by Gepetto Millworks | Nov 30, 2009 | Architectural Millwork, Built-in Storage VA, Richmond VA Woodworkers, Williamsburg VA

Gepetto brought handmade care to the architectural drawings for Si Restaurant in Downtown Richmond.

View the gallery above to see this heart pine and maple custom milled with circular passageways, arcs and slanted wine rack shelves. The bar style table extends from the vertical curve of the wine rack for bar height seating. The unique table construction utilizing cross grain square cut tiles planed and polished with an epoxy sealer brings the natural warmth and organic fingerprint to the entire surface of the restaurant interior. The bench seating formed from a wave of finish grade ply melds up into the walls and their block and line modern design. The natural organic unstained wood complements and warms the minimalist modern design. (more…)

Project Spotlight: Reclaimed Barn turned kitchen, cabinets, and shelves

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.

A panel was applied to the Sub Zero refrigerator as well was the cabinet door panels made up of the siding boards. The texture resembled lead pellets and wind deterioration of the barn siding. The character was perfect addition to the distinguished clients’ farmhouse.
