We are happy to share with you our latest remodeling project in Princeton NJ.

This was a traditional home remodeling project, so in keeping with that, the white painted custom cabinetry is complemented with gray stone and dark stained island.

The pendant lights above the island create interesting focal points while the finish works well with the perimeter.

And look at all of this storage! Beautiful and functional has been achieved in this kitchen.

Last month Superior Woodcraft started a new custom-cabinetry installation in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

We love being back on the island again and working on this latest project with White Hart Interiors and Development.

This project featured custom-made built-ins in two separate bedrooms. While one built-in is painted and the other is walnut, they both are beautiful designs that are packed with utility.

The clean design keeps the bedroom neat while the owners have easy access to their wardrobe and belongings. What a wonderful space to wake up to each morning!

It is always a pleasure to work with White Hart, and we look forward to our next project.

All I Want for Christmas is My Own Custom-made Closet

This custom-made closet in Cranberry, NJ is every woman’s dream.

The room – and this is truly a room – has so many special touches, including an antique mercury beveled mirror, silver leaf on the applied molding on the doors, and fabric on many of the other doors.

There is ample storage space as well as space to dress and do make-up, with a make-up desk with a window view allowing lots of natural light.

The colors and finishes elevate this fabulously functional space into a cozy, warm retreat.

Custom Cabinets –

Last week we took you on a tour of a new kitchen being completed by Superior Woodcraft in Devon, Pennsylvania. The kitchen featured beautiful white cabinets, a large gray island, quartzite counter tops, and a stunning media center with a custom stained cherry top.

Today we show you how the kitchen appliances added to the design of the kitchen. All appliances are by Thermador.

Notice the refrigerator with a custom wood panel, and how the long appliance pulls are for more than just function.

A Cook’s Dream

This professional series Thermador range is a home cook’s dream. We love the pilasters that flank the range, and love even more that they serve a purpose. Hidden behind this beautiful architectural detail you will find 2 pull-out spice racks. What a convenient use of space.

Thank you for touring this custom kitchen with us. Next up we will travel to Nantucket for a breathtaking remodel that you won’t want to miss.

Superior Woodcraft is just completing the final fit of this bespoke kitchen in Devon, Pennsylvania.

These custom-made inset frame cabinets are painted a beautiful shade of white called Baby Fawn, and feature a quartzite counter top and back-splash.

Look closely at the pilaster next to the oven – there is a surprise hiding there! Pull out spice racks flank the stove for easy access while cooking.

The large island features the same quartzite counter tops, however the cabinets are painted a beautiful shade of gray called Stormy Monday.

Finally, at one end of the kitchen is a custom media unit that matches the perimeter cabinets, but is topped with a custom stained cherry counter top.

Join us for part 2 of this exquisite custom kitchen remodel where we will showcase the appliances.

Superior Woodcraft’s Photos From the Field are from a local Doylestown, Bucks County, PA custom kitchen remodeling project. The custom-made inset frame cabinetry is painted a beautiful blue-gray color. However, the kitchen island is what really takes center stage in this Superior Woodcraft custom kitchen.

Superior Woodcraft’s custom kitchen island is painted to match the perimeter of the kitchen and incorporates a custom oiled walnut counter top into the design.

The beautiful walnut island counter top is warm and pleasing

Custom-made walnut covers were made for the kitchen island top. The larger custom walnut cover was designed to cover the sink. The smaller custom walnut cover was made to cover a trash chute.

Photos From the Field – Kitchen

Welcome back to our older home in Cranberry, New Jersey. We hope that you enjoyed exploring the modern day closets in this older home. If you are just joining us we are visiting a work site that is an older home being updated for modern living.

Just as our bathrooms and closets have changed over the past century, so have our kitchens. In the past kitchens were relegated to the back of the home. The convenience of modern day appliances didn’t exist, you shopped daily for fresh foods, had a very different diet and as we learned in the last post, 43% of our income was spent on food.

Today, we spend about 13% of our income on food and have access to foods from around the world. Modern refrigeration and cooking appliances have changed the way we live. It has changed our kitchens as well.

Think about how much has changed in the past 100-150 years – indoor plumbing, electricity, refrigeration, we went from cooking with wood fire, to gas, to electricity, to microwaves and now to magnetic induction (cooking with magnets), which boils water in a fraction time compared to the other cooking methods. The kitchen is no longer the hot, steamy, relatively dirty room in the back of the home where only the cook and helpers ventured.

Today’s modern kitchen is open to guests. Guests join us for a glass of wine while we prepare the meal, talk about food and our lives. Today, we think of the kitchen as the heart of the home where everyone gathers. Compared to 100 years ago we spend much more time living and entertaining in our kitchens. This creates new and different demands for this space. The kitchen of the past was mostly utilitarian. Today, the kitchen is filled with utility, but also it also needs to be beautiful, inviting, safe and spacious for guests. When these elements are achieved in the kitchen you can achieve a harmonious environment for family and friends.

Now, let’s take a look at how Superior Woodcraft’s custom made kitchen transformed the kitchen of the past into a modern day kitchen that delivers utility, beauty and harmony.

The range with a ventilation hood helps control heat, moisture, oils and odors in the kitchen making a pleasant environment for guests.

Plenty of space and seating for several people to be in the kitchen at the same time without spoiling the meal. Beautiful custom made cabinetry provides a beautiful backdrop for the stage featuring the family’s daily life. Who wouldn’t want to spend time in a beautiful setting like this?

A custom pantry by Superior Woodcraft provides even more storage space for modern living.

We hope that you have enjoyed the tour as the work is finalized in this lovely old home. It is great to see how an older home can be renovated for modern day living. Thanks for joining us on this field trip. We hope to see you soon.

Welcome back to Cranberry, New Jersey. We hope that you enjoyed the tour of some exquisite modern bathrooms in this older charming home.

One problem with many older homes is that they lack the closet and storage space needed for modern living. About 100 years ago we spent about 14% of our income on clothing, 23% on housing and 43% on food. Today, it is common to spend 4% of our income on clothing, 33% on housing and 13% on food. What is interesting is that over the last 100 years the percentage of income spent on clothing is much lower; however, we own a greater quantity of clothes today. Today we need to dedicate more space in our homes to store our vast quantity of apparel. So, this older home was outfitted with custom closets to update the home for modern day living. Let’s take a quick tour of modern day closets.

Here we have a custom closet with plenty of room to hang clothes, shelves for storage and drawers as well. Scroll through all of the closets below too see how plenty of closet space was added to this old home. Become inspired to get organized and create your own custom closet for your home.

Photos From the Field – Bathrooms

On a recent sunny day with bright blue skies we found ourselves on a field trip to Cranberry, New Jersey to visit a work site in process. The home is a beautiful old home in Cranberry that is being updated for the 21st century. This project blends the best of old and the new and is looking stunning; so, we just could not resist sharing.

During the next few blog posts we’ll take you on a quick tour. When the project is finished we will share much more, but for now, come along and enjoy the work in process as we approach this lovely home.

Inside we’ll start our tour by focusing on the bathrooms, which is normal after a road trip. Here we find a modern bathroom in beautiful shades of white, gray and silver. Down the hallway is a lot of natural sunlight.

The solid color paint on the Superior Woodcraft vanity provides an anchor point in the middle of beautiful stone work with lots of movement. The reflection of the stone in the mirror almost makes the mirror totally disappear.

Moving right along we find another bathroom equally as beautiful with double sinks, and simple, but elegant, custom cabinetry with a beautiful floor.

In another bathroom we have to interrupt the tile setter, sorry. Great tile work. A beautiful blue color on the vanity with a double sink is complemented by the warm tones of the tile floor. Ok, we’ll return this bathroom to the tile setter so the beautiful work can be completed. Thanks for allowing us to disturb your great work.

Finally, we come to a nice, single bowl, custom made cherry vanity. This vanity has a custom made blue tape pull installed on one door, and a hole in the wall where a mirror would be highlights the beautiful marble top. The herring bone tile floor is simply stunning. We apologize for being a bit cheeky over this work in process. We simply can’t wait to see the completed project. It will be brilliant.

Exiting the powder room I see a well organized small room with lots of cabinetry. Oh wait, that’s not a room it is a closet! We have to take a look at this, but we’ll have to pause until our next post. Come back in a few days and rejoin our tour of this lovely old new again home in Cranberry, New Jersey.

Traditional Bryn-Mawr Colonial Gets a Modern Superior Kitchen

We recently worked with interior designer Lori Shinal on a Traditional Bryn Mawr colonial style home. Lori worked with the client to upgrade every room in the house, and partnered with Superior on the kitchen design and cabinetry.

The final product is this stunning, contemporary kitchen. Lori states that “The client went edgy with the kitchen; it’s definitely contemporary. It feels like a sophisticated Manhattan space. She kept showing us a picture that was her inspiration. It was an advertisement with a white kitchen and veneer cabinetry.

To read more about the kitchen and the entire home’s upgrade, take a look at this interview with Lori Shinal featured on www.mainlinetoday.com.

Photos From the Field – March 2016 Update

The winter has been busy at Superior Woodcraft’s custom cabinetry shop. We haven’t been able to share many photos from the field lately. When it’s cold outside, your bundled up and dealing with ice and snow you don’t think about taking photos. A cup of warm coffee or tea is usually in our minds. We did manage to snap some shots in the early part of winter and some indoor photos during the winter. We have a variety of projects at different stages to share with you. One recently completed project, a project being installed and an one upcoming project. These projects demonstrate the wide scope of commissions undertaken at Superior Woodcraft. The photos also reveal the versatility of our designers and craftsmen. No matter what style you desire Superior Woodcraft can create custom cabinetry that is uniquely yours. Enjoy our photos from the field and hopefully in a few weeks you will see some photos with spring flowers blooming. For now, enjoy a quick field trip while we sip a warm drink and think about a warm spring breeze and spring flowers.

New Live Edge Slabs Just Arrived

At Superior Woodcraft we just love wood and can’t resist sharing photos of interesting wood that will eventually grace our clients’ homes. This week we had two new beautiful live edge slabs arrive at our shop.

Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) is a beautiful wood that comes from Australia. This beautiful work of art from mother nature will eventually become a fablous table for our client.

French Walnut or European (Juglans regia) is mostly concentrated in eastern Europe and western Asia. When viewing french walnut you can see why it received this name Juglans regia or royal walnut. Many of the finest antiques are made from french walnut. This outstanding live edge french walnut slab will become the counter top for a client.

We hope that you enjoy viewing photos of these live edge slabs that will be transformed by our craftsmen and become fine handcrafted Superior Woodcraft custom. We’ll eventually post photos of the completed projects.

Getting the Most Value When Remodeling Your Kitchen – Part III

In the first two posts about Getting the Most Value When Remodeling Your Kitchen, we covered two main points:

Part I: To gain the most value from your investment you should expect to invest between 10-20% of the value of your home on your kitchen. Start by setting your initial budget at 15% of the value of your home, then increase or decrease your budget as desired within that 10-20% range.

Part II: Maintaining the existing floor plan will result in a cost savings. The drawback is that you are limited to the existing floor plan. Changing the floor plan can improve flow and function of the space in order to provide greater utility, and a greater level of utility increases the value of your kitchen.

In this third and final segment we will discuss the next consideration, determining the price/quality category of the kitchen components – cabinetry, appliances, plumbing fixtures, counter tops, tiles, flooring, lighting and all the individual items that create your kitchen.

Choosing Kitchen Components

No matter what your budget, you want to receive the most value for your money. Price is just one part of the equation. Look for products that are of higher quality, have good customer reviews and favorable repair records. A low price is no bargain if the product is of poor quality. Next consider the quality of the installation service and overall customer service. Strong project execution is as important as the quality of the products. Poor customer service or poor installations will ruin a project even if you use the best products. Your overall budget will determine the target price range, which determines the quality range you should consider.

It is important to purchase all of your components within the same price/quality category. If you install stock cabinetry, low-end appliances and then top-of-the-line granite counter tops, you’re wasting your money. This would be similar to wearing flip-flops with a designer suit. When you purchase all of the products within the same price/quality categories you are maintaining a consistent price/quality point that is appropriate for the value of your home. All of the components complement each other and create the most value for your money.

Price/Quality Categories

Modest budgets should consider stock cabinetry, basic appliances, good quality floor covering and a laminate counter top.

Mid-range budgets will incorporate semi-custom cabinetry, mid-priced appliances, better quality flooring, laminate or solid surface counter tops. Custom cabinetry could also be appropriate, especially if you are going to reside in your home for 5 years or longer. Custom cabinetry will not only provide you with your exact needs and desire, but custom cabinetry is higher quality and will provide more value for the longer term.

Upper mid-range to high-end budgets will utilize custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, best quality floor covering, granite counter tops, high-end plumbing fixtures and quality lighting.

The following information can be used as a good starting point to help create a budget. Let’s look at appliances first. The chart below provides the range of appliances packages. The higher end appliance include high quality appliances and additional luxury items like wine coolers, warming drawers, double ovens, built in coffee makers etc.

2015 Appliance Package Price Range

Basic Appliance Package – $12,600

Gourmet Appliance Package – $26,500

Luxury Appliance Package – $34,000

Elite Appliance Package – $43,000

Super Elite Appliance Package – $75,000+

Now when looking at the entire project you can expect to spend
approximately 56% of your budget on design/cabinetry/installation. Allocate 30% of your budget for appliances and the remaining 14% to all other items. These percentages will vary depending on the exact needs and desires, but these guidelines will help you to start creating a budget.

Shop at an appliance dealer than carries several different appliance brands. This will help you receive unbiased input from the appliance dealer.

Tips
Your overall budget will determine which product category to shop. Your local kitchen designer can help you make the appropriate selections for your budget.

When you are comparison shopping be sure you are comparing apples to apples. Ask what items and features are included in your estimate.

Don’t forget to ask for estimates for delivery and installation. You want to be able to determine the full price of your selection and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Don’t hesitate to get an estimate from a custom cabinet maker. Don’t assume that custom cabinetry is too expensive. By design, custom cabinet makers are able to be flexible. Since custom cabinet makers are not creating a stock product, they have flexibility in their business models that can allow them to design and manufacture cabinetry for a range of budgets. Often times installation prices are lower for custom cabinetry as it was designed to fit a specific location in your home and cabinetry doesn’t need to be modified.

Use the Superior Woodcraft Blog as a resource to preview appliances, plumbing fixtures, flooring and more.

Remember, price is only one part of the equation. When making your decisions focus on total value and keep all selections within the same price/quality category.

Follow These 3 Suggestions

Spend between 10-20% of the value of your home on your kitchen. To start the process, set your initial budget at 15% of the value of your home, then make needed adjustments to your budget as desired within that 10-20% range.
Determine if you gain the most value by maintaining the existing floor plan or if greater value can be achieved by altering the floor plan.
Use your overall budget to determine the price/quality category for all kitchen components and make sure all selections are within the same price/quality category.

Following these suggestions and working with your local kitchen designer will set you on your way to a successful and intelligent kitchen remodel that provides you with the most value, satisfaction and enjoyment.

Getting the Most Value When Remodeling Your Kitchen – Part II

In the first article concerning Getting the Most Value When Remodeling Your Kitchen we learned that to gain the most value from your investment you should expect to invest between 10-20% of the value of your home in your kitchen. Investing less than 10% of the value of your home when remodeling your kitchen could be a waste of money and could even decrease the value of your home. Spending greater than 20% could result in an over-improvement, which won’t allow you to capture the full value of your investment.

In this post we will discuss the next critical consideration – your kitchen floor plan.

Should you keep the existing floor plan or make changes?

In most cases maintaining the existing floor plan will result in a cost savings. When you maintain the existing floor plan you don’t need to relocate plumbing, electrical and gas lines, which will save you money. Also, you don’t need to change windows, doors or walls. The drawback is that you are limited to the existing floor plan, which is ok if you are happy with your current floorplan. If the utilities lines, windows and doors need to be replaced anyway then the additional cost to place the new items in a different location is just an incremental cost. In this situation changing the floor plan could be very cost effective or provide even greater value.

Why would you consider changing the floor plan?

People often change the floor plan of their kitchen to improve the flow and function of the space in order to provide greater utility. A greater level of utility improves the value of the kitchen. If you have ever lived with a poorly designed kitchen then you understand how frustrating, inefficient, and even dangerous this space can be. You really understand how it lowers the quality of your daily life.

When you are contemplating changing the floor plan the best questions to ask yourself is what improvements will be accomplished, what additional benefits will those improvements provide and finally what is the price tag for realizing those improvements? You achieve a positive value level when the level of utility received is greater than the price paid for achieving that utility: Value = Utility – Price.

To get the most return for your investment only consider changing the existing floor plan if you can realize a positive value. For help consult your local kitchen designer to discuss whether or not it makes sense to change the floor plan of your kitchen.

In Get the Most Value When Remodeling Your Kitchen (Part I) we covered the total budget (10-20% of the value of your home) and in Part II we discussed the impact of altering the existing floor plan. Stay tuned to learn more about product selection and how to gain the most value from your investment.

Installation of Live Edge Maple Top & Mappa Burl Bar

We recently visited an active installation in Stockton, NJ. If you love the beauty of natural wood like we do then you’ll love these photos. We usually don’t share photos of a work in process, but we just needed to share these photos of gorgeous live edge maple tops and railings and Mappa Burl cabinetry. We can’t wait to see the finished product. In the mean time please excuse the dust and the appearance of an active installation site and enjoy these photos of of beautiful works of art from mother nature and Superior Woodcraft.

A Sneek Preview from Our Cabinet Shop – Pecky Cypress Cabinetry

We usually don’t share photos of projects inside Superior Woodcraft’s Custom Cabinet Shop, but every now and then we find something that is unusual and interesting; so, we just have to share it. Today, the wood geek is coming out in this post. Today’s post is one of those interesting projects that just needs to be shared. When the project is completed it will become an outdoor custom kitchen.

This outdoor kitchen was created from pecky cypress. Pecky what? Cypress is a deciduous conifer that is from the southeastern U.S. Bald Cypress is the state tree of Louisiana and is a familiar sight in southern swamp lands. Older growth cypress is resistance to rot and makes it an excellent choice for outdoor kitchens.

Pecky cypress is a unique characteristic that is naturally occurs in some cypress trees. No – pecky isn’t created by swarms of ants or termites, a large swamp worm or other creatures. It is caused by a fungus, Stereum taxodii, which causes a brown pocket rot known as “pecky”. The fungus attacks the heartwood of living trees, usually from the crown down to the roots. The fungus lives inside the tree creating the vertical elongated pockets. You can’t tell from that outside that a cypress is infected with the fungus. When the cypress is harvested and processed the fungus dies leaving a void or pocket. When the pecky cypress log is milled it creates a unique wood filled with character and interest.

From a tree infected with fungus we created unique custom cabinetry that will become a conversation piece and a functional outdoor kitchen. For the moment the cabinetry is resting patiently in Superior Woodcraft’s wood shop waiting for the next stage of this life of this wood…..

Photos From the Field: Superior Woodcraft Custom Furniture

Superior Woodcraft not only creates beautiful cabinets, but we also design and create custom furniture.

Superior Woodcraft was recently commissioned to create custom furniture and matching custom barn doors for a bedroom. Barn doors in a bedroom – that is correct. Take a look and see the final result.

Superior Woodcraft’s client want a warmer natural feel for their living space and so they chose variegated alder. Superior Woodcraft uses the term variegated because it is a better description of the wood’s characteristics . Variegated – mottled, pied, streaked, motley, many-colored, partial–colored, varicolored, in plants this is usually as a result of mutation, infection or specific environmental conditions. Others often refer to wood with similar characteristics as artistic woods, rustic wood, knotty woodor other similar names. Whatever name you call variegated woods it is art provided by mother nature.

Some of you might not be familiar with the Alder tree. Alders can range from a large tree that grows from 40 to 80 feet tall or a small shrub that remains under 25 inches. Over 80 different species of the alder are native to North America alone. The red leaf alder is abundant in Oregon and is characterized by its beautiful red wood and curled leaves.

Now let’s take a tour of how Superior Woodcraft utilized varigated alder:
