Cabinet Refinishing and Repair

Robert Olsen is a fine craftsman who has worked on a variety of projects at our 1890s brownstone in NYC and our small, vintage (1940s) “kit home” country cabin over the past 20 years that we’ve known him. Rob recently restored sections of the wood pergola on the back terrace of our brownstone home. Constructed of large oak beams connected by using Japanese wood joinery, after 30+ years, some beams and overhead latticework needed replacing. Robert shopped for appropriate large lumber beams at a variety of locations and secured a stock at a reasonable price. Our small wood cabin is a 1947 kit home, with one 10 x 20 room and a porch.It was well maintained and in good condition when we bought it from the original owner in the 1990s. Intended as a fishing cabin it was still very basic. The kitchen was a two burner electric hotplate, a kitchen sink with a simple hookup to a coldwater garden hose. The kitchen counter was a collection of WW2 wooden ammunition crates topped with linoleum. No toilet. We loved the “feel” of the place and didn’t really want to change much. For more light, we had already added 2 skylights, a back door. We wanted to make the kitchen more user-friendly and install a composting toilet, still keeping it simple and in keeping with the cabin’s small, light aesthetic. Replacing the ammo boxes in the corner, Rob built a beautiful kitchen counter with wood drawers and cabinets, and replaced the existing small window with a wrap-around window that extends over the whole counter area, giving us a view of the lake. For the composting toilet, Rob created a beautiful closet in the opposite corner, with some storage, enclosed with sliding Japanese-style Shozi screens. Over the years, Rob has worked on a number of smaller projects for us. His work has been carefully crafted, beautifully designed, and built and installed to last many years. We recommend Rob to anyone looking for custom craftsmanship and difficult-to-solve situations. Contact info upon request
