POETS LANE REMODEL; KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE

FROST HILL BAMBOO; ELIOT, MAINE

WHEN A CUSTOMER ASKS IF YOU WOULD TAKE ON THE DAUNTING TASK OF A TOTAL REMODEL ON THEIR OWN FAMILY FARMHOUSE, OF COURSE YOU SAY YES!

THIS PROJECT TOOK MANY BLIND TURNS AS WE ENCOUNTERED THE UNEXPECTED (OR TO BE EXPECTED IN A BUILDING OF THIS AGE WITH NUMBEROUS ADDITIONS OVER A CENTURY PLUS). BUT IN TH END WITH THE HELP OF SO MANY SUBCONTRACTORS AND TRADES WE FINISHED ON A HIGH NOTE. EVERYTHING IN THIS ENVELOPE IS CUSTOM. FROM THE RECLAIMED FLOOR BOARDS (BURN MARKS AND ALL) WHICH WERE TRANSFORMED INTO THE CURVED STOVE HOOD AND PRIMARY VANITY, TO THE CEILING HEIGHT IN THE GREAT ROOM, WHITE OAK FLOORS, CUSTOM BUILT DOORS, ETC. THIS WAS A PROJECT TO REMEMBER.

SHEPARDS WAY; YORK HARBOR, MAINE

THIS PROJECT, AND IT’S BROAD SCOPE WAS BUILT FOR A LARGE GENERAL CONTRACTOR WHOM WE USED TO WORK WITH OFTEN, AND THE HOME HAPPENED TO BE FOR A FORMER NEIGHBOR OF MINE.

FROM THE SPACIOUS KITCHEN LAYOUT, INCLUDING A VERY LARGE MAPLE TOPPED ISLAND WITH SEATING, TO THE GLASS UPPER DIVIDING WALL THAT SEPERATES IT FROM THE LIVING ROOM. THE LARGE PANTRY, FANTASTIC MUDROOM, VANITIES FOR THE FOUR BATHS, TWO VERY LARGE ENTERTAINMENT BUILT-INS, CUSTOM MIRROR FRAMES AND TO TOP IT OFF… A LARGE SPALTED MAPLE DINING TABLE WITH BANQUETTE SEATING IN THE ALCOVE.

IT WAS DEFINITELY ONE TO WRITE HOME ABOUT!

OAK STREET FARMHOUSE; DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE

THIS COMPLETE KITCHEN REMODEL ON THE COAST OF KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE WAS A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION. SHAKER STYLE CABINETS, WITH INSET DOORS/DRAWERS, SOFT CLOSE HARDWARE ALL AROUND AND MANY ORGANIZATIONAL FEATURES ARE JUST THE START. IN THE CENTER IS A TEN FOOT BLACK WALNUT ISLAND, SURROUNDED BY FANTASY BROWN GRANITE COUNTERS AND FULL HEIGHT BACKSPLASH. WITH MANY CURVES THROUGHOUT INCLUDING THE CUSTOM 40 INCH STOVE HOOD, TO THE BACKSPLASH ACCENT PIECES.

THE EXISTING RED OAK FLOORS WERE SANDED AND THE COLOR LIGHTENED, WHICH LEADS YOUR EYE INTO THE TRANSFORMED PANTRY WITH EXCEPTIONAL STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES.

ACCENT LIGHTING ABOUNDS; FROM UNDERCABINET LIGHTING, TO UPPER CABINETS WITH WATERGLASS PANELS.

THIS PROJECT WAS PART OF A NEW BUILD IN THE TOWN OF ELIOT, MAINE. IN ADDITION TO MULTIPLE BATHROOM VANITIES, BAR/SOCIAL ROOM AND CUSTOM STAIRCASE, THIS KITCHEN WAS A TRUE ORIGINAL.

COMPRISED OF FLAT FRONT, SLAB CARAMELIZED BAMBOO WITH GRAIN MATCHED DOORS AND DRAWER FRONTS FROM FLOOR TO UPPERS. THE ISLAND IS LARGER THAN LIFE AND REQUIRED WHAT WE REFER TO AS A “SUPER SLAB”! FULL HEIGHT BACKSPLASH TIES THE COUNTERTOPS TO THE UPPER CABINETS NICELY.

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE CUSTOM CROWN MOLDING, MATCHING BAMBOO OUTLET COVERS, DOUBLE TRASH/RECYCLING PULLOUTS, ACCENT UP AND UNDER CABINET LIGHTING, AND MUCH MORE!

MUCH MORE TO COME!

STAY TUNED…

ALGONQUIN DRIVE; FREEPORT, MAINE

HERE WE HAVE YET ANOTHER BAMBOO KITCHEN. IN THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION BUILD THE FORM OF THE KITCHEN TOOK ON A MORE STREAMLINED DESIGN TO MARRY UP WITH THE OVERALL AESTHETIC OF THE HOME.

INTEGRATING SIMPLE YET FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS INTO THIS MORE MODERN STYLE, BUT KEEPING IT WARM WITH THE CARAMELIZED COLOR TONES OF THE BAMBOO MATERIAL AND DEEP DETAIL OF THE GRANITE COUNTERTOP. ALSO IN THE PACKAGE ARE THREE VANITIES IN THE SAME MODERN STYLING.

THE CHERRY ON THE CAKE WITH THIS PROJECT WAS THAT BOTH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THE ARCHITECT ARE MY OWN BROTHERS! AND OF COURSE THE HOMEOWNER IS ALSO FAMILY, MY MOTHER!!! WHICH MADE THIS PROJECT EXTRA SPECIAL.
