One of the many benefits of having an item of furniture Custom Made is the wonderful array of fine details in the design that can make that piece of furniture essentially yours. Whether it is the addition of dovetails, a shadow line, a rebate in the table top, the inclusion of these fine details enhance the classic design that you have chosen. Creating an individual style customised for your home décor and lifestyle.
The kitchen, arguably the most hardworking, central point of the home deserves to be treated to some special attention now and again.
An update, extra storage, new modifications inject new life into a kitchen, evolving with the family needs
Using recycled hoop pine ( from a dismantled 1800's home in inner city Brisbane) this kitchen was restored, to include an impressive butlers pantry, extra bench space and more storage and a new design in keeping with this traditional Queenslanders charm and character.
Remaining faithful to the 1960/s a client requested we design and make a Lounge Suite that lends itself to the clean simple lines of this era .
Using Tasmanian Oak, the 3 Seater and 2 Chairs, came together beautifully using modern fabric to enhance the wonderful design. The lounge suite is a timeless classic.
