Originally, there was a brick fireplace here with a gas stove insert and a brick veneer that went all the way up the wall. The customer was looking for a more modern look so we took down the veneer, patched the drywall, applied marble tile to the fireplace, and added a contemporary mantel.
We built the mantel over a plywood box that we framed around the existing fireplace. Several layers of poplar give the mantel straight, clean lines.
Lastly, we added a built-in cabinet, which we built in our shop. The cabinet has an 18" base cabinet with doors, and the upper section is an open shelf area. Both the cabinet and mantel will be painted.

Fir Ceiling
Another part of our work on the Amherst Village house. This is a fir bead board ceiling we did in the sun room area. We also trimmed out the ridge beam and hip rafters in fir.
Kitchen in Amherst Village
This is a kitchen installation we did last summer. The cabinets were made by Crown Point Cabinetry in Claremont, NH.

Amherst Village Fireplace and Paneling
We did the finish work in this house in Amherst Village. We designed the paneling on the fireplace and wainscot to match the kitchen cabinets. It is a flat panel, with a square-edge stile & rail and a 3/8" quarter-round thumbnail molding. The wainscot lines the living room and both flights of stairs (see Amherst Village Stair Case).

Whipple Free Library Story Time Nook
We designed this children's reading area, for the Whipple Free Library in New Boston, to the donors specifications, and built it in our shop.
The bends were made with 1/4" maple strip laminations, and we used a radius jig to rout the nosing. The plywood frame is stuffed with insulation to deaden any noise, and we used bound carpet cut-outs to finish the platforms.
