Media Room Renovation with Custom Wood & Concrete Wet Bar

This room in the basement of this lake house needed a drastic facelift. The drop ceiling was removed, can lighting installed and everything above was painted black. This 12’ double sliding door made by Paradigm offered a beautiful view of the lake and lets in ample light during the day. After the walls were painted and the new floors installed then came the fun part. I built this custom wet bar that included custom cabinets made by my brother, Dullen Woodworking. I used two inch pipe for all the brackets and the foot rest on the front of the bar. The countertop for the bar itself is custom poured concrete. The additional seating along the wall came from a live-edge slab of spalted maple. There was a little bit of the slab left over so I was able to make matching end tables for the sofa.

Herringbone Carrara Marble Fireplace with Rough Timber Mantle

This fireplace renovation made a huge impact on the feel of this living room. The designer gave me a picture from Pinterest and purchased the tile and I took it form there. The Carrara has such a beautiful look with the white grout and the rough-sawn timber gives it just the right amount of rustic charm.

Guest Bathroom Renovation

This bathroom needed an upgrade form the basic builder grade fixtures that were there when the house was built. Demo included removing the existing tub/shower surround, tile floor and vanity. After some minor drywall repair the new tub went in along with the backer board on the floor and shower walls. I intentionally the tile on the back wall before installing the niche. This allowed me to set the height of the niche to line up with the tile. The vanity and mirror were from Potterybarn and in the end everything came together great.
