Testimonial
Geraldeen and Graham spent well over a year with a massive re-build of their coastal house, circa 1800s. There were times,
she admits, they wondered, "what were we thinking?" That was never the case with their CLC kitchen. "We
wouldn't change a thing," she says. The couple like to entertain and enjoy cooking - they have the perfect place
for both activities.
"The kitchen was a big challenge," she says. "We wanted it to be special - like the house. We wanted local craftsman. O my
word they were great! And they were so nice, so very very nice. I told them what I wanted and Charles told us what we needed."
When the sink arrived, it was much bigger than what was ordered. Not to worry. A lovely big island houses the sink,
wine fridge, dishwasher and four converted wine barrel stools.
Charles and Graham surprised Geraldeen with the finished breakfast nook - they used wood reclaimed from the home's original
build. "Charles knew what would work," she says. "He stayed true to the house. We are really happy."
CLC crew:
- The construction and installation was by Roy Parsons with assistance from Michael Drew, Winston Wagner and Richard Hirtle.
- The solid surface tops were built by Kyle Veinotte.
- Jeff Crouse was our finisher.
Charles Lantz comments:
"The owners were extremly great to get along with and knew what they wanted. I hope that they will enjoy this wonderful space
for a long time. Thanks from CLC and stall for allowing us to help with your project!"
Yours truly, Charles Lantz and Staff
