Hi All,

As you may already know, we've had a bit of a rebrand from Jamie Williams Carpentry to Jamie Williams Design. We've come along way since Jamie first started out and we feel that our team has moved on from calling ourselves carpenters. We're designers, craftsmen some would say artists (we're not artists) but essentially we are the guys who spend their time creating exceptional kitchens and furniture.

We want you to feel that when you walk into our showroom that you're getting the full service, not just some guys bashing wood together. Look out for our upcoming post about our photorealistic CAD designs, this state of the art software really allows you to see your vision of the project you came to us with before we've even cut the first plank.

We would love it if you could help us out by liking our social media pages and sharing our blog posts so more people can see our beautiful kitchens and furniture in their home.

Beautiful Limed Oak wardrobes in the Cotswolds

,

Hi Guys,

We've got a special treat for you. A client, looking for something contemporary, classic but yet practical to fit into her historic home in the Cotswolds. We had a look at a few ideas with her and our suggestion of Limed Oak was chosen as a perfect fit for the style of her home, creating the feeling of aged wood, whilst achieving a sense of elegance and character that only years of use could bring to any other materials.

Dating back to the 16th century, Limed Oak (or Cerused if you're from America) was a white lead derivative used as a cosmetic application by royalty such as Queen Elizabeth I. Although this paste is highly toxic for humans, cabinetmakers found it extremely useful to fill the open grain of oak planks. This finish was popular in the Art Deco era and people such as Jean-Michel Franck and Paul T. Frankl. In the 1950's this technique was very popular and was contrasted against a black stain.

These days we Lime our oak using non toxic methods so you've got nothing to worry about when we install your project in your home. 

We've posted a few pictures below of the finished project in all of its glory so you can see the true beauty of this installation. We hope you can get some inspiration from our work and feel free to mention it, if your looking for this finish on your project.

We'd love it if you comment and share this post, or even like it on our social pages if you've got a sec.

 
 

Feature Media Unit (concealing 60inch TV)

We're back with another outstanding feature installation by the Jamie Williams Design Team. Don't mistake this at first glance for your bog standard IKEA furniture, far from it my friend. 

This modern 5 metre! media cabinet was specially designed for a client looking for something to house and conceal all of his most precious items but also be a functional media centre, bookshelf and place to showcase family photos. We think it really is the centrepiece of the home and the concealed TV area means when it's not in use it turns into a minimalist book shelf. 

We built this unit to fit seamlessly into the home with push close and open doors and clean lines. But it's also something that's hardwearing and can withstand the knocks and bangs of everyday living. We don't put a price on quality and use only the finest materials and fittings so you can be assured that whatever we make for you, it's guaranteed to last a life time.

Is this something that your home is missing, or maybe you've got an entirely different idea but love our attention to detail and the quality of our work? Please contact us and we will arrange a consultation to discuss your ideas.
