“Eastlake” Vanity
The client requested a Period Style "Eastlake" vanity for a white marble bathroom.
Eastlake was a purveyor of popular opinion in matters of style and taste in the early 19th Century.
His influence in regards to decorative elements elevated the cultural tastes of the time.
The antique model shown was created about 50 years after Eastlake's popularity ended.

Our team built cabinets shelving nooks decks furniture and more during this year long renovation.
Maple and Mahogany table
Curly Maple was cut down for a right of way in Oregon somewhere and transported to Texas by friends, who alerted me as to the where abouts of some fantastic boards.
Then the base was made for a photo shoot - with microchips laid out on a gambling table- for the photographer Tomas Pantin.....a "shoot" for a High Tech Magazine Cover.....
Now, after 20 years of daily work, the table has been refinished to a silky smooth touch.
