a phased approach to a Major Interior Makeover Dustin Landis President Alliance Custom Cabinetry I n the current housing climate many are looking to their existing residences for ideas in how to achieve the home for which they've always dreamed. We at Alliance Custom Cabinetry were excited to take up this challenge in a vintage stone home and detached garage. The home built in the late 1800's, proved a perfect backdrop to mix current design trends in with the old-world esthetics.

It was decided to attack the project in phases as to not completely disrupt the family. The first phase was the garage's 2nd floor (this page photos).

Through the remodel several of the old boards original to the structure were able to be salvaged and used to create a custom bathroom vanity authentic to the space. The creation of this recreation area gave a cozy relaxing place for the family to maintain some semblance of normalcy while the phase involving the main house got underway.
