Happy New Year from Goodwin Mill And Cabinet! We have some jobs running in the shop right now including one already loaded in the truck for delivery. And that's exciting, but I'm going to use my time with this blog to talk about a job we did early this year. I was going through my camera and I found these pics of the Colbert job and wanted to show you more of how this spectacular home and the incredible woodwork we produced for it.
The first photo is of the downstairs bathroom. This was a double vanity unit with drawer banks on either side and one in the middle. Colbert's used a dark stain and mixed it with a delicate white color contrast. It looks really good when you see them together.
This fantastic piece is the fireplace in the living room. There's a mantle and the cabinets on both sides are made for storage. The next pic is a close-up of the right hand unit and gives a better view of the cabinet.
Here you can see the shelf units that are on the top of the cabinet have doors with glass panels. The lower portion is also shelf units and will probably hold entertainment materials like dvds, blu-rays, etc. You may also notice the bench below the mantle doesn't have a top in these pics. I can't remember what material they used on that. I think they did granite or tile.
These next two pics show the vanity/drawer units in the bathrooms of the children's bedrooms. They sat back to back and are mirror images of each other. This is the bathroom with the cabinets sitting on the south wall.
These are the cabinet's sitting on the north wall. They were interesting and I loved the way the two rooms were set back to back. Very cool idea and the matching bathrooms was also inventive.
Ok, this next pic is a little tricky because I can't remember where this bench unit was in the house. We had a series of similar benches done in the laundry room. They were part of a coat rack system, but this is not part of that. If I remember correctly, I think this was downstairs somewhere.
This is the master bath. Full length units at either end, connected to vanities on both sides and in the center, you have a drawer bank shared between the two sinks. In this photo, I wanted to show you the full unit, but I couldn't fit it all in one shot.
This next pic shows you a better glimpse of the full length units. This one stands at the far left of the base unit. I didn't take too many shots of this unit just because it was hard to get an angle. As you can see, it turned out great. These cabinets will hold a lot of storage. From clothes to towels. They compensate for fewer drawer banks in this bathroom.
There are a couple more pics of bathroom cabinets I wanted to show you, but both of them are separate from the vanity bank you saw in the previous pics. The first is this small wall unit. This cabinet is located in the toilet area adjacent to the main bath. It's perfect for storing toilet paper and other odds and ends including cleaning materials, bowl sanitizers and air fresheners. I especially love the little drawers on the bottom of the unit. They are functional and pleasing to look at.
This final cabinet is located just outside the main bathroom area. There is a small hallway and this full length linen closet sits in the wall. As you can guess from the name of the cabinet, this shelf unit is used mainly for storing linens. Sheets, blankets, pillow cases... Even towels are often stored in these. It fit perfectly in the recessed space created for it and I love the way it looks right next to the bathroom.
The next set of cabinets I want to discuss are in the master bedroom and were all along the west wall. That particular wall had a fireplace and I just love the way the cabinets were designed and fit into the space.
As you can see in the first pic, the cabinets start off with a set of 2 cabinets. Both have two doors with glass panels and are shelving units. The glass makes the shelf space perfect for display.
The center portion is the fireplace area and features some creative molding work and a mantle. The photograph afterward shows the next two cabinets are exactly like the ones in the first photo.
Here's a full shot of the entire wall so you can see how it all fit together. I also thought it was cool that the cabinets create shelf space. The mantle also has some limited shelf space available. Not much, but a little.
This is the final pic I have of these cabinets. As you can see, in this shot, I tried to get an angle pic to show how deep the mantle came out and how much shelf space was actually available. It ended up looking awesome and totally fit in with what they were trying to achieve with their cabinets in general.
We also supplied a lot of the molding and trim for this job. These posts and railings are all from the shop as well. Of course, since this time, our post guy has gone into business for himself and we buy our stuff from him.
Still, I think the posts all turned out perfectly and though we didn't install them, I really wanted to show how diverse the wood working is we were creating at the time and how talented some of our craftsman are.
The last photo I will show you today is the snack bar area downstairs. I'm not sure it's actually a snack bar, that's just what the owners referred to it as. Three shelf upper units and two shelf base units with a drawer bank in the center.
Well that's all the pics I have that turned out. There were more pics of that incredible home and when I find more, I will certainly take the time to show them to you. Colbert's are an awesome couple! They were a pleasure to work with. I was impressed with the attention to detail they both possessed. That's one of the things I like best about working at Goodwin Mill And Cabinet. It's exciting to help someone build the home they envision in their minds. It's incredibly satisfying to watch someone create something and see it brought to life by our craftsmen. Goodwin Mill And Cabinet is ready to do that for you. Call today to set up your appointment and we'll get to work for you!
It's been an exciting week at Goodwin Mill & Cabinet. We started on Monday in Hatch, UT working on the Sochor home in the Paunsaugunt Cliffs Subdivision. This exclusive community features homes with majestic, often sweeping views. Most of these homes are vacation properties. The community itself is adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. It's really astonishing!
This was an overnight trip and we stayed in a Motel decorated with a horse theme. Horse paintings, wall paper, etc. etc. It was called Riverside Resort and we ate at the restaurant attached to the property called the Cactus Cowboy. I'll include links at the bottom of the page.
The Sochor house itself is quite amazing. The cabinetry is simple, natural and clean. I'll post some pics. Toward the end of the second day, a storm rolled in and everything started getting dark. But inside the kitchen, with some natural light still spilling through the open windows, the space seemed bright and cheerful. The natural wood look really stood out in the gloom.
Returning from that rural part of Utah, the next day we headed to the small community of Overton, Nevada. We're doing a job there for the Anderson family. This job is particularly interesting because it's a combination job. Part of the work is installing new cabinets while the second is refacing some existing cabinetry.
The Andersons have two colors for their cabinets. One of them is the delightful cream color used on the Jones property during the Parade of Homes. Of all the current colors I've seen on cabinetry, this is by far my favorite. It's just lovely. We did as much as we could at the Andersons before heading back to St. George. At this point, to finish the job, we're waiting on the new floor to be set in place. Once the floor is in, we will build the island. I'll include some pics of the Anderson cabinets in the near future.
Thursday and Friday were spent in beautiful Cedar City at the Colbert job. This house is incredible. It's a massive home with lots of open space and windows. The use of windows is generous in order to take advantage of the view. The property is located in the Cedar Knolls area. This part of town is camouflaged from the city and sprawls up the face of a small mountain. The homes in the subdivision feature exclusive views of the city and surrounding area. It's gorgeous.
The cabinetry in the home is a juxtaposition of sorts. Some of them are practically painted white while the bathroom cabinetry is an extremely dark color. Almost black. It's an interesting blend of two extreme looks and in combination with the various paint colors, it's rather remarkable. The cabinets blend in with the rooms they're in by intensifying the wall coloring. I'll post some pics of this job soon as well.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy seeing more beautiful craftsmanship from Goodwin Mill & Cabinet.
