Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Here's a remodeling project we wrapped up earlier this week.

It was an existing wine cellar and small tasting room that we were brought in to renovate. The original wine cellar consisted mostly of case storage which we rebuilt to accommodate more singular bottle storage. The original tasting room was small, dark, and very rustic with it's knotty pine walls. The clients wanted to enlarge the room, make it a more formal space, and to put in a cigar smoke ventilation system for those occasional poker games with the guys.

Here's the Before Pictures:







So here we installed Custom Sapele Panels and Cabinets, installed a custom wrought iron door to the wine cellar, rebuilt much of the wine racking and filled in the stone floors where the walls were previously.













As we were wrapping up the project, the clients realized the old dilapidated bathroom in the basement just wasn't going to do so they asked us to spruce it up a bit without spending a lot of money. We put up some beadboard on the walls, changed out the plumbing fixtures, and slapped a coat of paint on it to clean it up a bit. Now the guys have a place to go during the big card games.

The bull nose was my idea.
The rest of the house was orange peel but the bathroom had wall paper and paneling on it from the 70's.So we did the texture to get it up to date lol....

Knock off the self-denigration. What you did there is the meat & potatoes of this field. Good job!
