Welcome To Stew Bradley

Architectural custom built furniture, commonly known as built-in furniture, has been around for a very long time.  In this country, historic colonial homes have corner china cupboards in the dinning room.  The Shakers of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine, were famous for their halls lined with cabinets, drawers, and shelving built into the walls.  During the craftsman period of the early nineteen hundreds built-in bookcases, writing tables, inglenooks, kitchen cabinets, and sideboards were all part of the finish work performed by the builder.  Later Frank Lloyd Wright included lots of functional built-ins such as window seats and wall benches that matched his unique architectural style.  No matter what time in history you look at you will find people have put the structure of their house to good use by making some of the furniture an integral part of it.

Today built-ins may be a more attractive furniture option than ever before.  Home offices using quality furniture along with built-ins allows that once extra bedroom to become a work space that doesn’t feel like it’s in an institution.  The audio visual components that many of us have come in a variety of sizes and colors with lots of wires, and sometimes unattractive faces that are better off hidden when not in use. 

There are many things in our modern homes that need a place of their own.  Yet it is often difficult to find a piece of free standing furniture that can accommodate the specific storage need and at the same time fit into the space we have available.  Custom made closet systems are an excellent solution, matching the exact size available with the shape of the items to be stored and most importantly doing it in a style that compliments your home.

I invite you to look at some of the built-ins and other pieces I have created over the years.  All of the things you see here were designed and created in close cooperation with the homeowner.  You will find information about the process I use to design and create exactly the built-in furniture you want to solve a storage problem, make a room more functional, and add to the beauty of any room in your house.

I'll be happy to look at your situation and provide you with solution ideas and an estimate.  Please contact me via email or call 603-205-1516
