Beaded Door TV Stand

I made this entertainment center for a client who wanted all the components out of sight.  In her living room she has a little wall-mount cabinet with framed beadboard doors, and she wanted to keep that look consistent.  With a microscopic sensor that remains hidden from view, she is able to work her stereo, TV, etc. via remote control without opening the doors.  It's an ideal way to rid a living room of electronic eye sores.

Sea Glass Vanity


I built this vanity for a beach house in Scarborough.  The clients gave me a picture of a hutch that they wanted the vanity to mimic.  It was just like converting an antique cabinet base into a sink base, only they selected exactly what they wanted, and we executed it from scratch.  In the end I think it worked quite nicely.

The Marsh Bed

This bed toured scenic Maine before reaching its ultimate destination.  Along the way it came to be called the "marsh bed."  A client nostalgic for coastal getaways as a kid remembered sleeping in a cozy twin with a beaded head board.  I recreated that memory in a traditional platform bed with an understated cottagey feel.  Unfortunately nobody was able to enjoy a snooze in it beside Portland Head Light, but it could certainly make a return trip.

Farmhouse Vanity

I did this piece for a family that converted a mud room into a half bath.  They were expecting a fourth child, and their modest farmhouse was feeling smaller by the trimester.  There wasn't much room to work with, but they wanted a vanity that blended in with the existing beadboard walls.  It looks like it's always been there, which was the primary objective.
