BUILT- INS & BOOKCASES


Page 1 of 2... Click HERE for 2nd page

On these pages we would like to highlight a few of the built-ins and bookcases we have done over the years. I just wish I had taken more pictures, as there have been a whole lot of them that I would like to be able to show off.

Built-ins can be utilized in almost every single room in your home. I think that probably there have only been two rooms that we haven't installed built-ins in... the foyer and the kitchen. The most common room would have to be the family room, then the home office, followed by the dining room and lastly play rooms, mud room, laundry rooms and recreation rooms. Built-In cabinetry can be fabricated in so many design styles, with so many different architectural features, wood species and finishes, they can be made to fit beautifully in any room in your home.

Although I would like nothing better than to build fancy cherry or mahogany built-ins with design features that include, fluted pilasters, arched valances and crown build-ups, most clients opt to go for the basic paint grade built-in units with straight valances and plain stiles. We find that most people want a set of built-ins to be both functional and affordable.
