We traveled to West Springfield, MA this past weekend to exhibit our work at the Old House Live Show. Thank you to everyone who came out to meet with us and discuss their kitchen plans.
I had a chance to speak with several influential folks in our industry. Anne Thibeau, president of
Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co., stopped in to chat about our milk paint finishes. I also had a chance to meet Kevin Ireton, former editor of
Fine Homebuilding magazine, who is also a skilled carpenter and owner of an historic home.
Our next show event will be the Historic Home Show in Valley Forge in February. Our sample kitchen can be seen by appointment at our work shop in Malvern, PA.
We have recently partnered with an excellent online resource for owners or enthusiasts of old homes. OldHouseOnline.com features articles about structures of all periods and styles. Their product directories will be a valuable source for anyone embarking on an old house project or for those that want to make their new(er) house look old.
We recently had an opportunity to build this pantry cabinet. There was an existing walk-through to the back door of the home. The floor plan was changed slightly and this pantry cabinet was recessed into the opening. The homeowner requested that we build in a transom in the back of the cabinet to let additional natural light into the kitchen. The result was the look of an antique cabinet but the function of a spacious pantry.
