent surfaces.

It’s these small, thoughtful design choices that make all the difference for a flawless, smooth-operating finish.

The Ultimate Kitchen Clutter Solution: The Appliance Garage

Are your kitchen counters cluttered with toasters, coffee makers, and blenders? Do you dream of a sleek, minimalist kitchen but need your appliances close at hand?

Enter the modern appliance garage. This clever kitchen feature is no longer just for hiding away your mixer. Today's appliance garages are designed to be highly functional hubs that elevate the heart of your home.

Here’s why a custom appliance garage is a game-changer for modern kitchens:

Instant Clutter Clearing: Simply slide the doors open, use your appliance, and slide them shut. Your counters are instantly clear, creating a tidy and serene space.

Design Flexibility: Forget bulky, standard cabinets. Modern appliance garages are fully customisable to match your existing kitchen cabinetry, as shown in these photos from our workshop. Whether you prefer classic Shaker-style doors or sleek, flat panels, we can create a seamless look.

Integrated Power: We can build electrical outlets directly inside the garage. This means your appliances can stay plugged in and ready to use. No more unplugging and dragging heavy items out from a deep cupboard.

Dedicated Function Zones: Use your appliance garage to create specific stations. A "Breakfast Station" can house your coffee maker, grinder, and mugs. A "Baking Station" can keep your stand mixer and ingredients organised.

Ergonomic Design: By placing the appliance garage at counter level, you avoid the awkward bending and reaching often required to access appliances stored in lower base cabinets.

See it in Production: These images show a recent custom appliance garage project taking shape in our workshop. Notice the dark wood interior, which adds a touch of luxury, and the crisp, light grey shaker doors that will match the client's kitchen. Built on temporary stands for construction, this piece is ready to be installed and completely transform the kitchen's functionality.

Boring kitchens are officially a thing of the past! 🌸✨
Check out these stunning pink-framed units fresh out of the workshop and getting ready for an install in a period property right here in York.

There is a common myth that historic homes must be kept strictly neutral, but bold colors are a permanent movement—not just a fleeting fad.

When you combine bespoke, high-end joinery with rich timber internals and fearless color, the result doesn't fight the architecture; it completely elevates it

After all, historical properties were often full of rich, confident pigments to begin with. It's all about designing a space that brings personality and joy into everyday life.

What do you think of this setup?
Would you be brave enough to go pink in your own kitchen? 👇

Bold Kitchens in Period Properties: More Than Just a FadThe striking pink-framed cabinetry shown in production is a brilliant example of how interior design is breaking away from the safe, neutral palettes of the past decade. Far from being a fleeting trend, the embrace of vibrant, saturated colors in heritage homes has firmly established itself as a permanent design movement. Why Vibrant Cabinetry is Here to StayThe Shift from Neutral Fatigue: After years of ubiquitous grey and beige, homeowners are craving personality, emotion, and joy in their living spaces, making bold pops of color a deliberate antidote to bland minimalism. Juxtaposition with Heritage: Pairing high-energy hues like pink with the rich timber internals and the historic architecture of a York period property creates an intentional, high-fashion contrast that bridges centuries. Custom Craftsmanship: Bespoke-built units indicate a move toward deeply personal, investment-grade interiors rather than mass-produced trends that date quickly. Dopamine Decor: Designing for emotional well-being through uplifting, unexpected color choices has become a guiding philosophy for modern homeowners."A period property doesn't have to mean living in a museum; injecting modern, punchy color breathes new life into historic walls." Are you planning to pair these pink frames with a specific countertop material to balance the look?
