This custom kitchen was designed with a touch of Tuscany. The oversized fireplace is the niche for the commercial range which has custom cabinets to hold all that goes with cooking at the range, including custom spice racks nested into the sides. The range is framed within posts and corbels that support an arched beam that supports a plastered range hood cover. The kitchen works around two large cherry islands that have a natural antique toned finish, that compliments the glazed painted finish on the wall cabinets. The islands have storage such as large drawers by the range, pullouts for trays and a convenient and decorative place to display cook books, between the turned island legs. The counters are granite, and the secondary 700 series subzero refrigerator (right of range) disappears behind the cabinet doors. A few words about Custom Kitchens… The kitchen, …. The 'Heart' of the Home. The past two and a half decades have brought dynamic and exciting concepts to the kitchen. The kitchen is no longer hidden in the back of the house…….. the kitchen is now enjoyed and appreciated as the 'Command Center' of every aspect of each day. Out of all the rooms in the home, 'Everyone' likes, and wants to be included in designing the kitchen. In todays hectic pace, the kitchen is the place your family meets together, shares with friends, entertains, and organizes the house hold and daily schedules. The kitchen truly can be a showcase of your life style. There are no limits to the design, materials or mulifunctions you may want in your custom kitchen..

Welcome to my Site . . .
I'm a skilled Craftsman, Designer, Artist, who specializes in fine cabinetry, furniture and Artwork. I seek individuality in design for my customers.
Since 1970, I’ve designed & built custom cabinets, furniture in PA, NJ, and NY.
Each project is designed for you, using my many years of experience. I can also work with your architect, designer or builder, using your designs.
My projects range from ‘Classic Traditional’ to ‘Contemporary’ in design, including ‘Crafts Style’, with its artistic exposed joinery. As you will see in my online portfolio.
I use a wide range of quality and interesting materials. From unique solid woods in the form of flitches, (natural edge boards that can be 36’’ wide, 14 ft long and 3’’ thick) to specific highly selected exotic veneers and grain patterns.
Over forty years of experience has tempered and honed my skills…. along with the ability to understand the needs of my clients and communicate my ideas.
My projects have been published in, House Beautiful Sept 1986, House Beautiful Home Remodeling and Renovations, Spring 1988, Better Homes and Gardens, Better by Design, April 1999. And most recently Fine Woodworking.
I'd like to mention my invention and subsequent US patent award, for the “EuroButt II System Hinge”. Which allows the cabinetmakers that use or want to use the concealed hinge the option to give the traditional design element of the traditional ball tip hinge barrel to the European concealed hinge.

For chest/consoleThe cabinet fits just perfect. All your little "cut out" details make a huge difference. Everything is so neat and tidy, no plugs or cables showing. We bolted it to the wall right away. It's really great looking, a naturally beautiful & unique piece we will always enjoy. It's so sturdy too. Keep up the good and creative work. I have other "hard to fit" areas in this house. Thanks for creating such a cool piece.
