A client had a piece of property just West of Richmond, Virginia which housed an old barn dated 1741. Gepetto Millworks was commissioned to take the wood from the barn to build a kitchen, and custom built-in shelving and seating for the farmhouse that they were renovating on the same property. All of the wood was reclaimed and processed in Gepetto’s shop.

Service friendly fittings including ceiling mounted shelving and signage juxtapose rustic charm with design elements for speedy and efficient service by the staff. Creating an L-shaped bar encourages the conversation to flow allowing guests to face each other without interrupting the busy ‘mixologist’.
