Mud Room Cabinets for a Historical House

Mud room cabinets for a historic house in Traverse City, Michigan.  The pair of painted cabinets flank a new door and sidelights that I designed for the project.  The renovation included an entirely new back porch entrance and mud room.

Details for the cabinets were developed from existing woodwork in the house.

Ekocite Architecture of Royal Oak MI developed the plan and exterior details based on the existing structure.  The door, sidelights, and the cabinets were developed from the beautiful existing moulding details in this important Victorian house. Built-in 1900 for the founder of one Traverse Citys first banks, the house took seven (7) years to complete.

Chair Model No. DRB15

Chair Model No.DRB15 in Cherry, Wenge & Stainless Steel

Chair Model No. DRB 15

Chair Model No. DRB 15  is composed of American Cherry solids with African Wenge back splat and polished  Stainless Steel banding. The hand-tied traditional sprung seat is shown in fine Cognac brown hide.  The curved cherry backrest was glued up to the required thickness and band-sawed on a taper.  The backrest blank was also positioned on a compound angle on the saw table so that no glue line was visible on the face,  disrupting the pattern of the wood grain.  The back splat is veneered in beautiful dark African Wenge and traced with a banding of polished stainless steel.  Polished stainless hex key fasteners are used as both functional and decorative elements. The tapered Cherry back legs are splayed on a compound angle to give the chair an elegant stance.
