Blank walls often waste valuable square footage. Many homes lack storage, even with large rooms. The issue is poor wall planning. Empty vertical areas hold untapped potential. Homeowners can transform unused wall space into functional storage with custom-built-ins. In many places, open floor plans are common.

At Walker Woodworking, we’re always thrilled to see our custom cabinetry shine in beautifully designed spaces — especially when paired with visionary designers and thoughtful construction teams. One standout example is the Reeded Cabinetry in Style project, a kitchen that seamlessly blends texture, warmth, and timeless design.

Color is a powerful design tool because it can control the atmosphere of the room. From soothing grays and blues to striking blacks and reds, color can make a space calm or energizing.

A popular combination is natural wood because it adds a touch of warmth and beautiful contrast, like brass hardware, just as it did for this client’s kitchen.

We love old homes, the history they hold, and the unique beauty each possesses. Preserving these dwellings is something we enjoy being part of because it gives us a chance to protect the past while making a few modifications that make it more convenient for today’s owners. There are many factors to consider for such a special project.

What is it about reclaimed wood that makes it so popular? Is it the fact that it possesses a character all its own, or maybe it’s because of the history it holds inside? Whatever the reason, reclaimed wood is trending as a material choice across multiple areas of the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices.

The Twin Chimney Farms renovation project. Travis and I were honored that the homeowners, Jack and Carole Arey, trusted Walker Woodworking and us to be a part of this 18-month-long project. These final results of his circa 1817 farmhouse rehabilitation project are truly amazing!

A nearly 200-year-old farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated—updated with modern comforts and technology, yet still rich in historic charm. Thanks to the vision and dedication of homeowners Jason and Erin Metcalf, this remarkable renovation brings together timeless character and handcrafted American quality.

How do we undertake a historical renovation and update while staying true to the roots?We are a family-run business, which means history matters, especially its preservation. Our beginning started with a fallen oak tree that Travis Walker’s grandfather had planted.
