Custom Entryway Cabinet

This was a custom entryway cabinet commissioned by a client in Toronto. My client previously used a makeshift clothes cabinet at the entryway to the home made of plywood. They liked the way it was used but the appearance had to align with the rest of the house. Everything about this piece was custom, including the finish which was applied by hand.

Before. Client had makeshift plywood coat cabinet in the entryway to the home. 

Detail of usage, which they liked. 

Piano on the other side of the cabinet.

Cabinet assembled before finishing. Will have to be taken apart again for finishing.

Finishing in progress. It was very important for this large cabinet to be able to come apart easily so as to be able to get it in the client's house.

Third Floor Renovation - Part Two

View of dormer and custom desk, study area and closet. Most elements have come together in this photo such as the installation of the maple hardwood floor and painting of newly repaired walls and baseboards. We restored the original baseboards after adding electrical outlet access points into them. We still need to install the ceiling lighting fixture but that will happen after the Electrical Safety Authority inspection.

Closet.
View of the study area desk equipped with LED lighting. Designing this cabinetry was challenging because of the angled ceiling of the dormer but we came up with the right solution.
Work in progress but its coming together. Lights have been hooked up, doors installed, needs cabinet hardware.

Lower cabinets and closet installed. Design of shelf, lighting and additional storage to follow.
At the top of the stairway we repaired the original Newel post, replaced the spindles and handrail.
