Exterior Door

This is an exterior door we installed. Just your average everyday door from the local Home Depot

Cement Driveway (Broom Finish)

This is the broom finish up close of the driveway, just a basic design.
Here is a shot of the entire driveway, it had rained before we shot this photo!

Side view of the driveway!
And, another shot!

And, again!

Door Trim, Chair Rail, Baseboards

Prior to trimming this, I was unsure of how it was going to happen. Once it was complete, it turned out great!

It is a bit blurry, but this is a corner shot of baseboard meeting the trimming of the closet door!

The finished trimming on the door & a little shot of texture prep!

This is a picture of door framing & trim, chair rail & baseboard installed in the dining room!

Walk-in Closet Shelving

I should've shot pictures before the shelves were filled again, but before this (if you can imagine) there were no shelves! I cut, measured & installed them! The 3 shelves in the back, the hanging rods & shelves above, and the smaller shelving unit on the left side at the end!

Here is a close up of the hanging shelf!
And again, the smaller hanging shelf for shirts, skirts or pants!

Here is the right side hanging shelf! And the customers were WAY happy to be able to put there thing away...and that there was enough room to "hang" out!

What'd you do w/ ceiling BEAMS?!

So, the homeowner wanted me to do SOMETHING with these ugly beams that were on the ceiling of their living room...but what? We finally decided to try trimming them!

What we realized once we started was that not only was the ceiling not level, but neither were the beams...so we were going to have some issues!

But, as you can see...it turned out pretty nice! (Or at least compared to how they were originally!)

Here was the little hallway leading from the kitchen to the living room with those ugly beams again! But with the trim, it just spiced things up!

And, from the floor you couldn't even tell how uneven the ceiling & the beams actually are!

Ceiling & Wall Texture

Here is a shot of a nice smooth texture I use for ceilings! Most people prefer smoother textures vs the classic popcorn texture...again, its all up to the customer's preferences!

The ceiling texture, again...up close!
An orange peel texture I use on the walls, the runnier the mix the smaller & smoother the texture!

The mix was more dry, than runny which creates larger specs & more rough than smooth!

Bathtub Surround Tile

This is a simple tub surround tile design, yet with the accent pieces, it gives it a sense of style! The choice of shower head will also determine its completeness! The ones I installed were stainless steel

...again, simple but stylish!

Just a close up of the tile, you may not be able to tell but the outside tiles are bull-nosed so they create the sense that they run into & with the wall.

Here's the soap holder to the corner of the shower, better higher than lower(it's not a handle, rather a soap holder)...but all to the preference of the customer!

Again, just another shot of the accent tiles that complete the tub surround!!

Bathroom Floor Tile

This is small, but full bath that I tiled. I also put tile on the walls as a baseboard, turned out nice & the homeowner's liked it as well...which is ALWAYS a plus!!
Here's another view of the bathroom floor from the doorway!

And yet, again!

This was their upstairs bathroom, they just wanted a plain, easy 12 x 12 tile layout!

Kitchen Floor Tile

I did this kitchen floor with large tiles purchased & chosen by the customer! Turned out pretty good! I centered the design in the middle of the kitchen floor...gives it the look of a floor rug of some sort!
Here is the transition between the kitchen to the entrance of the laundry room!

This is a closer look at the tile in the kitchen.

The kitchen tile, again!

Fire Place Tile Surround & Floor

The homeowner's were unsure of how they wanted to modernize their fire place surround & floor...so I came up with this design!
I was a little concerned it might darken the living room, or just create a big black corner. However, the wall lights reflected off the shiny black marble & created a soft glow in the room!

The fireplace became the main attraction in the living room! A great seller!!

The homeowner's were so impressed by the way it turned out, they had me match their entryway floor with the fireplace surround!

Stamp Concrete Patios

This first picture is where the corners of the two pads meet!

The next picture is just an up-close of the stamp design & two-tone concrete!
This is a shot of the first pad where the front steps were removed, then re-installed after the concrete was poured, and cured enough to walk on!
This is a picture of the first pad as well, side shot. I designed to stamp the concrete a bit in a slant to the angle of the fronts step to give it a "kick" rather than straight on parallel!

This last picture is kinda blurry, but you can see the pile of grass that has been removed from the lawn to pour the cement pads!

Cement Patio #2

Here is the second cement patio, adjacent to the first! She has already set up her lawn furniture and after a few days it's ready to be used!

Cement Patio #1

This lady wanted two stamped concrete patios on her front lawn. Her driveway was asphalt, so here you can see where the two meet. This first patio was in front of her front steps. Up in the right hand corner of the picture, you can see the second pad. This concrete is two-toned, really nice! It is a bit shiny as well because it has just rained. It will be sealed once it has fully cured! Because this was poured in Alaska, I give it at least 3-4 weeks to cure!
