Walk In Robe for a Grand Home

June 2, 2021

Our brief was to design a grand walk in robe ,

We chose to use America oak for stylish impact, with solid timber doors and drawers.

We used a warmer stain in the open section and for the finishes on the doors we used a soft 2 pack finish, keeping the grain visible.

In this wardrobe there is a place for everything and the owners are overjoyed with this space to create their stylish look.

I would like to thank Mathew and his Team at Finer Living for assisting in delivering our Dream Home.

When we were selecting our cabinet maker we knew we needed to partner with a cabinet maker that could deliver the high level of detail that our project required.

Finer Living  surpassed our expectations in quality and detail from the dovetail draws to the solid timber external finishes.

I have no problem recommending Finer Living  for any high end project for future work .

Dream Kitchen

June 1, 2021

There was a lot of planning involved in the design and making of this dream kitchen,
All drawers and cupboards are A Grade birch ply, with rock maple edges, and all joints are dovetailed, with under mounted drawer runners
And finished in a very hard wearing 2 pack clear finish,
The doors and drawers are solid Oak , 2 pack painted with the grain showing,
The Island unit is a stand alone unit, which just adds something extra to this kitchen,
The top is 25mm solid oak hand laid timber section,
This kitchen is the centre of the home, and is a dream kitchen for this exquisite home.

Bar Cabinet, Creating Spaces that Serve

May 24, 2021

Our Client wanted to bring a unique bar cabinet into their dining room space, that leads onto the deck. This cabinet doubles up to serve the dining and deck dining spaces.

Our client, came to us and asked for a bar with character and style. They selected this timeless style, that works with all other styles of decor.

We used Am Walnut timber , with a leather insert in the pull down section for serving. The inside of the cabinet is also Am Walnut, with solid brass supports and we added two leds lights in the display area, to give this section a soft glow at day and night.

Our client’s words: Matthew and his team have created something unique that could not be bought from a store at any price.  With exceptional quality displayed in the construction, finishes, and details, I look forward to enjoying my dry bar with friends and family for many years to come.  To complement the end result, the design, construction and installation process was hassle free.  Would recommend Finer Living to anyone who is looking for that special piece.

Queenslander Renovation

April 1, 2021

Trebilcock Architects engaged us to craft all the joinery for an old Queenslander having a complete make-over. Working with an old house can bring many dilemmas; how to work the old into the new without losing the integrity of the historical elements. We created a Hamptons style interior with a difference.

Working closely with the clients and the Architects we were able to achieve a flowing and timeless modern home.
