Behind The Scenes

On A Photo Shoot

Last week, I went out on a photo shoot at a beautiful home in Walnut Cove, near Asheville, NC. We got so carried away with snapping pictures in the kitchen that I forgot to get a few with my iPhone, which I really like to do. I just can’t explain how much fun taking pictures can be when the lighting is just right. It saves us so much time during the processing phase because, after all, we are just amateurs.

Here is a close-up of the desk we did at Walker Woodworking. Yes, this finish is very detailed and requires precise attention to get it just right, but overall, it adds character to the desk.

This area was small and difficult to photograph. I was able to get a close-up with my iPhone – this antiqued glass is fantastic. It has gold and burnt orange coloring that looks great with the black cabinets.

Here’s a sneak peek of the kitchen – we will have these photos added to our website very soon.  You will be able to view the entire project and all the unique details our custom cabinetry has to offer.

It’s always a treat for us to get out of the office and see the final product of our cabinets in the setting of a beautifully furnished home.  We get to actually enjoy time with the homeowner in their environment, rather than in our office, always working and discussing details.

There are numerous moving parts involved in a kitchen renovation, making it easy to overlook areas where design mistakes can occur. To help, we’ve compiled ten mistakes to avoid.

Shelves are a functional part of the design in any space. They provide additional storage in areas that may have been limited, such as the kitchen sink, tight corners, and even a hallway

Wood is kinda our thing; after all, we have been working with it for twenty years, but while it has been mainly cabinets, we are excited to see an increased interest in wood countertops. More and more homeowners are looking to select sustainable materials in their design, and wood countertops are one way to do that.

The kitchen backsplash may seem like a small thing, but it brings a wide variety of benefits, making it a valuable design element. When walking through a model home or flipping through an interior design magazine, the kitchen’s backsplash always catches our eye.

Walker Woodworking, we know that the decision to paint cabinets or other wood furniture is a personal one. Still, our team of local cabinet makers near Charlotte, North Carolina, wants to address whether there are times when painting may not be advisable.
