John Gorrell Woodworking

Here are a couple of photos of a kitchen in a condo that we did at 2500 Peachtree St. in Atlanta. Condos are a little more difficult because of the freight elevators and the lack of steel studs to attach your cabinets, but overall it worked out fine. The kitchen is painted a failry pure white and the side bar is actuall oak that has a heavy paint and glaze finish. The oak adds a lot of texture even with the paint over it. Dina Varner was the designer. She was very helpful in getting the details just right. Hope you like it.

This is one view of a set of master bath vanities that we installed up in Marietta. Jane Holman did the design work. It is always such a pleasure to work with her. She is really good. The vanity is beaded inset, with drawer faces on the bottom sliced into pieces sot the set of drawer faces combine to look like a door panel. We made the towers, mirror frame and soffit assembly. It looks and works very well.

I have not offered any pictures in quite a while. These are pictures of a kitchen remodel that we did in Brookhaven recently. The dark doors are "grid" style All of the doors have a relatively rectangular presentation while the lighter doors are more conventional. The pedestal at the end of the island is solid walnut with no laminations or glue lines. It is really something to see.

This is one of two vanities and a tub surround that we installed recently. The wood is alder, which stains dark well and lends itself well to the "mocha" colors that are popular now. The vanities have a slat bottom for towels. The posts are 2x2. I also made the matching mirror frames that were in some fancy carved frames.

This is a very pretty walnut sideboard that we completed recently. We finished it dark walnut stain with a dull topcoat. The 8 lite doors worked out well. The island was walnut and the rest of the kitchen was BM Floral White, all beaded inset with lots of trim details and paneled ends. Olin Dillard was the contractor. I have done many jobs with him now. He does very nice work.

This is a photo of a new kitchen we finished recently in the Riverside Drive area north of Atlanta. The project involved removing a wall and installing a big beam to hold the load of the wall. This opened up the two rooms so that they became one big breakfast/kitchen area with lots of space to mingle. The contractor was Andrew McCullough of UMC Renovations and the designer was Paula Avery. They both are excellent at their trade and very professional to work with. The kitchen is tall with the outside cabinets at 106 inches in height and the hood at 120 inches. It is all beaded inset with European functional inset hinges. All of the appliances are panelized and there are lots of decorative feet, columns and brackets around. Let me bid your work.

This should be a treat for your eyes. I have never painted anything this shade of blue, but it is beautiful. Mallory Mathison, an excellent designer here in the Atlanta area came up with the design for the mullions and I completed the rest. The mirrored doors hide a TV on a swivel and some shelves. The little drawers provide visual balance and the doors below hold some items on an adjustable shelf. It fits into the corner quite well. Hope you like it. Now, if you refer anyone to me and I do work for them, I promise to buy you a nice dinner. Just let me know!

This is the Buter's Pantry/ Buffet area of a house that Ladisic Fine Homes completed recently. The house was a major remodel that kept the basement and the front of the house. The roof line changed a lot as well as all of the interior. We did all of the fancy cabinets in the house. They were beaded inset and premium painted construction. We used several column and decorative foot combinations to give some very nice detail to the overall look of the casework.

This is the radius end of the island

This a picture of the buffet area of a kitchen in Brookhaven that we finished last month. It was designed by Jane Holman, a ocal designer tho does really great work. The island has raidus ends. One has overhang for chairs and the other has cabinets that are on radius: doors, face and baseboard are all curved! It was tough to do, but it turned out great.

This is a wall of tall cases in a kitchen that we completed about three months ago. It looks like three cases, but it is not. The end units have pocket doors that cover the tv on the left and the coffee station on the right. The center unit is actually a passage to the pantry. All the te cabinet fronts look the same but the function of each is different. Everything these days is painted white, and this set of cabinets is no exception.
