Project Description – Customer required a “all white, clean, open” space.  Because of this, subtle details were added to break the monotany of “white on white” such as rope corners, raised end panels, and intricately detailed rope crown molding.  In addition, customer desired island with a large racetrack marble counter top supported only in the center allowing for seating at both ends with no obstructive means of support.

Unusual Aspects – Distance of counter top end overhangs for seating presented a challenge to find an adequate and structurally sound design to provide support.  Island was manufactured in parts and assembled on site to insure a cohesive, structurally sound unit, while corbels were secured with large lag bolts to support the weight of the not only the corbels but the counter top.

Why I like the CMA – Our company has benefited from membership by being able to capitalize on the experience, expertise and wisdom of other members through the forums, from business and product knowledge, to equipment and shop needs.
