Fire Pit
Custom, cast-in-place concrete countertop overhangs the base so guests can cozy up closer to the fire. Hand-formed surface gives a soft, organic feel. Stainless steel burner plate and glass. Custom control panel with remote ignition. Lighting around top of base provides gentle glow against clear-coated pine tongue & groove siding. Outlets for charging phones when evenings run late.
05
Concrete Countertop
This started out as a floor-to-ceiling cabinet, that I took apart to use the bottom section so I could hang a wall-mounted TV above. This countertop was pre-cast from a mold that perfectly fits the uneven walls. Protected with a matte food-grade clear coat.
06
Inexpensive Bathroom Vanity Refresh
Before after view of a bathroom vanity. To save money, I replaced the doors, countertop and sink rather than the entire cabinet. And to save even more money, I crafted the countertop out of a single porcelain tile that cost just $40.
07
Owner’s Private Closets
Installed partitions in three closets and locking hardware on half of each one so the owner could store their personal belongings while renters stay at their Northstar condo. Replaced glass doors with solid wood and new sliding hardware.

Drawing and Planning
Drawings can be very helpful not only to determine the look, but how the internal components will fit together. I have over 20 years of experience in technical illustration and find drawings to be essential for larger, more complex projects.
