The outside of a home that is designed and built of proper scale and exquisite detail
demands a similar treatment to the interior. As historic architecture is the inspiration
for the exteriors of our homes, so also do our interiors reflect that tradition.
The mouldings, cabinetry, paneled walls, bookcases, mantles and stairways that we
design for each of our homes is considered on a case by case basis to assure its
compatibility with the style of home in which it will live. But just as important
a consideration is the lifestyle of the people who will inhabit the home, and so
interior design is a collaborative effort involving each client and our experienced
design team.
In order to maintain control of design and quality of materials and workmanship,
interiors are made in our own shop by our own craftsmen, and so many fine woodworking
details and quality cabinetry not available elsewhere are readily attainable with
our company. We make our own kitchen and bath cabinetry borrowing details from antique
cabinet profiles, combined with modern conveniences and amenities. Cabinetry is
pre-finished at our factory.
We make entire paneled fireplace walls and wainscotings shipped in pre-built pieces
for easy and accurate assembly at the jobsite, and our design and finish team will
make pre-built bookcases and other built- ins as custom pieces.
We make all our own stairs the old fashioned way; glued and wedged treads and risers,
with authentic rail and balusters.
Our interior packages include pre cut window and door trim of select poplar that
arrives bundled and labeled for each door or window, and we pre cut baseboard and
ceiling crown mould as specified.
Wide Eastern White pine flooring with square head nails provided is the most common
wood flooring of choice for most of our customers, but we offer other options as
well.
Interior doors are four-panel or six-panel pre-hung doors, or custom primitive plank
doors, all with appropriate hardware.
We take great pride in seeing that the interior of the home, which is often the
most personal to our customers, is treated with proper sensitivity to historic authenticity
blended with the individual needs and desires of each client. Our interior design
team excels in balancing these important requirements.
"The finish materials are equally as beautiful. As a designer - I know I couldn't
order cabinets and built-ins for the cost of what Connor provides."
