Trims and Millwork

In the traditional, historic homes that many of our projects are in, the trims and mill work are very important to the final product.  All of these trims are specified by size and design in the elevations we produce for the client.  These elevations ensure that everyone knows what each wall is expected to look like, and how every door, window, arch, beam and cabinet should be finished out.

At the project we're recently following, since the vintage of the home is very early 20th century, it had a considerable amount of mill work in the existing rooms.  By continuing this work into the newly designed kitchen and family room areas, these new spaces will immediately feel like they had always been there!

Let's look at some of the trim going in.

The transoms over these arches into the breakfast and family rooms add a wonderful vintage touch!

Due to foundation shifting, this door had gotten completely out of square.  By removing portions of the old trim and re-trimming the door, it now appears to be square with the room!

These boxed beams will be trimmed, and will add great character to the family room space.

Another transom over the arch opening from the main house to the kitchen.

The new view from the front room all the way through to the back of the house.  Beautiful!

This newly added pantry space is surrounded by shelves designed for cook books and favorite objects.

A small trey-inset above the new beverage area also has a beam treatment.

New back door, and new trims.

A box treatment going in above the cabinets to mount the crown moldings to.

With all the trims going in, that means that completion of the interior is close!  Wood work all over the house is being sanded and painted, and soon the appliances will be delivered.  Up and running just in time for the holidays!
