Describe your project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.

Contemporary Meets Rustic – This homeowner wasn’t content with your run of the mill floating shelves, they had to be solid Walnut Slabs – live edge of course! Down-lit recessed led lighting was dadoed into the bottom of the slabs while we very carefully drilled the back to accommodate support bars for installation. A beautifully simple, contemporary display space at asymmetrical sides of their fireplace is pulled together with a custom walnut box beam. Reeded glass at the media cabinet added an additional bit of interest to this beautiful area.
