That is a beautiful exterior entry! Great design and execution. Can anyone over there help with surfacing lumber? It sure would speed up the project. It takes a village!

I have really enjoyed reading about this project and seeing the pics -- you do some really nice work! I think it all flows together nicely. Looking forward to the next installment.

Thanks for all the kind words! My parents have been kind enough to help me go back to school (and to put up with me for almost 29 years!)... cutting wood for them is the least I could do! It has been fun though. Vinny, I was wondering how you're making out on this project, any updates?
updates: is there a pound my head against the wall emoticon? I installed some filler panels on the side and bottom of the upper cabinets and hung some floating shelves. I hate the shelves! They were about $300 a pop, and I think they are just horrible. My mother isn't thrilled with them either... we found a shelf at Ikea for $14.00 that will work better! I am taking those down and templating for the concrete countertop tomorrow. I lost the hardware for the corner cabinet and the set of drawers next to it.  I think new ones shipped out today... can't mount those door/drawer faces until hardware arrives. I only have crummy camera phone pictures to share for now. The outside of the house looks awesome too, and I can't wait for the cedar shakes to be painted. Lots of cedar trim work around the windows and fascias. I will have to get photos up soon. We are scratching the concrete on the fireplace idea and picked out some new stone today. This project... will. never. end. enjoy   backsplash tacked on the wall between shelves. I photochopped the window painted black, I don't think we are keeping them wood color anymore.  Blum Intivo drawer system. I think they look really slick, will have to get a cleaner photo of them  Dining room painted  |

Thanks for the update. The Blum Intivo drawers are super cool but a little spendy. What is the floor in the living room?

Same question re the living room floor. The boxes that were clamped, just glued rabbets or other joining?

The floor is 6" Goncalo Alves (Tigerwood) It was covered meticulously and came out with only a few minimal scratches.
The boxes were glued and screwed. That photo with all the clamps was kind of a joke. It would take way too long to clamp them all up and wait for the glue to dry.

Looks good. I can really appreciate trying to do a lot of shop grade work without a shop!
I do all kine concrete if you have anything you need to talk through.

My mother spent most of her collegiate career in Crown Hall so as you can imagine, she is fond of them as well. (as morbid as this may sound, I called dibs the day they were delivered to the house!) The chairs along with the Barcelona table were acquired in a trade for architectural serviced with a client that worked for Knoll. ...I agree - nice chandelier - where is it from?
I'm not 100% sure where it was purchased, but if you google Cellula chandelier there are many options for both real and replicas pieces. It's too sparkly for my taste, but it ain't my house. |

I appreciate the offer. I have done about 9-10 so far and the hardest part for me is getting people to help carry them into the house! My boss in college was obsessed with doing tops with no seems so we constantly had to round up 8-10 guys to carry the monsters. Never been a fan of that part. I didn't get to make the forms this weekend as I don't have a vehicle to fit 4x8 sheets of 3/4 melamine. Through a little game of "telephone" a friend of a friend picked up 2 sheets of 1/4 masonite for me on Saturday. Apparently he thought they were the same thing. |

At the risk of sounding crass or disrespectful...holy crap! That is truly great and inspirational work! I don't have the skills or the vision to be able to do that kind of work. I hope over time to fix the lack of skills problem, but the vision can't really be learned. Awesome work my man. Truly great stuff.

LOL; you need to send that into Festool as Before and After pics and what is possible with the right green tools. In exchange they should send you every NAINA product available!
That is nothing short of spectacular! I forget, did you move one of the walls to make more room for the island or are the outer dimensions the same?

Absolutely! And then you need to come to Western Kansas to break them in at my house! (Not much pay, but all the smoked pork ribs you can eat. ) |

If you look at the before photo, to the right of the refrig. there was a door to a pantry. That pantry was ripped out, so we gained another 24" to widen the space. As far as the tools, it would be cool, but I am so over this kind of work. This was intended to be my last project, my magnum opus if you will, but unfortunately I didn't gain admission to to medical school this year... my heart just isn't in the construction biz any longer. I have been turning down work lately, but I'm sure when funds get low, I will start cutting wood again. This is a great project I would love too build my own kitchen from scratch.you have done a great job, in the kitchen area why did you only plasterboard half way down the walls( sheet rock) ?
That was only a process shot. The bottom piece wasn't installed at that point because we hadn't poured the concrete floor. Once the floor was finished, the bottom layer was installed. |

Thank you for the compliment. I think that if you read enough architecture and design mags/books you will be able to do it. I don't know if I believe in innate skill, more patience and hard work, and a bit of dumb luck doesn't hurt either. I was lucky enough to have someone actually let me do it. Most of my extended family thinks the kitchen is interesting (read: Ugly!), looks unfinished because there is no molding anywhere, and that I just should have gotten it at Ikea for 1/4 of the cost. what are you gonna do...? |

Your innovation, attention to detail, and the passion for perfection in your work are some of the very same competencies required for a successful medical professional. I encourage you to keep trying if that's what you want to pursue. I think you'd make a great addition to a field that can be immensely rewarding and satisfying.
All the best!

The kitchen gets all the glory and it excellent, but I still think the entrance and the dovetail joints in the poplar beams do it for me.
BTW, did you get to do the fireplace at with the stained (?) boards?

Tim, the fireplace sits unfinished... we are back and forth on a bunch of different options as far as finishes. Originally the idea was to have a beton brut finish done with rough boards. Then it was concrete colored stucco, then stone...which kind of stone... I'm not sure it will ever be finished, or maybe Durock is an acceptable finish. I am also really happy with the face lift, just waiting for the painter to work his magic for the full effect. |

Originally the idea was to have a beton brut finish done with rough boards. Some of fondest memories are spending time studying perspective in the Robarts Library a good example of brutalist architecture if there ever was one. This was of course before the internet. While the building is quite the contrast to the mostly Victorian style row housing the area the interior is less imposing than the exterior. I'm not sure it will ever be finished, or maybe Durock is an acceptable finish.
Cool idea. I have always wondered how Durock would look with a stain. I'll have to try it sometime. Tim |
