DIY Herringbone Wood Paneled Wall

To break out of my traditional painted graphic patterns, I decided to do something a little different in my home office. I bought pre-cut pine tongue and groove wood paneling, stained it ...»
in 3 different colors and installed it in a herringbone pattern on my wall. It was SO easy to do and makes a huge impact.

Custom Guest Cottage

has a studio apartment type layout with a sleeping/ living area and a 3/4 bath. There is an option to have a kitchenette, but this unit was built with a storage area instead. It is perfect for housing guests, an elderly parent, or grown children in need of their own space but not yet able to afford their own place.

Cleaning & Organization: Mirror on ceiling

My church has a mirror on the ceiling which has a giant Chandelier hanging down from it. Looking up it makes me dizzy so I don't want to do it from a tall ladder any suggestions on how to clean the mirror without streaking it.

    You need good old elbow grease and working up close. So if you become dizzy you need to get ...»
    someone else to do this.

    I find using a good quality glass cleaner and news paper you will end up with no streaks when done. Simply crunch up the paper in small balls and use that to wipe and clean. Change out the paper often and you should be fine.

    Also if the chandelier tends to need bulbs a lot or gets dirty as well. They make special hoists that can be mounted above the ceiling that will allow you to push a button and the fixture will lower down to the floor level where you can clean and service it without having to climb up all the time. May make the entire process safer and easier in the long run.

  • A custom fountain showcasing a 48" antique granite millstone.  The millstone weighs around 800 pounds.  The functioning water level height is normally one brick below the bluestone top.

We worked with a client to showcase a 48" granite millstone.

In the small garden behind the house, the goal was to create a water feature with the millstone as the central focus. After much brainstorming and many sketches, this is what we designed and installed. The water level was lowered for the photograph to display the detail of the brickwork and the center support column. One does not see the liner, wires, or overflow pipes as the fountain is enjoyed. Pre-planning and creative design of all aspects of a feature is what we believe sets ...»
ours apart.

We located a matching brick to the house to create the 7' x 7' basin. A bluestone cap was installed to dress up the top of the wall. This small garden space now has a beautiful water feature that sets it apart from a normal backyard area.
