New Construction – Shelby, NC
Glass and wood are two materials that complement each other well, as evident in this stunning project featuring quarter-sawn white oak and glass-front cabinet doors. Everything in this space says ‘welcome’ with the natural light and harmonizing color palette, which works seamlessly with the rest of the design.

An open kitchen design is always perfect for family gatherings, especially since it allows everyone to stay connected throughout the home. The soft contrast of white uppers and quarter-sawn white oak creates the warm environment that makes conversation flow.
Kitchen Island

Bathrooms
Master Bathroom
Build Method: Frameless Cabinets by Cabico

- Rustic Alder – Finish – Columbia
This master bathroom is a place of relaxation with a large tub and walk-in shower. The tile work and dark wood make a great combination that looks amazing. A walk-in closet is another great feature designed for homeowners that will keep everything organized for both of them. They also chose to maximize their space by having a tall built-in made where they could not just place their TV but also use it for additional storage.
Powder Bath
Build Method: Inset Cabinets by Walker Woodworking
Wood Species & Finishes:
- Painted Maple
- Reclaimed barn wood from the owner
Bathrooms are an important part of the home and reflect the unique style of this home. The spotlight belongs to the powder bathroom since it features a custom-built vanity with drawers made from old reclaimed barn wood from the owner’s grandfather. This makes it special not only in looks but also in memories.
