Then the doors go on.

Every project has a turning point where it starts to really come together.

Weeks of planning, drawings, colors and a hundred little decisions — then suddenly it starts looking like the room everyone had been picturing.

This is that moment.

And yes… I wrote the song. 😆
AI sang it. The projects and footage are all real.

The best picture from this kitchen is one I never took.

A while after we finished, I stopped back at this New Prague kitchen. Her grandkids were all over, gathered around the island while she taught them how to make pancakes.

We had spent a lot of time working through the layout, storage, and the little details around how she actually uses the kitchen. Seeing everybody gathered around enjoying it was better than any finished picture I could have taken.

This kitchen has a lot of personality because it was designed around hers.

Turns out the best part of a kitchen usually isn’t the cabinets.

How do you make NEW belong in a 120-year-old home?

Here’s how this Belle Plaine project went from inspiration, to design, to build, to finished installation.

Old houses have character—and curves. This floor was out more than 1" from end to end, the existing doorway was leaning nearly 1/2", and some hard-to-replace original mouldings needed to be preserved.

Everything had to transition seamlessly through that opening while still looking intentional once it was installed.

A lot of that comes down to planning the mouldings, reveals, and transitions so the imperfections disappear into the finished room.

✨ Project details:
• Material: Quartersawn white oak
• Finish: Yorkshire stain
• Cabinet Style: Inset cabinetry with 1 1/2" thick solid wood tops
• Hardware: Soft-close hardware
• Storage: Adjustable shelving behind doors
• Historic Integration: Custom crown and base matched to the existing historic profile, built wall-to-wall around an existing doorway, and original mouldings preserved where it met up with new cabinetry.

📐 Save this one if you like the idea of making something new feel like it’s always belonged there.

You shouldn’t have to imagine it.

Custom work comes with a lot of decisions before anything is built.

The more of those decisions we can work through beforehand, the fewer surprises there are later.

Useless fact below ⬇️

On a bright, sunny day, the top of the Eiffel Tower can lean up to seven inches from the heat.

Seven inches out—and it remains an engineering marvel.

One cabinet door an eighth inch out—and we might as well pack it up and close our doors.

💄 13 minutes a day at a makeup vanity adds up fast.

Over a year, that’s nearly 80 hours—roughly enough time to drive across the country and back.

That’s why this one was built at a comfortable seated height, with open knee space and everyday storage within reach.

Small daily routines add up. Your space should work around them.

13 minutes—enough? Or are you making another lap? 😄

One room. Five jobs.

Laundry, a sink, seating, shoe storage, and closed storage all had to fit—without making the room feel crowded.

Cabinetry above the raised washer and dryer, drawers below, a built-in bench, open shoe cubbies, and a compact sink cabinet put nearly every inch to work.

17 Seconds Back to the Future

A quick look back at one of our older projects—African mahogany, clean lines, and a mid-century style that still manages to feel current.

P.S. In a mid-century kitchen built around 1960, a drawer used just four times a day would be nearing its 100,000th use today.

Back in Black ⚡️… but the biggest change isn’t the color.

With the walk-in pantry removed and the wall opened up, there was room for a large island with seating on two sides—and a much stronger connection to the rest of the home.

What was once a familiar golden-toned kitchen is now finished in rich black, balanced by light countertops and warm oak accents.

A few notable details:

• Large island with seating on two sides and plenty of storage
• Tall pantry cabinets and a countertop storage tower
• Black farmhouse sink
• Custom range hood with an oak accent

I didn’t catch this one before demolition began, but the early construction photos still show the scale of the layout change.
