whats under your bar ?

Fantastic Design Work and superb attention to detail. The one with the corner column is a work of art.
GREAT Project

-- Bill -Ad Marketing Guy Ramsey NJ

thanks ad guy . i cant take credit for the columns though the original builder put them in i just built every thing else around them

chairs in the second picture—oh yah..

only thing that i have to compare this with is a TV stand we made and have now moved to the kitchen. We took out the table and chairs and put the new “island” in.

Three great jobs. I vote for number two. Love the tile job. I love those chairs/stools!

This is one of the few times my boss lets me install anything at work. If you look to the right, you’ll see the bar.

-- Thuan

thanks top . i think ive had a couple of those saturday nights myself !

thuan you did a nice install ! is that your show room ? nice looking bar as well

MRTRIM
Yeah, this is our showroom. I found the best way to design a kitchen is to know what the guys in the field has to go through, so I learned to install cabinets, granite. Installing one kitchen is easy, doing it day in and out- quickly is what separates the mens from the boys. So I’ll stick to the design part and play with wood working as a hobby.

-- Thuan

you learn fast thaun ! lol i like design work better also but i have to do both

can’t see the island that is also the breakfast bar in this photo, but this is a kitchen I did and installed, in a house I trimmed two years ago. I also build a wine cellar, and dozen more buildins for this house. some elements of the kitchen was bought at a salvage store the rest I had to repair or build to match.

nice looking job joey . is that a pss thru into a dining room or something thats over the sink ? great work

it is a pass thru that goes under the back steps and then their is a little wet bar for wine also in that found space in the hall. it’s kind of deep but it passes thru to the dinning room.

-- Joey ~~ Sabina, Ohio http://sleepydogwoodworking.wordpress.com/

sounds cool . nice overall layout also . i think i remember reading your profile on l j . how long have you been in the trim and cabinet business ?

Ahh, your work is sweet, MrTrim. Nice jobs. Almost makes me want to turn pro… NOT!

The kitchen is the last room in the house to get the refurb. I have to finish the foyer, library and replace the last four interior doors before that happens. I’ve got a couple of designs for the kitchen which turn the galley with a peninsula into an L shaped with a freestanding bar/prep cabinet. I’ve also included coffering for that area as well as the breakfast nook and foyer. But I won’t let mama loose with a sledge hammer just yet—I’ve insisted on having ALL of the new appliances purchased and the cabinetry complete before ANY demolition begins.

Never seen such a woman with a sledge… plumb scary!

always,

thanks j c . id say if you dont need to eat or pay bills it would be a great idea to go pro ! lol i agree on haveing the appliances first . i do a lot of ent. centers and i insist they have the componants before i start

Going on 27 years now, off and on. more on than off..lol Had a cabinet shop and ran inside trim business for about quite a few years then just wanted to down size work with my son nows hes traveling the country sowing his wild oats. so nows its just me, myself, and my little four legged shop foremen.
