Ok this one got me excited. Our custom built-in cabinets were just featured last night on @windycityrehabchi , Season 5 episode 3! And @thealisonvictoria she went crazy on this condo! I told her it felt weird being on camera. She said “you’ll get used to it”.

The site was a high rise penthouse on the Gold Coast in Chicago. We were so high up you could see the curvature of the earth looking out at Lake Michigan, it was beautiful. Definitely the most dramatic job site view I’ve ever seen.

My studio designs and fabricates custom built-ins. Overall we do: libraries, kitchens cabinets, mud rooms, shelving, dining rooms. Email us to discuss your next project! ....Oh, and smile Ace😁. #chicagobuiltins #custombuiltins #windycityrehab #cffstudio taken in Downtown Chicago by @firefurniture

10 years ago when I was 29 years old and frustrated with my career I asked an older business guy for advice on how to start a business. With no hesitation he told me “you can’t…you have 3 kids”. Now I have 6 kids, I’m approaching my 10 year business anniversary and family day in the woodshop looks like this. #woodshop #woodworking #familybusiness by @firefurniture

* *** New Work Alert*** This custom built-in, entryway partition wall, and bar was featured in @windycityrehabchi Season 5 Episode 8 tonight! 🔥 It was definitely the most technically complex project I worked on this year. A lot of late nights and weekends on the job site but it came out amazing!

Huge shout out to @thealisonvictoria for knocking it out the park AGAIN💪🏾💯. What was your favorite part? The partition entryway wall or the green built-in library? #interiordesign #builtins #windycityrehab #custommade

I'm excited to announce that my talented friend @ericdseals and his team @digife were just awarded two Silver Telly Awards for Craft Cinematography and Best General Documentary under 40 minutes!

Eric and company captured some amazing moments in my studio earlier this year, well deserved bro!

"One key lesson I learned over time is to let the room dictate the lighting. In the past, I often tried to force a specific look, fighting against the natural setup, which usually led to disappointing results"
