Picture it: you’re building your ideal custom home...

Which features do you add? Do you want a “hidden” pantry? Extra square feet? What about a closet as big as a bedroom?

For this home renovation, we were able to build a dream closet to showcase a Nike shoe collection. As you can see from the picture, it’s not just any shoe collection!

We worked closely with architect Edward Frierson and designer Betty Shaw as well as our various trade partners to build custom cabinetry and a mirrored ceiling effect so that the eye does not truly know where the collection begins/ends. A spectacular photo from Paul Bardalgy captures the magic of a custom master-peice!

What does custom mean, anyway?

Have you ever been to one of those "custom" airbrush vacation shirt kiosks? The shirts are advertised as custom but the only part you can “customize” is putting your name on the shirt. You do not get to choose the type of shirt, the color scheme, or the background image.

In contrast, we love showcasing this fireplace because it represents the exact opposite of that air-brushed t-shirt experience!

In order to complete this home renovation project, we needed to tear down the home that was already on the lot. The only issue? The home was the current homeowner’s childhood home. The solution? Use the bricks from the exterior of the home to build this fireplace!

So what does custom mean? In this case custom means no other homeowner will have this fireplace- it is truly one of a kind!
