Custom Cabinets, Shelves, Cases and Other Wooden Creations

Welcome to my site of custom-built wood creations. I will build items like this for you. This diverse collection includes cases, shelves, cabinets, stands, frames, doors and even beds. And they are all being used. None of these creations has been posed in a designer home; they are either shown installed or before being handed over to a family member. Some of those in use are dusty and a few even have cobwebs -- and you'll see how they look in a home with down-to-earth people responding to their own practical needs.

While living in the Netherlands, we discovered the tiny beds used in former fishing villages, and brought the idea home. The floor of the bed is flat and solid, and below is an area for storage.

The bed was incredibly comfortable with a futon, and quite private; lights were under the shelf behind the window.

The window is a small glass one brought back from materials removed from a building under reconstruction in Amsterdam. It is hinged.

At first the head of the bed was to watch the open door, but soon (after a few bangs on the angled ceiling) it was swapped to the other side.

Some projects are not documented well; only two pictures exist of the construction. This is a photo of the framing going up.

In this photo, Dennis is about to give himself some more light to finish the interior.

Here is the shelf at the back, with equestrian medals on the wall and books on the shelf.
