American Bungalow Magazine recently highlighted a Cherry Craftsman style Crown Point kitchen in their “New and Noteworthy” section!

Located on the water in East Otis, MA, the featured kitchen is a bright, open Craftsman design with authentic details from our Arts & Crafts Designer Series.

What makes this kitchen noteworthy, is that the cabinetry is crafted from Cherry, rather than your usual Quartersawn Oak used in most Craftsman designs.  Here, the warmth of cherry creates a wonderfully warm and inviting place to cook, gather, and simply relax!

The Spring issue is on the newsstands until May, so be sure to check us out on page 45!

Custom Builder magazine has posted their article, “Connecticut Custom Home Pays Homage To An Icon Of The Arts And Crafts Movement.” Featuring a beautifully designed kitchen in Sapele Mahogany, and based on our Arts and Crafts Designer Series, this custom cabinetry was designed to reflect the distinctive Prairie style. Our in-house designer, Jim Balcom, spent many, many hours working with the client to ensure that every detail was given due attention in creating this stunning look.

The kitchen was part of a whole-house project, inspired by the Gamble House in Pasadena, California.
