"Avon Calling" - Alder Corner Cabinet, Media Center
Imagine two brothers, 8 and 10 years of age, both are high energy, competitive. They love sports, snow-boarding in the winter, lacrosse in the spring, baseball in the summer and soccer in the fall. Their parents own a condo in Avon and wanted to provide the boys with a place to set up their traveling video gaming and DVD collection in their small bedroom. The only usable space was a corner off to the dead side of their bedroom door. The interior designer came to us with a specific style of furniture that she had already ordered. However, she needed a custom corner unit to meet the brothers' needs and fit in that corner. She brought us photos, measurements and a plan view of the room. We designed this piece to accommodate their needs perfectly. Her client loved the solution we presented. It is stained, glazed and finished with low VOC colorants and catalyzed lacquer. It is kid proof….if anything is kid proof! The corner unit is sturdy with adjustable shelves above and below, with wire and heat management and access built in. We built and finished it to exactly match the existing pieces using applied moldings and textured flat panel doors with raised pins on the door joints. This piece was built before flat screen TV's and monitors had taken over the market. It was built with a TV/ monitor pull out in the upper cabinet and had a keypad pull out in the lower cabinet. Remarkably versatile, this kind of design could bring to life a dead use corner in any room.

For Mook Jong AKA Wooden Man4.3Josh of A and E Fine Woodworking is a master at what he does. While this project suffered a few setbacks in regards to time since he has never made one before the result is more than worth the money I sunk into into it. I could not be more happy with the results and I am more than eager to learn how to properly use the Jong as soon as I can. It is so large, strong and well built I shall be passing it on to my grandchildren.

For Butter Churn Paddle5.0Joshua and his team at A&E are fantastic people to work with: friendly, engaging and professional, they were excited about my (admittedly smallish) project and treated me like I was their number one customer. Not only did they create an amazing replica paddle for my antique butter churn, they were able to advise me in which wood would be best for the application and kept mindful that this needed to be a food-safe end product. They were communicative during the entire process, even sending photos along the way. When I received my paddle, I was surprised to find that they'd sent two! Now I can go on churning butter forever! The quality of work was amazing and the turnaround was great. I'll definitely be going back to A&E for my next project. Thanks Guys!
