Commissions for Large Architecture projects (home design) have not been flooding in of late, but recently I had the opportunity to design and build a Small Architecture project--i.e., custom cabinets--for a client in Okemos, MI. Pictured is one of two classically-inspired bookcases flanking a set of large windows in the master bedroom. I also did a similarly styled bank of bathroom vanities at the same time.
The illustration may not show enough detail, but take may word for it: I used some nice carved parts from Enkeboll, along with special-order moldings from a local supplier, to good effect to create a rich and stately impression--a warm brown-red stain on the cherry solids and veneers contributing to the overall impression. It's a beautiful thing--and provides a good amount of storage/display space for books and small art objects.
The built-ins were made to harmonize with furnishings the homeowners already had, and went along with a upgrade of interior wood trim.
