One kitchen please. Been at this one for awhile, and finally packed out and put in use. Final photos in a couple weeks, as the owner is still moving in.

From removing a wall, to kitchen soffits, full height cabinets, new tile, lighting…. All the stuff that goes into a kitchen. This was a full remodel and turned out just as planned (or hoped). Now, time for a break.

Day 3, or 4ish…. And we’re mostly done painting (and also finish out the new center light). The coffers came out amazing!, sooo amazing that I now have to refinish my cabinets. A new white ceiling turned my cabinets yellow haha. A project for another day I guess, and honestly… it’s been on the list for a long time. The coffered ceiling though… looks great!

This should close out the year! Another Pinterest project in the books. Rather simple with a few aesthetic pieces thrown in. Open cubbies, shoe kicks, coat hooks, and a Black Walnut benchtop. Something new to me was the barn door conversion. The barn door track takes up a lot of space, and an option nowadays is to convert the door to a bifold. When closed, it maintains the look of the barn door, and it gave us the room we needed to build in this hall tree unit. Came out great! On to 2026.

And thats a wrap on this 12x7 L shaped bar/hangout! We went with Rubio Monocoat Pure and Sheenplus on the Maple, and Benjamin Moore Cabinet Coat Midnight for the framing. The accents, engraving, epoxy, padauk racing stripes, and outlets put the highlights on this project. More than happy on how this project came together. Up next: Another mudroom built-in before the weather starts to turn and finish out the year.

It’s been a minute. Where have I gone?, well…. After the basement remodel, I hurt my back at the firehouse. A few weeks of PT later, I’m back to work at the firehouse. Both doing the firehouse thing, and making cool stuff. On our way to finishing a 12’ custom “bar” (less the booze) for the hero’s, the smoke eaters, and the road nurses. These are custom Maple butcher block countertops sitting on top of cabinet style framing. Just need to seal and paint.

Wrapped up and packed out! Here’s the before’s and after’s of this basement remodel. Not the easiest project. It’s always a treat to reverse engineer decades of DIY expertise, but we got it done. From a cellar to a liveable entertainment space, essentially doubling the size of the house. Enjoy!

Playroom/Guest bedroom came together beautifully just a few more finishing touches and she’s all done!

Basement update. Walls painted, flooring down. Even boxed in the windows. Really taking shape. Next up, Doors…. followed by some trim work and odds n ends. Looking real nice.

Pretty much a wrap. From a giant room, to 2 normal sized rooms… bit of a transformation. The structural piece of the original “play castle loft” was redressed to make a loft bed, so the rest of the room can still be utilized for toy storage and play area. Not too sexy, but as always, functional and nice looking.

Stay tuned for the basement update this week. Paint and floorings will start to show the finish line. Few more weeks
