Often, we find ourselves discussing the concept of 'good bones' when it comes to evaluating a house or talking about the quality in which a new home is built.

Recently, for one of our projects, we had the opportunity to try out a new product: Rockwool Comfortbatt. Wow…what a product!

This custom built shelving unit adds shadow lines to a room.

We frequently use what we call a terminus. A terminus is defined as "A final point in space or time."

In architectural terms, this could refer to the end of a long hallway, for instance. Sometimes, a blank wall at the end of the hallway suffices.

Painted woodwork and trim have always been used in homes. Most of the time, painted woodwork is some shade of white, however, other colors come and go depending upon the current trends.

This TV is so thin it looks like a picture on the wall, not a box with an articulating wall-mount- thing-a-mu-jig.

Toto is the Cadillac of toilet features and they make one of the best flushing toilets ever seen.

Exposed beams in the ceiling can often add a nice element to a room. Often times they are structural and sometimes they are faux and for aesthetics only.

The new structure was created to replace an existing pergola which had design problems. The existing unit was built at roof eave height which was no problem in the summertime; however, during the winter, snow and ice accumulated and the build-up would push and stress the pergola.

Our clients wanted a comfortable place for their grown kids when they come home and stay for a few days. A place of their own with plenty of space and even a spot to put a few things away. All of this while not looking like a bedroom the rest of the year.

These days a more sophisticated approach is taken to a microwave. We have put them just about everywhere. For several clients, we have installed a traditional unit in the island.

A couple of years ago we started installing lighted closet poles. These poles use an LED light inside the actual rod to put light were it is actually needed.

There are two types of lighting we put into our jobs. First is the task or general lighting. The second is decorative lighting, which is the ‘fun’ stuff but also can be quite expensive. Think of decorative lights as the jewelry or bling for an attractive outfit.

Make great use of the dead corners of a kitchen cabinet lower unit with this cool product!
