We appreciate all of our clients, and a special thanks goes out to those who are able to share their beautiful homes and cabinetry with us. Our photo crew ventures out regularly to bring back stunning images for use in our website, blog, advertisements, brochures and more.
Here’s a behind the scenes look at what happens on a Crown Point photo shoot. Enjoy!
Our Product Developer, Fred Puksta, has designed a new door style: Empire. In his own words, here’s how the design came about and what makes it special.
“The asymmetric steps of the door profile were first inspired by the cantilevered and cascading terraces of Frank Lloyd Wright for use in our newly introduced Prairie Line,” said Fred. “But it soon became apparent that when painted white, the door is reminiscent of the metropolitan terraces of a New York City high rise apartment building.”
“The door profile has a unique versatility to transcend different styles. As always, what I call ‘furniture jewelry’ (the hardware) along with finish, can really establish a style. In this photo the hardware sets the style squarely in the sophisticated era of Art Deco often equated with New York City and the ‘Empire’ state.”

Our exhibit show season is just around the corner!
