getting a "work out" at the studio...

OK...this week has been exhausting...and it is only Wednesday night...The cycle is for weeks I plan, have meetings with clients, and complete drawings and layouts.....THEN...I have to complete the projects.  So this week I have been trying to finish pre-Christmas projects... This week I have been leading cabinet inserts for a major player in the kitchen market...."cementing."  OK anyone who has cemented a project realizes the physical work that this is...polishing..brushing..polishing...  My arms are aching...but they are complete and they look beautiful...that old world pewter on the metal work that only polishing brings out...Beautiful!  

Tomorrow it all starts again with a meeting first thing with clients for the next project...6 door lites ..and then I need to start the layout for the Ottawa project... "Bejeweled transoms...AWESOME!" 

So besides being a little tired...its all pretty good!
..... I need to thank Andrea for all her help in the studio!

WOW..IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS AT THE STUDIO....

Exciting projects coming down for the New Year....first is an Oakville site with some classic and elegant door lites..then it is off the Ottawa.. for multiple door lites and several transoms....Nice order..this build looks beautiful from the plans...and best off all they have challenged me to come up with something "Old World" "Elegant" and "Unique"......my favorite words...what more could I ask for...Kinda feels like an early Christmas gift.

This weekend Andrea and I will be working hard on kitchen panels that have to be completed by the end of next week....Hopefully we will get the bulk of this project completed Sunday... I think there are 16 panels in total...

My showroom is starting to take shape...and I have to concentrate on completing the panels for Victoria Strong's New Showroom...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

There are pictures from a job in Woodbridge Ontario earlier this year....Very Cool....Very different!

Its all about the Glass...

Yeah.. the column door lites are done and delivered and the new doors are being hung in the client's home today...I hope they love them as much as I do...They were a lot of work but are amazing!

This week Andrea built the little door lite for a Toronto site..."Rennie inspired"....Colors of choice were Earthy Greens, Pale Golds, and Clear GNA for the background.  This baby is small but still makes a statement.  I completed the mock up for this detail months ago so it is good to see it complete.  Size is 6 3/4" x 11"

 

This week is booked solid..last night I work late and was back this morning at 6am....  I thought I was going to slow the schedule down a bit before Christmas....no luck...just too much too do...This week 3 kitchens have to be complete and artwork for numerous jobs....  Exciting is the new job going to Ottawa..6 door lites and a few stained glass transoms...."Bejeweled" -my favorite- I am resting my brain so that I be inspired for my design day tomorrow.  Have a great one!
