My Little Sister's Kitchen
figured
cherry and tamo veneers, cherry, nogal, teak, glass.
Anyone
who contemplates making furniture for a living should,
after a thorough session in any reputable psychiatric institution,
make certain they have at least one family member who
excels in a
career that pays well. Fortunately for Holman Studios,
my sister is really good at what she does, and fortunately
for me, she
kindly forbears her middle brother's eccentricities.
Mindy and Frank wanted a cool kitchen to replace the white
plastic
one they had, and this is what we came up with. Lighting
by Styer and Associates.

Mindy and Fronk's Living Room:
Figured white oak veneer, quartered
white oak, bubinga, ebonized mahogany;
Mindy and Fronk were looking
for something to warm up the large expanse of living room
in their contemporary home. We chose warm wood tones, and
incorporated some carving to bring a human scale to the work.

Eckenfelder
Kitchen:
Cherry solids and veneers, figured
maple solids and veneers, walnut;
When the Mormon bishop of a nearby
town was building his home, he asked me to do the kitchen after
seeing my wife and me in Home magazine. I tried to make the
kitchen look like individual pieces of furniture rather than
rows of identical cabinets |

St. Germain
Library:
Cabinets: pine, dyes, glazes,
glass; bible stand: crotch mahogany veneers, mahogany, dyes,
glazes.
Janet has a fascinating collection
of old volumes; we designed these cases -- in an eighteenth
century portion of her home -- to hold them. The glass shelves
are inert and don't react with the paper and bindings of the
books. |

John and Cathy's Shaker Cabinets:
Butternut;
When Cathy is seeking
refuge from John and his cigars, she comes to the relative
tranquility of this study. These cabinets are based on Shaker
examples in Enfield, NH, and store, among other things, a
quite un-Shaker television and a wet bar.

John's Room 1:
Cherry veneers and solids.
John wanted a room that felt
like a mens' club of old, where he could sit in a big, overstuffed
chair by the fire and smoke cigars and drink old scotch, surrounded
by 300 of his favorite books. I paneled all the walls in cherry;
John supplies his own scotch.

John's Room 2:
Pine, dyes, glazes;
John didn't have a place big enough
for his collections of knives, shotguns, humidors, fishing rods,
fishing nets, sporting books, fly-tying equipment, etc. He also
needed to accomodate raucous gatherings of men, cigars and the
prerequisite cocktails. John's second room adresses these needs,
while to all appearances having been there since Ethan Allen
trod the Green Mountains. |

Livingston Kitchen:
Pine, dyes;
Judy needed a kitchen in her
Victorian home, so we matched existing casework in the butler's
pantry. Combined with the marble counters, the casework looks
like it has always been there.
